Microsoft acquires jClarity to help optimize Java workloads on Azure
Today Microsoft is announcing the acquisition of jClarity,
the leading contributor to the AdoptOpenJDK project, to support their continued
contributions to open source while driving increased performance for Java
workloads on Azure. The team, formed by Java champions and data scientists with
proven expertise in data driven Java Virtual Machine (JVM) optimizations, will
help teams at Microsoft to leverage advancements in the Java platform. At Microsoft, we strongly believe that we can
do more for our customers by working alongside the Java community. The jClarity
team, with the backing of Microsoft, will continue to collaborate with the
OpenJDK community and the Java ecosystem to foster the progress of the
platform.
In the last few years, Microsoft’s usage of Java has grown
and now includes multiple large-scale deployments, such as Azure HDInsight and
Minecraft. Additionally, Microsoft customers like Adobe, Daimler and Société
Générale have brought their Java production workloads to Azure, and strong
partnerships were established with Azul Systems, Pivotal, Red Hat and Oracle to
bring the full power of the ecosystem. With more than half of compute workloads
running on Linux, Azure has become a great platform for open source, and that
certainly includes Java.
The jClarity team are JVM experts who have helped their
customers optimize their Java applications while also providing leadership and
support within the Java open source community. For us, this is the perfect match.
The relationship with this team is not new: since June 2018, Microsoft has
sponsored the AdoptOpenJDK project to help build binaries of OpenJDK for
different platforms, including Linux and Windows.
Microsoft Azure and jClarity engineers will be working
together to make Azure a better platform for our Java customers, and internal
teams, improving the experience and performance of the platform for Java
developers and
end-users.[Source]-https://blogs.microsoft.com/blog/2019/08/19/microsoft-acquires-jclarity-to-help-optimize-java-workloads-on-azure/
