Payara Cloud Shortlisted In The Cloud Excellence Awards 2024

The judging panel of the Cloud Excellence Awards 2024 shortlisted Payara Cloud in the category ‘Most Innovative Cloud Product’, whose winners will be announced on September 18th, 2024. Designed to support Jakarta EE applications in the cloud, the solution offers an innovative ‘click-to-deploy’, fully managed runtime from Payara Services Ltd., the leader in application server technology.

Payara Cloud, one of the finalists in the running up to become the most innovative cloud product of the year, is an enabling technology for cloud computing. This is a fully managed runtime that runs and scales Jakarta EE/MicroProfile applications seamlessly while managing all the cloud infrastructure for users. It offers a flexible and powerful way to easily run software applications on the cloud through a ‘plug-and-play’ deployment framework for developers and DevOps specialists. This is achieved by automating the deployment pipeline, which simplifies and shortens the deployments and management of software applications to the cloud, significantly reducing costs and time-to-market.

More specifically, Payara Cloud redefines the way Jakarta EE applications are deployed, taking an approach that handles server-related complexities on behalf of users. It leverages the core principles of Jakarta EE to isolate deployable applications from infrastructure intricacies.

As a result, Payara Cloud helps businesses futureproof their operations and benefit from the cloud by revolutionizing how Java-centric software applications are deployed and managed in this space. In addition, Payara Cloud dynamically adjusts to application needs, providing automatic scaling and robust performance.

The Cloud Excellence Awards recognize the UK’s finest products, vendors, use cases and services in the cloud computing industry, spotlighting innovations that bring fresh solutions to market. The ‘Most Innovative Cloud Product’ category celebrates the product or service that demonstrates innovation through unique features, novel approaches or significant advancements in cloud technology.

Steve Millidge, CEO and Founder at Payara Services, comments: “Cloud computing offers a wealth of benefits to companies and their web applications. However, cloud infrastructures can be challenging to manage.  At Payara, we are enabling companies to futureproof their web applications through user-friendly solutions that simultaneously free up software teams, so they can focus on building business value.

“Having Payara Cloud among the finalists for the prestigious Cloud Excellence Awards is exciting for the whole team. It is an acknowledgement of our innovative mindset and our positive impact in cloud computing. We look forward to the announcement of the winners later this year.”
