Always On Services
Kabira Extreme Transaction Platform™ offers, for the first time, carrier-class Five 9s availability on low-cost open systems. Delivering reliability previously available only on proprietary IBM, HP Non-Stop and Stratus systems, Kabira's High Availability supports high-volume services in an always-on environment in which failures are transparent to the user. Enterprises relying on Kabira Extreme Transaction Platform can guarantee their customers uninterrupted workflows, zero lost transactions and no degradations in performance.
As part of the Kabira Transaction Platform, Kabira High Availability provides plug-and-play integration. A system-level software enhancement, it delivers application-level high availability in a hardware-independent, agile software platform. In this way, it supports true fault tolerance without the complexities of high availability software or the constraints of proprietary hardware. This unique approach provides:
- In-memory 64-bit addressable memory containing application data.
- Real-time execution logic using an MDA approach.
- Connectivity through adapters and channels.
- Data execution in the context of ACID atomic transactions.
- High-availability oriented around business requirements, not data.
These capabilities make Kabira Extreme Transaction Platform ideal for mainframe-oriented enterprises that are making the transition from SNA to IP in order to support emerging business models in telecommunications, financial services and e-business. Kabira Extreme Transaction Platform supports all three stages of the necessary system upgrades needed to handle rising demand for bandwidth, fault-tolerance, availability and new technologies such as voice, video, and wireless.
- IP network infrastructure
- Data center infrastructure upgrade (multiprocessor, multisite and storage)
- Transformation of endpoints and edge processing (including wireless and IP telephony)
Existing Kabira customers can use our high availability product to immediately add always-on capability to existing deployments while retaining competitive advantages such as superior performance, scalability and agility. Organizations running legacy mainframe systems can leverage Kabira Extreme Transaction Platform to scale up by migrating to lower-cost open systems platforms without sacrificing reliability. Kabira Extreme Transaction Platform will also allow scale out customers building blade server farms to achieve higher levels of reliability than possible using complex, disk-intensive clustered servers.
