  • Protected: Mitigates operational, financial and reputational risk by ensuring “always on” availability and securing data from cyber threats or data loss.
  • Autonomous: Reliable, rugged, proven zero-touch technology to run in any environment without human monitoring, maintenance, repairs, or support.

Key Features

  • Built-in virtualization host and availability layer
  • OT Manageability
  • Simplified security
  • Simplified system backup and restore
  • Industrial interoperability
  • Scalable system replication
  • Rugged hot-swappable nodes
  • Stratus Cloud
  • Automated data protection and local site recovery
  • Expanded VM management

ztC™ Advisor

ztC Advisor empowers business, operations, and IT leaders with a centralized systems management solution that offers at-a-glance health monitoring, software information, and status across their entire ztC Edge inventory. As automation continues to accelerate at the edge, remote systems management combined with zero-touch Edge Computing is an essential combination for business continuity and long-term success.

Key Benefits

  • Improved productivity: Efficiently manage your entire ztC Edge platform inventory.
  • Faster time to value: Gets started quickly, with minimal setup and training.
  • Risk mitigation: Triage issues faster, prevent them from becoming more serious problems.

Key Features

  • A comprehensive asset management overview of all ztC Edge platforms that you own, including systems that have been deployed but have not been provisioned. Holistically maximize resource utilization and optimize platform refresh schedules.
  • A centralized dashboard view of individual system status and resource utilization presented in real-time, so you can easily see platform status at-a-glance.
  • User-defined groups to assign individual systems and use the ztC Advisor dashboard’s built-in sorting and filtering functions to quickly access information from specific platforms.
  • Secure-push technology between ztC Advisor and ztC Edge. The web-based solution is architected so that ztC Edge platforms initiate sessions and periodically push information to ztC Advisor which minimizes cyber-security risk by limiting data transfer.
  • Integration with Stratus Service Portal and ztC Edge platforms, allowing customers with portal access to use their existing credentials to access ztC Advisor. One-click enablement from the ztC Edge Console automatically sets up the corresponding ztC Edge platform to be visible and present data through ztC Advisor, minimizing setup and configuration time.
  • Partner mode provides System Integrators and VARs, both Machine Builders and Solution Builders, with the ability to monitor and maintain ztC Edge platforms deployed for customers when enabled by end user permission.

Stratus ftServer

In today’s always-on global economy, seconds matter. Downtime in critical business applications can have far-reaching economic, security and legal consequences. Recovering from a failure, no matter how fast, is simply no longer an option. Nowhere is this more important than at the edge – the last mile of digital transformation for many. Companies are looking for reliable, secure, yet easy to manage edge computing infrastructure that’s highly interoperable with their data centers and cloud. Optimized for distributed edge-in architectures, Stratus ftServer delivers the performance needed to support your advanced processor and data intensive applications, while also providing the fault tolerance, security and manageability required at the edge of your corporate networks.

Key Benefits

  • No unplanned downtime: Ensure application availability despite component failures. Ride through transient errors and power spikes that would take down other x86 systems.
  • No data corruption or data loss: Ensure all transactions are processed. Protect the integrity of both committed and in-flight data.
  • Simplified deployment: Get instant continuous availability without having to modify your software applications or write failover scripts.
  • Simplified management: Save time and effort with self-monitoring hardware, automated parts replacement, and customer replaceable subsystems.
  • Lower total cost of ownership: Save up to 40% when you factor in acquisition, deployment, management, and unplanned downtime costs.

Key Features

  • Automated Uptime Layer: Patented lockstep processing ensures no transactions are lost. Multi-path I/O failover prevents data corruption or data loss.
  • Single system with fully duplexed hardware: Redundant components are presented as a single system – only one OS or application is required, saving licensing fees.
  • Versatile industry standard platform: Uses industry standard x86 processors, memory DIMMs, SSDs and HDDs. Supports standard shrink-wrapped OSs from Microsoft, Red Hat, and VMware.
  • Active service architecture: Self-monitoring and self-diagnosing systems simplify issue management. Automated online parts replacement eliminates guesswork, and systems continue to run while being serviced.
  • Hot-swappable customer replaceable units (CRU): Subsystems or components are designed to be easily replaced. CRUs are automatically re-synchronized when reinserted.

everRun

everRun simplifies the process of meeting your changing availability requirements. A highly versatile, yet affordable continuously available software solution, everRun combined with industry standard x86 systems quickly and easily protects your virtualized workloads and data. Use everRun to rapidly and cost effectively deliver the levels of continuous availability you need, when and where you need them.

Key Benefits

  • Customize your availability environment: Easily adjust the availability level of each VM to meet your changing requirements and SLAs.
  • Accelerate time to value: Quickly implement both highly available and continuously available platforms with no application modifications.
  • Protect your corporate data: Eliminate data corruption and data loss. Software-based checkpointing protects both replicated and in-flight data.
  • Ensure business continuity: Replicate applications and data at multiple metro area sites to protect against building-wide disaster.

Key Features

  • Software-based fault tolerance: Applications being processed in parallel continue to deliver services despite component failure.
  • Built-in virtualization: Integrated virtualization platform based on KVM supports a wide range of Windows and Linux guests.
  • Metro wide availability protection: Uses synchronous data replication with automatic resynching of disk drives and VM memory.
  • Comprehensive availability console: Set up, configure, and manage your entire environment, including external devices, from a single web-based interface.
  • Remote availability services: Automatically monitors your systems and alerts you of issues, so you don’t have to.
  • Increased security: Improved password management and enhanced IP tables.
  • Adjustable availability levels: Choose high availability (HA) or fault tolerant (FT) mode for each virtual machine. Run them simultaneously.
  • Industry standard hardware support: Runs on a wide variety of commodity-of-the-shelf, Intel-based x86 systems.
