Payara Services Ltd
About Us Payaran, noun: Someone with drive & a passion for excellence, part of a world-class open source business. Our global team of “Payarans” are based in 13 countries across the world, speaking 15 languages. Our culturally and geographically diverse team means we can serve all global clients and cater to their needs irrespective of their location. Payara’s name goes back to our founding story! We looked up “Glassfish” and found it was a small, Indian fish common in tropical tanks. We wanted to demonstrate how in Payara Platform, GlassFish is emerging as more potent and more robust. So we looked for a fish to represent this, and the awesome Payara fish – a predatory fish found in tropical South America – fits the bill perfectly!
