Stratus Shows Availability-critical Appliances for the Cloud at VMworld
Stratus Technologies will be demonstrating cloud and virtual
appliance solutions that support critical functions within these
infrastructures at
VMworld
,
the company announced today. Showcasing the just-announced line of
Stratus((R)) ftServer((R)) systems and latest version of Stratus((R))
Avance(TM) high-availability software with built-in virtualization,
these availability appliances will include:
- Microsoft SharePoint services
- Microsoft System Center management software
- VMware vCenter management software
"The cloud supports on-demand services for large numbers
of users, and its ability to do this rests with the availability of
operations-critical infrastructure management software," said Denny
Lane, Stratus director of product management. "These purpose-built
appliances use Stratus hardware, software and services to deliver the
availability and performance so essential to critical cloud operations."
Stratus will be assisted in its VMworld booth (#1526) by
Microsoft to demonstrate the cloud appliances, as well as Microsoft SQL
Server on Stratus ftServer systems. VMware will be on hand, as well, to
show VMware vSphere virtualization software on Stratus fault tolerant
servers.
The company's newest Nehalem-based ftServer line was
announced yesterday. Avance 1.6 software was launched two weeks earlier
on Aug. 10. Both products provide best-in-class availability in support
of business-critical and mission-critical business processing.
