Certain applications, like those that power payment processing, trading, and reservation systems, can place unusually high demands on IT infrastructure. It’s not enough to be available 24x7x365. It also need to process thousands of transactions per second, support thousands of concurrent users, and respond within milliseconds. General purpose hardware, with general purpose operating systems, are generally insufficient to support these types of extreme requirements.
Stratus systems are more than capable. Stratus ftServer V Series is specifically engineered for your most demanding mission-critical TPS (transaction processing systems) workloads. Purpose-built hardware with highly tuned OpenVOS operating system software provide unmatched availability, and deliver the scalability and performance required for high-volume transaction processing.
Key benefits
Meet your mission-critical performance and availability SLAs:
No unplanned downtime:
Ensure application availability, even when hardware components fail
No data loss:
Process every single transaction. Protect the integrity of both committed and in-flight data
Rapid and consistent response:
Achieve consistently fast performance across varying system utilization levels
Simplified management and service:
Save time and effort with automated monitoring, issue diagnosis, and parts ordering of customer replaceable units
Key features
Supports high-volume transaction processing applications which require continuous availability:
Lockstepped system with fully redundant hardware:
Proprietary hardware and software enable fully redundant subsystems, which run in parallel to avoid performance degradation in the event of hardware failure
OpenVOS operating system:
POSIX compliant fault-tolerant architecture specifically designed for rapid, high-volume transaction processing, maximizes availability and performance
Active service architecture:
Self-monitoring and self-diagnosing solution automatically initiates the next day delivery of correct repair parts
Hot swappable customer replaceable units (CRUs):
Subsystems that are designed to be replaced by IT generalists are automatically resynchronized when reinserted
Secure kernel:
Proprietary, closed source kernel manages access to file system objects on a per-user basis
