Latest release of Stratus’ Linux-based fault tolerance, virtualisation software increases edge infrastructure capabilities
Summary
“The latest release by Stratus of its continuous availability software with built-in virtualisation is key for us to continue running a Linux environment while also gaining higher performance and security, enabling multiple virtual machine modes and allowing users to have more capabilities in different scenarios,” said Wei Zhang, Industrial Computing Product Manager, Shanghai Hi-Tech Control System Co. “Additionally, the open RESTful API interface can be integrated with more IT and OT systems to facilitate monitoring and maintenance by OT field personnel. SRL 3.0 and everRun 8.0 simplify edge manageability, improve security and increase performance up to 30% over previous versions, allowing users to run multiple mission-critical applications without downtime or data loss. “Being able to do so in open environments that simplify management and reduce IT dependencies is paramount to creating more agile and resilient business.” Stratus Redundant Linux is ztC Edge’s operating system (OS) that delivers both built-in virtualisation and out-of-the-box high availability and fault tolerance. This capability enables IT teams to prevent the spread of malware by setting up a single, non-redundant VM for threat scanning and one-way traffic monitoring. Stratus’ everRun software brings fault tolerance to heterogeneous IT infrastructure in an open, standards-based Linux environment, ensuring applications continue to run without interruption or data loss.
