Java 7 and 6 Support for Government

Unique Azul support for legacy Java versions 6 and 7 used by Government institutions, in addition to Java versions 8, 11, 13, 15, and 17.

Azul is the only provider delivering Java 6 and 7 support across Federal Departments and Agencies, State and Local, Education, Healthcare and other public sector institutions.

Only with Azul Platform Core for the Public Sector can Government organizations get timely security updates and ongoing Azul support for Java 6 and Java 7, versions still used extensively in Government.

Oracle ceased providing supporting Java 6 in December 2018 and will cease providing extended support for Java 7 in July 2022. Only Azul provides timely security updates, and ongoing support for Java 6 and Java 7. Running older versions of Oracle Java in production pose potential risk that can be remedied by simply switching the JVM from Oracle to Azul.

Using Azul support for older versions of Java negates the cost and business disruption of upgrading applications to later versions of Java and enables the business to upgrade applications at their own pace rather than in response to Oracle’s support policy.
