With unique fault-tolerant hardware design, Stratus ftServer integrates fully replicated hardware components that eliminate virtually any single point of failure and safeguard data integrity. The server automatically manages its replicated components, executing all processing in lockstep.

Because replicated components perform the same instructions at the same time, there is zero interruption in processing, zero loss of performance, and zero loss of data integrity even if a component fails. This means that, unlike a high-availability cluster, the platform continues to function while any issue is being resolved.

Stratus ftServer architecture uses industry-standard technology and commodity components, making the servers cost-effective to manufacture and easy to upgrade as enhanced and improved components are brought to market.

Simple and Easy to

Deploy, Manage, & Service

In an always-on global economy, enterprises require failure prevention—not failure recovery. Companies are looking for reliable, secure, yet easy to manage edge computing infrastructure that’s highly interoperable with their data centers and cloud.

Optimized for distributed edge-in architectures, Stratus ftServer delivers the performance needed to support your advanced processor and data intensive applications, while also providing the fault tolerance, security, and manageability required at the edge of your corporate networks.

Built-in fault tolerance delivers greater than five nines (99.999%) availability to run critical applications.

Redundant computing architecture protects in-flight data in the event of component failure ensuring data integrity.

Pro-active health monitoring and self-healing saves time and enables management by OT or IT.

Deploy virtualization to consolidate multiple software workloads onto a single platform and run advanced software.

Platform delivers 7-10 year lifespan, twice that of traditional servers, reduces IT footprint, and requires fewer software licenses.

Stratus ftServer Key Features

Stratus ftServer’s unique combination of Stratus IP and industry standard components delivers dramatically simplified continuous availability. Using Stratus ftServer, organizations are able to rapidly modernize IT infrastructure to maximize reliability, simplify manageability, and increase efficiency with minimal risk. ‍ Choose from four different models: 2920, 4920, 6910, and 6920; and, three different operating environments: Microsoft Windows Server, VMware vSphere, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux. These models meet most every enterprise workload requirement, remote or corporate environment, and budgetary need.

Patented lockstep processing ensures no transactions are lost. Multi-path I/O failover prevents data corruption or data loss.

Uses industry standard x86 processors, memory DIMMs, SSDs and HDDs. Supports standard shrink-wrapped OSs from Microsoft, Red Hat, and VMware.

Hot-swappable components are designed to be easily replaced. Customer replaceable units (CRUs) are automatically re-synchronized when reinserted.

Redundant components are presented as a single system – only one OS or application is required, saving licensing fees.

Self-monitoring and self-diagnosing systems simplify issue management. Automated online parts replacement eliminates guesswork, and systems continue to run while being serviced.
