ftServer 4500 Systems

Optimized for Flexibility and Agility

The Stratus^® ftServer^® 4500 system redefines scalability for departmental business processes that demand the highest levels of uptime. This mid-range server taps the power of Intel’s advanced quad-core processor technology and Intel QuickPath Architecture. The 4500 system is optimized for flexibility and provides an agile foundation for next-generation cloud computing and web services applications.

Powered by one or two 2GHz E5504 Intel Quad-Core Xeon processors to achieve high-performance processing power
Features the Intel QuickPath Architecture that provides point-to-point high-speed connections between microprocessors and external memory, and between microprocessors and the I/O hub that improves scaleability and eliminates contention between processors for bus bandwidth
New highly modular chassis design that supports industry-standard components provides an essential enterprise building block for mission-critical application solutions
Integrated virtual technician service management controller provides enhanced remote problem diagnosis, troubleshooting and resolution capabilities
Available in a 4U high rack ready model with hot-plugable internal disk drives and hot-swapable CPU-I/O enclosures provide for easy component replacement
No failover scripting, repeated test procedures, or extra effort to make your applications cluster-aware
Like other members of the ftServer family, comes complete with Continuous Processing features that eliminate operational complexity and high costs inherent in high availability approaches such as clusters

Keeping your applications running is the heart of what Stratus does — which is why we built support right into the center of all Stratus servers.

Layered over our unique system architecture is software that continuously monitors the status and health of your Stratus environment. Using a real-time connection to Stratus technicians, your system notifies us of the status of hundreds of critical conditions. In the event of a potential problem, your system self-heals, asks for remote analysis, or utilizes our architecture's fault-tolerant features to eliminate failing modules without skipping a beat.

No other support system on earth delivers the kind of uptime that Stratus does.
