SUNNYVALE, Calif., – September 12, 2017 – Azul Systems (Azul), the award-winning leader in Java runtime solutions, today announced that Nexoforge™, a team of industry innovators behind an Industrial IoT embedded platform targeting Inductive Automation’s Ignition as an appliance for integrators and end users, will be leveraging Azul’s Zulu Embedded open source Java platform to further enhance the performance of Nexoforge’s Industrial IoT gateway. Nexoforge’s flexible, out-of-the-box automated, edge-of-network devices that are already known for superior speed, intelligence, and dynamic flexibility with no need for manual maintenance will stay ahead of increased demands and decrease costs, all while running on Java, which is considered one of the integral aspects of IIoT.
