The Smarter Approach to Uptime™

Stratus Continuous Processing technology offers you the most complete set of availability safeguards in the business.
Like other members of the industry-standard ftServer line, the ftServer T Series comes complete with Stratus Continuous Processing features that eliminate operational complexity and high costs inherent in high-availability approaches such as clusters. Your enterprise gains superior uptime protection without having to modify Linux® applications — and without the need for failover scripting, repeated test procedures, or extra effort and costs to make applications cluster-aware.

Lockstep technology.

Replicated, fault-tolerant hardware components process the same instructions at the same time. In the event of a component malfunction, the partner component is an active spare that continues normal operation. There is no system downtime and no data loss. Stratus Technologies fault-tolerant server system software enables the Red Hat® Enterprise Linux® operating system to run unmodified on the industry’s first fault-tolerant Linux platform.

Failsafe software.

Our failsafe software works in concert with lockstep technology to prevent many software errors. Other software issues are captured, analyzed, and reported to Stratus. This allows support personnel to take a proactive approach to correcting software problems before they recur. Even in-memory data is constantly protected and maintained. Stratus’ hardened device drivers add yet another level of reliability to the Linux environment on ftServer systems.

ActiveService™ architecture.

Component replacement takes place while the system continues normal operations. Hot-swappable components allow users to accomplish the task themselves.
Stratus ftServer systems constantly monitor their own operation. Remote support capabilities — made possible by the system’s ftServer dial-up or ethernet adapter and our global ActiveService Network — enable our service engineers to diagnose, troubleshoot, and resolve problems online more than 95% of the time. If necessary, the system automatically orders its own hot-swappable replacement part.
