Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"With minimal effort, Zing has helped us improve our latency performance dramatically."

"The non-stop garbage collector (C4 - Continuously Concurrent Compacting Collector) is the most valuable feature."

"With minimal effort, Zing has helped us improve our latency performance dramatically."

"No other JVM on the market even comes close to competing with the Azul Zing."

"Zing has completely solved the garbage collection problem for us."

"GC Pause times are maintained in low milliseconds, which is beneficial for applications with high volume, high memory allocation rate, and a high memory footprint, and it also increases throughput by approximately 20-25% as compared to Oracle Java Development Kit based on some tests that I have done with real applications."

"Performance of the JVM, especially the C4 Pauseless Garbage Collection, for continuous application execution is the most valuable feature."

"With Zing, we've now been able to re-allocate those tuning resources to general product development."

"The product is quite user-friendly."

Cons

"Although Azul claims to have a fast warmup, we still experience higher latency for the first trade when our system starts up on Sundays."

"It is extremely expensive."

"The licensing over non-production environments considerably affects the cost of our solution as a software vendor."

"The profiling tools included with Zing lag behind those available for Oracle's Java implementation."

"Although Azul claims to have a fast warmup, we still experience higher latency for the first trade when our system starts up on Sundays."

"We have encounter stability issues and that has been a source of frustration at times."

"There are some bugs in the solution that lead to breakdowns."

Overview

Zing is an advanced Java runtime (JVM) designed for enterprise workloads that require any combination of large memory, high transaction rates, low latency, consistent response times or high sustained throughput. Zing eliminates Java garbage collection as a factor in production, and conforms to the Java SE standard for Java SE 8, 7, and 6.

Azul Systems

The Java HotSpot Virtual Machine is a core component of the Java SE platform. It implements the Java Virtual Machine Specification, and is delivered as a shared library in the Java Runtime Environment. As the Java bytecode execution engine, it provides Java runtime facilities, such as thread and object synchronization, on a variety of operating systems and architectures. It includes dynamic compilers that adaptively compile Java bytecodes into optimized machine instructions and efficiently manages the Java heap using garbage collectors, optimized for both low pause time and throughput. It provides data and information to profiling, monitoring and debugging tools and applications.
