How high-volume VOS applications can grow to new levels of performance and capacity

---

Stratus servers running the VOS operating system have long been valued for their ability to deliver industry-leading uptime. V Series servers are designed specifically for applications that are running up against performance or capacity limits. Offering up to eight times the performance of Continuum based VOS-based server hardware; V Series systems bring together the stability of the VOS operating system and the power of the Intel^® XeonTM Processor MP. Models include 1-way, 2-way, 2-way dual core and 4-way symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) servers.

V Series systems feature a modular redundancy hardware architecture engineered to provide greater than 99.999% uptime right out of the box. The new servers are designed for a range of high-volume applications, such as trading systems in financial services and point-of-sale (POS) debit and credit.

Taking advantage of the greater performance and capacity of V Series servers couldn't be simpler. You benefit from familiar VOS functionality that includes the availability protection you've come to rely on. Moving your mission-critical applications to V Series servers is easy and uncomplicated. Existing Continuum applications can be recompiled simply by using the cross-compilers available with VOS Release 14.7. Or call on Stratus Professional Services experts to assist with the migration. Existing V Series customers can upgrade to new and even more powerful systems without the need to re-compile their applications. Simply copy your applications to your new server, test and deploy.

After migrating, you'll find that ftServer V Series systems and applications will interoperate seamlessly with your installed PA-RISC^® servers running VOS. The same exceptional serviceability you are accustomed to — including server self-monitoring, the Stratus Remote Service Network (RSN), and Assured AvailabilitySM service coverage* — continues to defend against unplanned downtime around the clock.

Continuous Processing^® features

Like other Stratus systems, V Series servers use Continuous Processing^® technology to safeguard uptime without the operational complexity and added costs inherent in high-availability alternatives. Built-in fault tolerance eliminates the failover scripting, repeated testing, and application changes required with server clusters.

*Customers must have a Stratus Assured Availability Services Agreement in effect to receive coverage.
