Case Study: Solarflare achieves lower Java latency and higher throughput with Azul Systems

Improving throughput, lowering latency, and eliminating Java jitter for financial services companies with Azul Platform Prime

Solarflare, serving financial services firms, needed to improve Java application performance where latency and jitter could hurt competitiveness. Working with Azul Systems and Azul Prime, Solarflare sought to deliver a more consistent runtime platform for high-demand trading and risk environments.

Azul Systems and Solarflare implemented an integrated solution combining Solarflare’s OpenOnload high-performance network stack with Azul Prime. The result was lower latency, higher throughput, and reduced jitter: OpenOnload increased throughput by 2x to 3x and cut latency by 50%, while Azul Prime lowered average latency by another 18% and reduced max outliers seven-fold.
