Stratus delivers fault-tolerant Red Hat Enterprise Linux^"® for enterprise and telecommunications solutions

The Stratus^® ftServer family brings 99.999-plus percent availability to the Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating system. Stratus enhances the standard Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating system environment with unique failsafe software features, but does not modify the base Linux operating system or compromise compatibility in any way - the fault tolerant technology resides in the Stratus system software and in Stratus-designed chipsets. Virtually any application for the Linux operating environment will run unchanged on a supported Stratus fault-tolerant server.

"The Stratus ftServer family has proven itself in the field supporting standard, un-modified applications and enabling them to consistently perform at better than 99.999% uptime reliability for the server and OS together. For customers who prefer, need, demand, or cannot live without continuous application availability, this is a big deal."
