JRockit server side Java for Solaris

Appeal Virtual Machines today released JRockit(TM) 2.0 premium 
Virtual Machine for Java® on Sun's Solaris® Operating System. 
JRockit's scalability, stability and code performance matches the 
needs of typical Solaris Web sites.

Stockholm 2001 03 06. Appeal Virtual Machines, the Swedish Software 
Company dedicated to developing and marketing better Virtual Machines 
for Java, today released JRockit 2.0 for Solaris. A free 90 days 
fully functional trial license can be downloaded from 
www.jrockit.com. Linux and Windows 2000 versions have been available 
for download since February 20. 

Developers and administrators of business critical Web sites 
typically put a premium on stability, scalability and performance. 
This is particularly true for the demanding sites running Sun's 
Solaris operating System. The new JRockit 2.0 Virtual Machine for 
Java offers exactly these features for server side Java, in a product 
that is easy to download and install.

"Our ambition is to offer Java without bottlenecks to major Web sites 
and intranets. JRockit ranges from outstanding to just as good as the 
best competitor, depending on what you measure. We are particularly 
strong on multi user performance in multiprocessor environments and 
I/O for broadband and other demanding applications. But the important 
thing is that JRockit 2.0 will help any Java based Web site get the 
margins on its side", said Joakim Dahlstedt, CEO and principal 
architect, Appeal Virtual Machines.

JRockit has evolved significantly from version 1.1 to 2.0. Solaris is 
supported in addition to Linux and Windows 2000. Multiprocessors are 
fully supported and multi user scalability has improved from an 
already leading position. I/O performance is world class, the system 
can choose between several optimized garbage collectors, and the 
dynamic optimization of code and memory usage has been improved, 
including a patented technology for removing old optimized methods 
from memory without disruptions.

JRockit 2.0 can replace existing JVMs, or be integrated with 
applications by ISVs, OEMs and System Integrators. It works as an 
insurance policy against bottlenecks in Java execution, while 
strictly adhering to the Java specification.
