Case Study: The University of Sydney achieves substantial cost savings with Azul Systems

The University of Sydney Switched from Oracle Java to Azul Platform Core

The University of Sydney, a public sector institution, needed a secure, compatible Java runtime while reducing rising Oracle Java costs amid broader industry shifts. After its own due diligence and a sector-wide offer negotiated through CAUDIT, it selected Azul Systems as its sole Java provider, moving from Oracle Java to Azul Core.

Azul Systems implemented Azul Core as the university’s Java platform, delivering a compliant runtime and simpler procurement through the education sector agreement. The result was substantial cost savings and greater ease of doing business, with Azul Core typically 70% less expensive than Oracle.
