A financial services company was seeking a flexible cloud platform for a big data project that would
protect customers from potential payments fraud. The company wanted to deploy a fully open source
stack for Java and its Java-based big data applications, and it also wanted world-class production
support. The choice of Java Virtual Machine (JVM), a key component for mainstream big data
technologies such as Hadoop and Cassandra, was important to ensure a reliable system.
 SOLUTION
Building a fully open source Java stack on Microsoft
Azure was quick and easy. The financial services
company used the web platform installer to deploy
Zulu, Azul Systems’ 100 percent open source build of
OpenJDK for Java SE 8, 7, or 6. The Azure cloud
provides developers with flexibility to build and deploy
on the best open source Java environment in a way
that is fully supported by Microsoft and Azul Systems.
 BENEFITS
Azure and Azul Systems deliver and support an open
source JDK that is free for development and deployment.

uptime in its datacenters around the world.
