Fault-tolerant systems supplier Stratus will launch a Linux-based offering aimed at the Voice-over-IP (VoIP) market later this month. The ftServer T Series is based on Intel Xeon processors and Stratus’ own fault-tolerant version of Linux.
As with its other systems, the company is guaranteeing better than 99.999 per cent uptime. The T Series marks the return of Stratus to the telecoms market that it quit four years ago. David Laurello, president and chief executive at Stratus, believes that the VoIP market has great growth potential for suppliers of fault-tolerant systems. “These networks have one definite requirement: they have to be 24/7. They have to work. We talk about mission critical but this is career critical,” he said.
