Greater Java Efficency For Both Licensing and Cloud
30/09/2026 | 13h00 -> 13h40 | Salle G Forum : Cloud, Infrastructures & DatacentersJava is the de facto standard for enterprise application deployment, delivering unparalleled scalability, stability and security.
For most of its over thirty-year history, Java has also been seen as free to use.
The new reality is that there can be significant costs associated with Java licensing for support and maintenance. In addition, the anticipated savings from moving to the cloud’s utility-based pricing model often don’t materialise. In many cases, costs go up!
In this session, we’ll explain how Azul can help reduce your Java costs.
Thanks to Java being open-source, Azul Core provides a simple drop-in replacement for other OpenJDK distributions that includes all the features needed to deliver the maximum level of security and stability for your applications without incurring excessive costs.
Azul Prime is an enhanced distribution of OpenJDK that delivers higher throughput and lower latency without requiring changes to your applications. With better performance, you can provide the same load-carrying capacity with fewer resources, thus reducing your cloud (or data centre) costs.
At the end, you’ll have a clear picture of where you can make significant savings in your Java application runtime costs.
