As enterprises face mounting pressure to modernize critical Java applications without disruption, the efforts of Payara Services to support successful cloud adoption have been noticed by the Cloud Excellence Awards 2025. The global leader in enterprise Java middleware and cloud enablement is shortlisted for Best Cloud Support Provider while two flagship products are running for Best Multi/Hybrid Cloud Product and Cloud Management Solution of the Year.
Organized by one of the UK’s leading IT and technology media brands, Computing, the Cloud Excellence Awards celebrate outstanding achievements and innovation in the technology sector. They recognize the most forward-thinking companies, products, services and use cases in the industry, highlight those driving digital transformation and delivering measurable business value.
Payara and its cloud-native technologies are among the finalists that will be evaluated by the awards’ independent jury. Payara Cloud Platform as a Service (PaaS) is one of the contenders for Best Multi/Hybrid Cloud Product, thanks to its market-leading ability to offer one-click deployment of Java applications across public, private, multi and hybrid clouds. The newly launched Payara Qube is a finalist for Cloud Management Solution of the Year, as it offers a unified, Java-oriented, automated platform that simplifies Kubernetes configuration and containerization for cloud-nativeness while ensuring data sovereignty.
In addition to product innovation spotlights, the company is also running for Best Cloud Support Provider for its comprehensive, hands-on assistance that helps organizations to evolve from legacy to modern cloud-native systems with confidence, reducing risk and optimizing performance. Supporting thousands of enterprise Java applications globally, Payara’s expert team offers round-the-clock technical guidance, consulting, and migration support.
Steve Millidge, Founder and CEO at Payara Services, comments: “We are delighted to see our work recognised by the prestigious Cloud Excellence Awards. These nominations attest to Payara’s commitment and success in helping enterprises overcome the complexity of deployment and cloud adoption with solutions that combine technical innovation with comprehensive, dedicated customer support.
