NovaScale R620 User Guide
NovaScale/ft Server series mainly provides the following advantages:
Highly fault-tolerant processing and I/O subsystems
NovaScale/ft Server series use redundant hardware and software to assure server operation even if one
module suffers trouble with its processor, memory, I/O (including trouble related to the I/O controller), disk
drive, or Ethernet adapter.
Continuous network connection
NovaScale/ft Server series maintains continuous network connection by detecting any trouble with the
network adapter, connection, etc. If trouble occurs, the standby network connection will take over all network
traffic processing and thus securely maintain the network system connection of NovaScale/ft Server series
without losing network traffic or client connection.
Support of multiple network connections
Since NovaScale/ft Server series can support multiple Ethernet connections, you can add network redundant
control or network traffic control.
Industry standard hardware platform
NovaScale/ft Server series uses IA (Intel Architecture)-based system hardware.
No need to modify applications
You can run Windows Server 2003-compliant applications on NovaScale/ft Server series. Thus, unlike other
highly fault-tolerant products, special API or scripts are not necessary.
Automatic mirroring
NovaScale/ft Server series automatically maintains data as the current data.
Automatic detection and notification of faults
NovaScale/ft Server series detects and sorts out all events such as general status changes and faults, and
notifies Windows Event Log of these events.
Transparent migration
NovaScale/ft Server series constantly monitors events. If trouble occurs on NovaScale/ft Server series’ server
module, it will transparently use a redundant module of the failed module. This feature maintains data and
user access without losing application service.
Automatic reconfiguration
When the failed module restarts after the trouble is corrected, NovaScale/ft Server series will perform
reconfiguration automatically, and if necessary, resynchronize the affected modules. Reconfiguration can
include CPU processing (e.g., CPU memory), server's operating system (and related applications), and system
data stored on the hard disks. In most cases, NovaScale/ft Server series automatically restores redundancy of
the server modules after recovery.
Local and remote management
NovaScale/ft Server series uses ESMPRO as a server management tool. This tool uses a GUI that enables
monitoring and setting of NovaScale/ft Server series. ESMPRO can be used both locally and remotely on
work station PCs or server PCs.
Event notification function
When trouble or other events are detected on NovaScale/ft Server series, they will be notified to Windows
Event Log and saved. Therefore, you can view the log items locally or remotely by a usual Windows
procedure. Since an NovaScale/ft Server series events use unique IDs, they are easy to distinguish.
In-service repairing
You can repair or replace a failed module even if NovaScale/ft Server series is operating.
