Azul recently expanded in China, doubling its staff, partners and clients to better fulfill local demands and leverage its operations in the region, a press release reported.
“China is a strategic market for Azul, and our continued investments in the country are delivering rapid growth and substantial customer value,” managing director of Greater China, Azul, Stanley Zhang, said in a press release. “Java is at the center of mission-critical business applications both inside the data center and across the cloud, and Azul provides high-performance and cost-efficient Java runtimes to dozens of customers in China.”
An increasing sum of Chinese companies are selecting Azul to upgrade the banking, securities trading, mobile and e-commerce effectiveness of their business, and to drive down infrastructure and cloud costs, the software company said.
“As China’s leading AI business solution platform, we serve 18 billion daily advertising transactions using our Java-based ad servers. We are delighted to use Azul Platform Prime, having seen exceptional improvement in our ability to meet strict SLAs on our ad-serving infrastructure,” said Xuehua Shen, CTO and co-founder of iPinYou, in a press release.
Through this expansion, Azul hopes to distribute its Azul Platform Prime and Azul Platform Core Java runtime products. Since launching in the country, it has noted a strong demand, and now considers three of the top 10 securities companies and one of the top five futures companies as its clients.
The software company was initially introduced in China in 2021 and has since noted a strong acceleration in demand.
“Azul delivers tremendous value by helping customers in China achieve cost savings, performance improvements and profitable growth,” GM of Digital China Software Solution Business Department, Wang Wei, Wang Wei10, said in the release. “We see the market demand for high-performance Java runtimes and are available to help address key verticals such as banking, e-commerce, mobile applications and securities trading.”
