  • Azul Zings Its Java Hardware – Poof, It’s Software

    Updated: 2010-06-23 21:04:56
    Born to peddle pricey proprietary iron built around exotic multi-core chips that ratchet up the scalability of Java apps – a dangerous exercise that has demanded a $200 million investment from its backers – Azul Systems is now going to start selling software that does pretty much the same thing as its fancy appliances but it’s optimized for the latest class of cheap, ubiquitous, increasingly powerful x86 commodity servers. If the stuff clicks in the next year, eight-year-old Azul may be in a position to organize an orderly retreat from its hardware business, which, as it happens, reportedly just saw record Q1 earnings. It may have hundreds of widgets out there, but software’s an easier sell.
