Aeris.net Chooses Resilience Continuous Availablity Servers for Mission-critical Wireless Messaging Services.Business Editors/High Tech Writers PALO ALTO Palo Alto, city, California Palo Alto (păl`ō ăl`tō), city (1990 pop. 55,900), Santa Clara co., W Calif.; inc. 1894. Although primarily residential, Palo Alto has aerospace, electronics, and advanced research industries. , Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 14, 2000 Resilience delivers fault-tolerant servers for wireless monitoring devices in security, utility, transportation, and telecommunications industries Resilience Corporation, the continuous availability server company, today confirmed that Aeris.net, the leading provider of web-to-wireless, machine-to-machine communications, expanded its deployment of Resilient(tm) continuous availability servers to provide hardware fault-tolerant notification and billing services for its MicroBurst mi·cro·burst n.

Microbursts are difficult to detect and predict with standard weather instruments and are especially hazardous to airplanes during landing or takeoff. wireless messaging network. Aeris.net customers utilize MicroBurst service to cost-effectively monitor and control machines throughout North America North America, third largest continent (1990 est. pop. 365,000,000), c.9,400,000 sq mi (24,346,000 sq km), the northern of the two continents of the Western Hemisphere. for alarm and security monitoring, vehicle and mobile asset tracking, utility metering and a host of emerging fixed and mobile telemetry telemetry Highly automated communications process by which data are collected from instruments located at remote or inaccessible points and transmitted to receiving equipment for measurement, monitoring, display, and recording. applications. "Our mission is to provide the most reliable network for our customers," commented Syed Zaeem Hosain, Chief Technology Officer at Aeris.net. "We selected Resilient servers because they provide a robust solution for eliminating single points of failure to our service, which is critical to our customers, especially in the Alarm and Security and Asset Tracking markets." Data packets are captured from MicroBurst devices and routed to the Aeris.net central hub facility. The data is then transferred to the Resilient servers where it is immediately forwarded to Aeris.net customers via the Internet, telephone, e-mail or pager. MicroBurst service delivers exceptionally fast and reliable data so Aeris.net customers can respond immediately to an alert or alarm. In addition, Resilient servers track the airtime and billing for the MicroBurst wireless transmissions in an Oracle database. Continuous availability means that all billing data is immediately captured and tracked real time, eliminating any risk of revenue loss due to lost data or transaction information. "People's safety and business assets depend on these real-time applications. For situations where any loss of data or transaction information is simply unacceptable, Resilient servers are the ideal solution," said Denny Olmsted, President and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization.

"We are delighted to be working with Aeris.net to deliver these leading-edge wireless services." Resilient Continuous Availability Servers are designed to provide 99.999% hardware availability. Applications that run on a Resilient server continue to run with no downtime or data loss in the event of any hardware failure. This makes them ideal for critical application areas such as firewalls, real time data collection, license servers, database and critical communications and monitoring functions. "We researched High Availability Also called "RAS" (reliability, availability, serviceability) or "fault resilient," it refers to a multiprocessing system that can quickly recover from a failure. There may be a minute or two of downtime while one system switches over to another, but processing will continue. software-based solutions extensively and found they were too complicated, expensive, and would require too many resources." explained Cary Hsia, Director of Software Engineering at Aeris.net, "Resilience was more cost-effective than HA and provided a true hardware fault-tolerant solution that is a "no-fuss" product -it's easy to deploy, requires no ongoing administration, and it's Solaris-based. These were all important factors in making our decision."
