Solarflare

Challenge

Java application latency and jitter can compromise a company’s competitive edge.

Solution

Solarflare develops network interface software and hardware to transform the way applications use networks, providing industry-leading application acceleration for the most demanding scale-out compute environments. Together, Solarflare and Azul provide an integrated runtime platform for Financial Services companies that improves throughput, lowers latency, and eliminates jitter for Java applications.

Result

The Azul-Solarflare solution delivers the key components for application execution consistency while lowering average latency. Solarflare’s OpenOnload high performance network stack reduces TCP/UDP/IP network latency and processor utilization, while increasing message rate and bandwidth. Based on company benchmarks, OpenOnload increases throughput by two to three times, and decreases latency by 50%. When coupled with Azul Platform Prime, average latencies dropped an additional 18%, and max outliers are reduced seven-fold.
