Red Hat, Azul Systems expand alliance

Red Hat is bringing high density storage capabilities to its in-memory data management technology, Red Hat JBoss Data Grid, through an expanded alliance with Azul Systems. The agreement builds on a prior collaboration between the two companies, and provides entitlements for Azul Zing with JBoss Data Grid subscriptions.

Azul’s Zing runtime for Java can support high performance on-heap storage, making it well-suited for JBoss Data Grid deployments that feature large in-memory data sets, said Red Hat in a statement.

By providing Zing with JBoss Data Grid, Red Hat is extending support for persistent operation of Java instances that can manage up to eight terabytes of memory.

Through the agreement, Zing is available as a zero-cost upgrade option for JBoss Data Grid users with support contracts.
