Stratus ftServers

The most reliable servers anywhere. Right out of the box.
Achieving five nines or better uptime day after day, year after year, requires servers with uptime safeguards that are integral to their design. That’s the reason every aspect of the ftServer system — hardware, software, and service — works together to prevent unplanned downtime, not just minimize it. These Stratus innovations are the result of more than twenty-five years’ experience of assuring uptime for the world’s most demanding applications.
Lockstep technology
Lockstep technology uses replicated, fault-tolerant hardware components that process the same instructions at the same time. In the event of a component malfunction, the redundant component provides an active spare that continues normal operation and averts system downtime. The system also eliminates transient hardware errors that could cause software failures if left unchecked.
Failsafe software
Our failsafe software works in concert with lockstep technology to prevent many software errors from escalating into outages. Unlike typical servers or clusters, ftServer hardware and software handles such errors transparently, shielding the operating system, middleware, and application software. Even in-memory data is constantly protected and maintained.
ActiveService™ architecture
Our unique combination of ActiveService capabilities enables built-in serviceability that other vendors simply can’t match. For starters, Stratus ftServer systems constantly monitor their own operation. When a fault is detected, the server correctly isolates the condition and automatically opens a call that tells the Stratus support center exactly what action to take.
The Smarter Approach to Uptime™ Count on Stratus Continuous Processing technology for the most complete set of availability safeguards in the business.
