“Stratus’ new ztC Endurance platform is the culmination of
Stratus’ 42 years of innovation in fault tolerance – it raises the
bar for system availability for our customers across every
industry,” said Dave Laurello, president of Intelligent Platform
Solutions, SGH. “Our new family of compute platforms continues our
unmatched availability and ease-of-use with 99.99999% availability,
a modernized system architecture, and the performance to support
our customers’ growth. With the ztC Endurance platform, we’re
delivering a new technology curve for reliability that will empower
organizations on their digital journeys well into the future.”
“The ztC Endurance platform is the result of years of planning,
development, and testing,” said Dara Ambrose, vice president of
products and solutions for Intelligent Platform Solutions, SGH.
“The platform design is based on the analysis of more than 100
million hours of computing runtime across thousands of customers.
With this new ztC Endurance platform, we’ve delivered a fault
tolerant solution that eliminates compromises in performance, cost,
serviceability, and manageability when deploying and maintaining
application availability.”
In today’s digital-first, data-driven world, OT and IT teams
require solutions that meet both teams’ efforts to enhance
operational efficiency, improve system security, and ultimately
drive business growth. OT leaders are investing in automation to
manage complex processes, while IT leaders are seeking modern
technology that is easily serviceable and cost-efficient. OT and IT
teams demand reliable and secure solutions designed for today as
well as tomorrow. Industry research forecasts that Edge IT
workloads will grow up to 28% through 2026 as a result of this
market demand.
Stratus ztC Endurance Benefits
Stratus’ ztC Endurance portfolio furthers Stratus’ proven
approach for eliminating system downtime and data loss (including
in-flight data) through built-in fault tolerance that is
transparent to standard operating systems and hosted applications.
It does not require additional scripting or modification, and
provides proactive health monitoring. This powerful combination
enables OT and IT teams to run mission-critical applications and
complex software stacks without needing to be server experts.
The new Stratus ztC Endurance platforms deliver innovation in
five key areas of performance, including:
- Predictive – The ztC Endurance platform introduces
intelligent, predictive fault tolerance through the Stratus
Automated Uptime Layer with Smart Exchange™ process which tracks
and targets a wider range of failure points than other standalone
hyperconverged solutions and automatically takes corrective actions
to address and resolve issues before they impact operations.
- Protected – The platform ensures data integrity and
protects against loss of in-flight application data with 99.99999%
application system availability and embedded hardware and software
security features, along with the ability to run third-party
cybersecurity applications to protect IT and OT assets.
- Manageable – As an open system, the platform simplifies
manageability with remote monitoring capabilities and management
APIs that are interoperable with existing IT tools and systems
familiar to IT teams. Additionally, the ztC Endurance platform and
its fault tolerant architecture support standard, off-the-shelf
operating systems without requiring modifications.
- Serviceable – ztC Endurance architecture is redundant,
modular, and features four pairs of customer replaceable units
(CRUs) – compute, I/O, power supply unit, and storage – that are
hot-swappable by OT or IT without specialized expertise or tools to
continuously deliver uptime and efficient operation.
- Performance – This release incorporates the latest
technology, notably 4th generation Intel Xeon Scalable “Sapphire
Rapids” processors, high speed NVMe, and resilient,
high-performance DDR5 memory. This results in new levels of
performance matched with fault tolerance required to consolidate
mission-critical applications as well as run complex software
stacks and advanced applications.
