Harness the power of next-generation virtualization. Take your business IT initiatives to the Cloud and bring your existing applications along on the journey.
The Waratek CloudVM for Java is a game-changing product that takes Java to the Cloud and future-proofs all your application investments.
There are potentially serious incompatibilities and costs around running Java in the Cloud which have prevented organizations from re-engineering their businesses to take full advantage of new IT delivery models. Having standardized on Java, many organizations face unexpected challenges as they look to the future.
The Waratek CloudVM for Java is a breakthrough product that plugs this strategy gap, enabling organizations to control costs, drive new efficiencies and reap the benefits that new Cloud platforms have to offer.
The much-hyped promise of turning IT into a service, delivered back to the business in a way that can be scaled and metered, becomes a reality with the Waratek CloudVM for Java.
Whether it’s deployed on an external Cloud Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) such as Amazon EC2, internally within an organization or helps improve Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) offerings, our cloud-friendly Java Virtual Machine is the key to unlocking on-demand features that are transforming the way IT is consumed.
Some of the problems that the Waratek Cloud VM for Java solves include: Server Sprawl, Virtualization density, Java-as-a-Service (JaaS), Cloud Enablement and Hardware Migration.
See it in action
Accelerate time-to-market for new business initiatives and application services
Greater flexibility in provisioning, customization and optimization of applications transforms set up costs from a capital to an operational expense, with elastic computing power that can be scaled up and down as required.
Take legacy applications to the Cloud without re-engineering or re-writing
Because the Waratek CloudVM for Java is binary compatible, developers can operate their past and present Java applications without wasting time and money modifying existing code. No code change and no restrictions.
Reduce the hosting burden while delivering continuous availability
High application density on our unique multitenant platform reduces power consumption and the datacenter footprint, bringing application costs down by as much as 90 per cent.
Control the precise costs of computer usage in real time
When each department within an organization is party to a charge-back model, where they are metered in real time on what they use rather than what they have at their disposal, IT becomes a utility service. The business has much better visibility and greater control of costs.
Prioritize access to applications in real time
Rather than run multiple instances of the same hardware/software, different users with different requirements can access the same application from a multitenant environment. The ability to prioritize resources for each application in real time is more efficient and saves money.
Leverage the agility of the Cloud and on-demand services
Our combination of granular elasticity and instant scalability gives a business unprecedented agility. Having the capability to automatically “flex” an application up and down creates an “always-on” enterprise that is more responsive to market forces.
Achieve business transformation in a virtualized environment
Having turned virtualized server infrastructure into a dependable business computing system, there is an opportunity for radical service improvements. From provisioning powerful transaction-oriented applications to delivering a highly available disaster recovery solution, the Cloud environment can be leveraged for true business transformation.
