Azul Systems, the award-winning leader in Java runtime solutions, today announced a partnership with Integration Systems, a global software solutions provider for the financial markets, which enables Integration Systems’ new and existing customers to leverage the power of Zing®, Azul’s Java Virtual Machine (JVM) which is aimed at environments requiring low latency and high performance.
Azul Zing is a unique JVM that provides consistent low-latency with high throughput, supports large in-memory datasets without performance penalties, and solves the Java “warm-up” problem. Zing eliminates the operational interruptions and response time outliers often experienced by Java-based trading, risk and compliance applications in financial markets. Azul’s ReadyNow!™ technology solves Java’s warm-up problem by allowing applications to start fast at the opening bell and stay fast even as market conditions change during the day.
Theo Long, Managing Director North America at Integration Systems, said: “The need for speed and how to deliver speed continues to drive innovation in financial markets. However, if data delivery becomes unreliable the benefits of gaining a fraction of a second advantage over your competitor can be lost. With Zing, we can now offer our customers a Java-based solution which provides not only low latency but more importantly consistency of throughput.”
“We are delighted to welcome Integration Systems into our partner program,” said Scott Sellers, President and CEO of Azul Systems. “Zing is specifically designed for the real time business, and by removing the shortcomings of Java such as inconsistent response times and application jitter, it enables solution providers like Integration Systems to deliver best-in-breed solutions to their customers in the financial markets.”
