Azul, the sole enterprise entirely devoted to Java, alongside ActiveViam, a preeminent force in high-performance financial analytics, has unveiled a novel partnership aimed at revolutionising cost efficiency within financial analytics.
This unprecedented collaboration unites Azul's advanced Java platform, Platform Prime, with ActiveViam's Atoti platform. The fusion ensures financial services entities benefit from rapid and adaptable in-memory analytics which promptly scales in step with demand. Consequently, this marriage curtails cloud expenditure, quickens analytical insights, and bolsters reactions to volatile market phenomena.
Financial firms are confronted with the challenge of delivering instantaneous risk analyses amidst erratic markets, simultaneously managing infrastructure expenses whilst addressing rigorous regulatory requirements. The migration of comprehensive data applications to the cloud has been a common solution, amplifying cloud costs and bringing cost containment to the forefront of executive concerns.
Through collaboration, Azul and ActiveViam present a solution that consolidates Azul's high-performance Java platform with ActiveViam's analytical workloads. This solution efficiently manages expansive terabytes of in-memory data, allowing for dynamic elasticity in resource allocation.
The exploitation of Azul Platform Prime's CRaC (Coordinated Restore at Checkpoint) feature allows users to utilise a "checkpoint" approach, saving a fully optimised JVM state. This profoundly diminishes latency in Java application start-up, facilitating near-instantaneous JVM deployments.
A major international financial entity overcame extended start-up durations associated with a large-scale, in-memory credit risk application on AWS Graviton by leveraging Atoti in conjunction with CRaC support in Platform Prime. This efficiency improvement resulted in in-memory Atoti instances being provisioned momentarily, thereby enhancing application agility, boosting reliability, curtailing costs, and ultimately advancing business growth.
A refreshed partnership has unlocked new avenues for reducing total ownership costs while upholding performance and operational availability, creating an environment ripe for innovation and progress in complex, financial analytics.
The strategic alignments forged by Azul and ActiveViam reflect a commitment to ensuring financial institutions not only meet but excel in the face of industry challenges. With these technological advancements, the horizon of fiscal analytics continues to expand in capability, reliability, and affordability.
