Azul Chief Technology Officer and Co-Founder Lauded for
Jumpstarting a Revolution in Processing Technology MOUNTAIN VIEW,
Calif., Oct. 25 /PRNewswire/ -- Azul Systems, the award-winning
leader of enterprise server appliances that deliver compute and
memory resources as a shared network service, today announced that
Gil Tene, vice president, CTO and co-founder of Azul, has been
named among the top 50 most influential individuals in technology
in Silicon.com's seventh annual Agenda Setters. The entire report
can be view at
http://www.silicon.com/research/specialreports/as2006/ . Tene
co-founded Azul in 2002 following a stint as director of technology
at Nortel Networks and was included in the Top 50 for being at the
heart of a revolution in processing technology. In coming to the
their decision, the judges noted, "Tene oversees the development of
technology that eschews the need for quibbling about operating
systems and applications by running Java(TM) functions directly on
the silicon chip...while others argue over whether two-core or
four-core is better, Azul has developed 24-core processors which
feature built-in virtualization plus lower acquisition and running
costs than comparable technology." "The Java platform is the future
of application development; it became clear that commodity servers
are not designed to run Java and could prevent Java-based
applications from scaling to handle massive transaction volumes,"
said Tene. "I am deeply honored that Silicon.com has recognized the
importance of the Azul multicore technology in ushering in a new
era of processing in which our virtualization capabilities will
create unlimited pools of shared processing power and memory."
