Manage episode 364149927 series 2494686
Azul is the largest provider of commercial support for OpenJDK, supporting more versions of Java than any other vendor, including Oracle.
The University of Sydney has recently selected Azul as the institution’s sole Java provider, switching from Oracle Java. The announcement takes place amid major changes to Oracle Java pricing and a rapid increase in the adoption of OpenJDK-based Java runtimes. By some estimates, usage of Oracle Java has fallen from roughly 75 per cent in 2020 to 34 per cent in 2022.
We speak with Scott Sellers, President, CEO and Co-Founder of Azul, visitng Australia from the USA to meet with customers and partners.
With more than 30 years of successful leadership in building high technology companies and delivering advanced products to market, Scott provides the overall strategic leadership and visionary direction for Azul Systems. Scott has a consistent proven track record of vision, leadership, and success in enterprise, consumer and scientific markets.
Prior to co-founding Azul Systems, Scott founded 3dfx Interactive, a graphics processor company that pioneered the 3D graphics market for personal computers and game consoles. Scott served at 3dfx as Vice President of Engineering, CTO and as a member of the board of directors and delivered 7 award-winning products and developed 14 different graphics processors. After a successful initial public offering, 3dfx was later acquired by NVIDIA Corporation.
Prior to 3dfx, Scott was a CPU systems architect at Pellucid, later acquired by MediaVision. Before Pellucid, Scott was a member of the technical staff at Silicon Graphics where he designed high-performance workstations. Scott graduated from Princeton University with a bachelor of science, earning magna cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa honors. Scott has been granted 8 patents in high performance graphics and computing and is a regularly invited keynote speaker at industry conferences.
