Case Study: Ausgrid reduces Java license costs and audit risk with Azul Platform Core

Ausgrid cuts potential Java license costs by 80% with Azul

Ausgrid, Australia's largest electricity distributor, faced a significant challenge with potential Oracle Java licensing costs estimated at $700,000 per year, creating audit risk and anxiety. To eliminate this licensing exposure while maintaining stability across its Java estate, Ausgrid sought a future-proof solution from vendor Azul Systems.

Azul implemented its Azul Platform Core product, beginning with proof-of-concept deployments that gave Ausgrid confidence in a migration from Oracle Java. As a result, Ausgrid reduced its potential Java license costs by 80% and cut the number of Java vulnerabilities by 99%. The company successfully migrated thousands of desktops and hundreds of applications to Azul Platform Core in just two months.
