Azul Systems' Co-Founder and Vice President of Software Engineering Shyam Pillalamarri outlined what the company is calling a "5-50 Guarantee" during an exclusive interview with SYS-CON.TV founder and host Roger Strukhoff during JavaOne 2007.

The company is saying that its Compute Appliances can deliver massive amounts of compute to Java-based applications as a shared network device, and can offer at least a 5X improvement in throughput, scalability, and response times, while improving productivity of existing host servers by at least 5X as well. The company also promises "to make things 50X simpler," according to Pillalamarri.

Azul customers, including Credit Suisse, BT, CitiStreet, Pegasus, TrueCredit, BlueChip Expert, NBX are powering their most critical Java applications with Azul, the company says. "There's a better way to host Java applications. No more garbage collection (GC) pauses, no more memory restraints. No more guessing whether you have enough capacity to meet growing or unpredictable demand," according to the company.
