I would go for Azul Platform Core where someone needs secure JRE and JDK at a cheaper price where they can afford some CPU memory spikes. If you are highly concerned about the high availability of systems, or CPU memory usage, then, in my opinion, Azul Platform Core should be avoided. Also, considering what I believe to be their poor support, you might want to reconsider buying this subscription.

I would recommend it, it has the latest from IBM with IBM z that perhaps together with high-end processors of the latest technology make a spectacular relationship.I suppose that a good team of engineers is necessary, this is not for apprentices.If you are in that situation, I recommend starting with a program with not so many details or settings.

Support Rating
Azul Systems, Inc
We have had plenty of contact previously with the Azul Platform Core's support team. They provided us with ways of debugging our JVM crashes and upload data to a provided FTP server where their support employees could assist by reviewing our special cases. The help they provided has been invaluable in optimizing our JVM.
