White label offering lets MSPs deliver Oracle Java license management and compliance, application vulnerability detection and code maintenance services to customers
Azul, the only company 100% focused on Java, today announced its new Managed Services Provider Program for Azul Intelligence Cloud, a program that allows Managed Service Providers (MSPs) to embed Azul Intelligence Cloud’s Java inventory, vulnerability and code use analytics directly into their Java advisory, license management, security operations and DevOps services. Partners gain sublicensing and white-label rights to Azul Intelligence Cloud’s SaaS features, including JVM Inventory, Azul Vulnerability Detection and Code Inventory. The program equips partners to support their customers with unique reporting and analytic insights into their entire Java fleet, including active Java Virtual Machines (JVMs) from Oracle Java, Azul and any OpenJDK distribution.
With the additional use of Azul Vulnerability Detection and Code Inventory, partner services can be further expanded to provide specific direction on eliminating Java Common Security Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) false positives, and at the same time identify unused and dead code for removal across the customer’s Java estate. Using Azul Intelligence Cloud, partners can provide their enterprise customers with continuous, expert-managed insight and reporting into Oracle Java usage and non-compliant licensing risk, security posture, incident remediation and code efficiency. The partner services delivered through this managed approach are perfect for customers wanting to turn production Java runtime data into tangible savings and peace of mind without deploying or operating new tools themselves.
White-label Solution Lets Partners Deliver Turnkey Java Compliance, Security and Code Efficiency Insights
Azul’s Managed Services Provider Program for Azul Intelligence Cloud is built for channel and services partners that want to deliver continuous Java license, security and code-efficiency insights with their other managed service offerings and without asking customers to run new tooling or build a license management or analytics function. Under an MSP agreement with Azul, partners provision a secure, dedicated customer-specific tenant Intelligence Cloud environment for each of their multiple end-customer Java estates and present results to their customers under their own brand that is “Powered by Azul.” Reporting and insights are leveraged from the Azul SaaS-based solution, and partners handle onboarding, lightweight agent deployment, data ingestion, alert configuration and scheduled reporting. Intelligence Cloud telemetry can be packaged into Java license compliance advisories, modernization initiatives and managed reconfiguration services as organizations move to different OpenJDK solutions, or managed DevOps offerings, giving partners flexibility in service design and recurring revenue models. The result is a turnkey path for partners to deliver high-value managed services while end customers gain continuous visibility and compliance assurance with minimal operational lift.
“Azul Intelligence Cloud lets us see every JVM our customers use and depend on — whether it’s Oracle, Azul, or any other OpenJDK distribution — and immediately understand compliance or security gaps,” said Evan Boyd, managing director of Software Licensing Consultants. “Embedding Intelligence Cloud into our managed service portfolio, particularly the annual Java advisory services we provide, means we can deliver faster, more accurate license reconciliation and real-time compliance for our customers while removing the operational burden.”
Reduce Oracle Java Audit Risk, Eliminate Security Vulnerability False Positives and Recover Developer Capacity
With Azul Intelligence Cloud delivered as a managed service, partners realize specific capabilities that change the game in terms of insights for their enterprise customers. Whilst partners are at liberty to use the data from these capabilities in different ways, the solutions themselves deliver several benefits:
- Azul JVM Inventory provides continuous runtime detection of every running JVM, including Oracle JVM instances, with precise details on JVM vendor, version, installation location and the applications running on it, making it easy to discover which Oracle JVMs are in use and subject to Oracle’s commercial terms (i.e. not covered by bundled licenses). JVM Inventory helps map each instance to the responsible team and application so partners can highlight and resolve potential customer-specific Oracle Java license compliance issues.
- Azul Vulnerability Detection strips away up to 99% of security vulnerability false positive alerts that are generated in customer environments by using class-level production runtime data to detect known vulnerabilities in any Java application, allowing managed service security teams to prioritize genuine threats and improve security posture for their customers.
- Azul Code Inventory accurately identifies unused and dead Java code for removal, streamlining modernization projects by minimizing the amount of code that needs to be upgraded and/or maintained. If the partner is delivering consulting to customers, this can drive new levels of efficiency and cost savings. For partners delivering advisory services to DevOps teams, it means customers can be directed on how to free up as much as 40% of their developer time to work on higher priority items like projects or features that drive additional revenue.
In addition, because partners handle Intelligence Cloud agent deployment, data collection and reporting, customers avoid managing yet another console and instead receive clear, curated insights that help control Java licensing costs, reduce audit exposure, fortify security and accelerate innovation.
“Java estates continue to expand across a myriad of deployment environments, and the cost, time and resources required to get the right licensing and security insights for compliance-oriented decision making can be enormous,” said Simon Taylor, vice president of Global Channel and Alliances at Azul. “By giving partners full, managed access to Azul Intelligence Cloud, we’re equipping them to deliver turnkey services where they can put clear, actionable reporting and insights into the hands of their customers’ decision makers. Ultimately, this mitigates license audit risk and cost, surfaces critical vulnerabilities proactively and reclaims developer capacity for their customers.”
