Stratus everRun (1)

Most enterprises today run a variety of mixed workloads, with different levels of business criticality. Smarter organizations are sizing and designing their IT infrastructure to match the availability requirements of their applications, and paying for just what they need. Fault-tolerant systems for those applications that must run 24x7x365. Highly available systems where up to 4 hours of downtime might be acceptable.

everRun simplifies the process of meeting your changing availability requirements. A highly versatile, yet affordable continuously available software solution, everRun combined with industry standard x86 systems quickly and easily protects your virtualized workloads and data. Use everRun to rapidly and cost effectively deliver the levels of continuous availability you need, when and where you need them.

The term “availability” is a characterization of how reliably a computing system can function and perform the tasks it was designed to run. It is measured as a percentage of time within a given time span (for instance, a year) that your applications are operational and accessible to users. But not all availability is created equally.

Key Benefits

    Proactive risk avoidance with constant replication to prevent downtime

    Protection against localized power failures, building-wide problems or physical machines failures

    Satisfied business requirements and optimized resource utilization

    Continuous application availability without configuration complexity

    Low TCO through industry-standard infrastructure and flexible storage options

    Downtime eliminated with the added benefit of virtualization

    What exactly is “availability”?

    What exactly is 
    “availability”?

    • Backups and restores: Basic backup, data-replication, and failover solutions and procedures are in place to recover services in the event of a failure or disaster. These solutions do not prevent downtime but focus on recoverability which translates into 99% to 99.9% availability. Being down from 8 hours to 4 days can cost from $2M to $23M
    • High availability: Typically implemented through clustering, these solution applications are accessible a very high percentage of the time. Users perceive little or no perceived interruption if there is a failure and high availability translates into 99.95% to 99.99% availability. Being down from 1 to 4 hours can cost $230K to $1M.
    • Continuous availability: Even if there were to be a failure, application operations are not interrupted. Downtime is eliminated and data is not lost in the event of a failure or localized disaster. These solutions focus on preventing downtime which translates into 99.999% availability. Being down 5 minutes or less, limits your risk to $23K.

    Stratus EverRun Features

    Innovative software technologies deliver advanced versatility and functionality.

    Adjustable availability levels

    Choose high availability (HA) or fault tolerant (FT) mode for each virtual machine. Run them simultaneously.

    Industry standard hardware support

    Runs on a wide variety of commodity-of-the-shelf, Intel-based x86 systems.

    Software-based fault tolerance

    Applications being processed in parallel continue to deliver services despite component failure.

    Built-in virtualization

    Integrated virtualization platform based on KVM supports a wide range of Windows and Linux guests.

    Metro wide availability protection

    Uses synchronous data replication with automatic resynching of disk drives and VM memory.

    Comprehensive availability console

    Set up, configure, and manage your entire environment, including external devices, from a single web-based interface.

    Remote availability services

    Automatically monitors your systems and alerts you of issues, so you don’t have to.

    Increased security

    Improved password management and enhanced IP tables.

    Achieve continuous application
    availability with everRun

    Stratus everRun simplifies the process of making applications available—not just some of the time, but all of the time. everRun’s software based solution links two servers together via a virtualization platform that pairs protected virtual machines to create a single operating environment. The entire application environment, including data in memory, is replicated by everRun, ensuring applications continue to run without interruption or data loss. If one physical machine should fail, the application continues to run on the other physical machine without any interruptions or data loss. If a hardware component fails, everRun substitutes the healthy component from the second system until the failed component is repaired or replaced.
