Technology(TM), the world's leading independent provider of enabling communications technology Noun 1. communications technology - the activity of designing and constructing and maintaining communication systems engineering, technology - the practical application of science to commerce or industry , established through the combination of Excel Switching Corporation and Brooktrout Technology(R), announced today a technology partnership with Stratus Technologies Stratus Technologies is a Maynard, Massachusetts based producer of fault tolerant computers. Stratus Technologies is a 1999 spinoff of Stratus Computer founded in 1980. . This partnership has resulted in the seamless integration An addition of a new application, routine or device that works smoothly with the existing system. It implies that the new feature or program can be installed and used without problems. Contrast with "transparent," which implies that there is no discernible change after installation. of Cantata's SnowShore IP Media Server(TM) with the Linux-based Stratus(R) ftServer 30(R) CO system. This NEBS(TM) Level 3-certified server provides affordable fault tolerance See fault tolerant. (architecture) fault tolerance - 1. The ability of a system or component to continue normal operation despite the presence of hardware or software faults. This often involves some degree of redundancy. 2. for a broad range of telecommunications applications in mobile, landline, circuit, packet, and converged networks. The powerful combination offers customers unprecedented reliability and continuous availability of mission critical applications in next generation, pre-IMS or IMS (1) See IP Multimedia Subsystem. (2) (Information Management System) An early IBM hierarchical DBMS for IBM mainframes. IMS was widely implemented throughout the 1970s under MVS and continues to be used under z/OS. architectures. "Stratus is world-renown for the 'zero downtime' of its products," said Greg Pisano, director of market development for carrier enhanced services, Cantata Technology. "By deploying the SnowShore IP Media Server on the T30 platform, service providers can attain unprecedented reliability for their IMS and pre-IMS media services." Cantata's SnowShore IP Media Server is the industry's premier software-based, carrier-grade IP media server that leverages the simplicity, openness, and flexibility of SIP, VoiceXML, and MSCML MSCML Media Server Control Markup Language . It provides a cost-effective and scalable IP media server solution, powering a broad range of voice and video services that is now available on the Stratus ftServer T30. The Stratus ftServer T30, a mid-range server designed for computing environments built around the RedHat(R) Enterprise Linux(R) operating system operating system (OS) Software that controls the operation of a computer, directs the input and output of data, keeps track of files, and controls the processing of computer programs. , is the perfect choice for space-constrained data centers, remote offices, and lights-out settings where business continuity is essential. In addition, the hardware fault-tolerant design This article is about general fault-tolerant design theory. For specific implementations, see fault-tolerant system. Fault-tolerant design refers to a method for designing a system so it will continue to operate, possibly at a reduced level (also known as graceful degradation), of the T30 platform results in zero failover time and no loss of information in the event of a component or subsystem malfunction. "With the Stratus ftServer T30 platform, carriers demanding continuous service availability can now deploy new, rich multimedia services utilizing the SnowShore IP Media Server with access to Cantata's deep, worldwide developer base for a multitude of converged telecommunications services," said Ali Kafel, Stratus vice president, telecommunications. In addition, the fault-tolerant design of the T30 platform results in no loss of information on switch-over or switch-back of redundant elements.
