I think this is the last of the meetings I had at Automation Fair last month. The team at Stratus discussed the ztC Endurance platform. Stratus is know for high availability, redundant server and compute technology. This new platform enables organizations to run critical applications without downtime or data loss, in edge or data center environments, using intelligent, predictive fault tolerance based on Stratus’ redundant hardware architecture, hardened drivers, and Stratus Automated Uptime Layer with Smart Exchange.
Both OT and IT teams face the challenge of delivering reliability to both centralized and distributed locations across their operations. They also may lack on-site technical staff needed to maintain complex infrastructure. Platforms running critical applications must be easy to deploy, easy to manage, and easy to service—and not just in data centers, but at the edge of corporate networks.
Stratus ztC Endurance provides continuous availability and ensures data integrity for mission-critical applications running at the edge, operations center, and data center. Delivering seven nines (99.99999%) uptime, its Automated Uptime Layer with Smart Exchange provides continual proactive health monitoring and automatically takes action to maintain system availability and protect against data loss when needed. Coupled with the platform’s modular design of hot-swappable customer replacement units (CRUs), ztC Endurance makes it easy for OT and IT teams to manage and support. ztC Endurance delivers the processing power and performance to host dozens of software applications as virtual machines (VMs), dramatically reducing the number of PCs or servers required for OT and IT teams to manage and maintain.
Key Benefits
- Seven nines availability for critical applications: Built-in computing fault tolerance delivers 99.99999% availability to run critical applications.
- No loss of data: Redundant computing architecture combined with intelligent automated management prevents in-flight data loss and ensures data integrity.
- “Zero touch” management and support: Modular design plus pro-active remote health monitoring and self-healing simplifies system management and serviceability for both IT and OT teams.
- Rapid modernization and workload consolidation: Modernize infrastructure and streamline operations by leveraging virtualization to consolidate multiple software workloads onto a single platform.
- Multi-layered security: Supports multi-layered defense-in-depth approaches, with focus on both process and product security guidelines to ensure maximum protection.
- Lower TCO: Reduce IT footprint and purchase fewer software licenses on a highly reliable platform with an expected 7-10 year lifespan, twice that of traditional servers.
