The Java platform provider Azul recently announced the expansion of its global PartnerConnect program. The channel program by Azul offers significant growth and revenue opportunities for partners who assist customers in optimizing their Java applications and Java security ecosystems.
Azul's channel investments occur at an inflection point for third-party Java runtimes, like those based on OpenJDK. Oracle's recent announcement of pricing and licensing Java SE based on all full-time and part-time, temporary employees and contractors regardless of whether they use Java, will increase the adoption of Oracle Java alternatives like Azul Platform Core. Partners of Azul are well-equipped to help companies avoid high Oracle Java licensing costs ranging from 2X to as high as 10X.
Azul provides customers a typical savings of 70% compared to Oracle Java SE, with the largest Java engineering team supporting better Java versions than Oracle. In addition, Azul provides the secure and trusted Java expertise needed in the growing market demand and significant revenue opportunities for its partners.
The Azul channel program expanded creates mutual benefits for partners, with unique opportunities for all partner types. The program, which already spans over 100 partners worldwide, rewards partners with boosted benefits as they grow with the program. Azul provides partners with a wide range of OpenJDK-based products. Its expertise in significantly reducing Oracle Java licensing costs is unmatched, with Azul Platform Core delivering a stable, secure Java runtime that saves up to 70% compared to Oracle Java SE.
