NovaScale R620 User Guide
The NovaScale/ft Server series achieves fault-tolerant high-availability in a space-saving form factor by incorporating
redundant hardware module pairs in a single chassis. These modules work in synchronous tight lockstep while
constantly making comparisons with each other and detecting anomalous diversions in operation.
NovaScale/ft Server series is a highly fault-tolerant Windows server that achieves continuous computing operations,
data storage mirror, and continuous network connection. It allows you to run Windows Server 2003-based applications.
NovaScale/ft Server series achieves continuous computing operations for the Windows server and server-based
applications with its redundant CPU processing and redundant memory. It assures data redundancy through duplication
of server data on an independent storage system. These features eliminate server downtime that is usually caused by
network disconnection or trouble with the I/O controller, Ethernet adapter or disk drive, and support operation of the
network and server applications continuously. While being transparent to application software, NovaScale/ft Server
series achieves high fault-tolerance.
NovaScale/ft Server series detects status changes, errors and other events and notifies the Windows Event Log of these
events. If you use an alarm notification tool, you can configure NovaScale/ft Server series to notify you when certain
events occur.
ESMPRO is installed on the system as a server management solution. ESMPRO, a GUI-based management tool, allows
you to monitor, view, and configure NovaScale/ft Server series. This tool also supports both local and remote
management of NovaScale/ft Server series.
