SUNNYVALE, Calif., and BUENOS AIRES, Argentina, March 12, 2013 — Azul Systems, the award-winning leader in Java runtime scalability, today announced that it has formed a commercial partnership with Epidata Consulting, a market leading South America-based IT consultancy headquartered in Buenos Aires that focuses on software architecture and application performance, monitoring, and management. Under the agreement, Epidata Consulting adds Azul’s Zing™ Java virtual machine to its Java performance management toolkit to enable it to deliver increased application productivity and business efficiencies to new and existing clients.

Through its reseller partnership with Azul Systems, Epidata Consulting is now able to provide an enhanced service which can guarantee improved application response times and more efficient resource consumption to ensure quality metrics and SLA (Service Level Agreement) criteria are achieved and maintained.  Azul’s Zing is a 100% Java-compatible Java Virtual Machine (JVM) and the only solution that delivers consistently predictable low latency and certainty of execution with a quick time to value — with zero code changes or disruption to a company’s existing infrastructure.

Valerio Adrián Anacleto, Director at Epidata Consulting, said: “Deterministic Java performance is a business critical requirement for many of our customers, which is why we approached Azul Systems. Azul’s Zing is seen by many as the de facto industry choice if you are looking to guarantee Java application performance and throughput. Our business has grown on our ability to minimize the risk of application downtime, now that Zing has become a component of our portfolio our offering has become even more engaging.”

Scott Sellers, CEO of Azul Systems, said: “Epidata is a recognized leader in Java application performance, management, and monitoring in Argentina and Chile. As their team identifies a Java performance or scalability issue, they will now be able to deploy Zing and provide immediate business benefit to their clients. We are pleased that Epidata has adopted the use of our products and recognizes the unique value they bring to their customer base. With our partnership with Epidata, South American enterprises can now realize the compelling benefits that customers around the world are achieving with Zing.”
