When it fits

Azul Core is the first choice when Java runtime support, compliance, and cost control matter

This is not just a JDK swap. The goal is to bring the Java estate under control: know where it runs, how it is patched, who supports it, and what it costs.

Migration from Oracle Java

For organizations that want to reduce Oracle Java licensing pressure and move to supported OpenJDK without broad application changes.

Security and audit readiness

Regular Critical Patch Updates and a clear support model help keep Java runtimes current and easier to defend in internal and external reviews.

Long-term legacy operations

Azul Core can cover older Java versions and technologies that often remain in enterprise environments longer than teams would like.

Standardization across the organization

One supported runtime across teams, applications, and environments simplifies patching, governance, and operational accountability.

What Azul Core brings to operations

The product combines OpenJDK compatibility, enterprise support, and practical tools for migration, updates, and daily management.

Stable security builds

Updates are prepared for production operations with a focus on security, stability, and predictable deployment.

Java SE compatibility

TCK verification helps preserve application compatibility and simplify migration from Oracle JDK or other distributions.

Faster startup with CRaC

For suitable workloads, technologies such as Coordinated Restore at Checkpoint can improve application startup and warmup.

Support and tooling

The ecosystem includes tools for analysis, migration, time zone updates, and production troubleshooting.

Support

Enterprise Java without feeling like you are on your own

Azul Core fits teams that need a supported runtime and a clear operating model. Solutia adds local consulting, assessment, and help with the migration roadmap.

Standard or Premium by criticality

Support can cover business hours or a more demanding 24x7x365 model for key applications.

Planned security updates

Patching can be aligned with maintenance windows, testing, and security team requirements.

Migration with Solutia

We help map the Java estate, identify risky installations, define the target state, and prepare a managed transition.
