Java for Mid-size Enterprises: On-premises & in the Cloud

The overall Wikibon premise is that Java will continue as a strong foundation for high-security and high-performance applications for on-premises and cloud deployments for all enterprise sizes over the next decade.

As a result of our survey, in-depth discussions, and financial analysis, Wikibon recommends that most enterprise IT executives adopt an “upgrade when necessary” strategy for a mixed portfolio of Java applications as the most flexible and optimal approach. Other enterprises may elect to upgrade some parts of their Java application portfolio every six months. Wikibon strongly recommends the Java SE Subscription services from Oracle or other vendors to support either of these strategies.

There are important OpenJDK projects that will enable Java applications to run more efficiently in private on-premises and public cloud environments. Wikibon recommends close monitoring of these projects to ensure they can be incorporated as necessary.
