Themis Announces its Quorum High Availability
Workload Management Appliance to Improve Service Reliability
and Increase Operational Agility
Solution tailored to help IT operations managers
remove complexity in their current processes by adopting a
policy-based application availability model
FREMONT, California -- March
22, 2007 --- Themis® Computer announced Quorum™,
an award winning High Availability (H/A) and Workload Management
Appliance. Quorum enables enterprises to keep applications
"always on" by delivering a simple to use appliance.
The Quorum appliance enables enterprises to easily integrate
policy-based automation.
Quorum is the industry's first policy-based High Availability
Appliance. Quorum can bring real-time high availability to
user applications at a significantly reduced cost when compared
to traditional high availability solutions. Sub-second response
times provide protection against software and hardware failures
without being in the data path. Quorum is based on the CIM/WBEM
open standard.
In today's increasingly challenging IT environment, application
and server sprawl is causing complexity and poor availability.
Quorum can be deployed in an N+1 configuration across all
platforms to ensure that availability can be scaled to meet
demand. Expensive H/A software needs to keep up with the industry.
Quorum can save users 50 percent or more when compared to
traditional H/A clusters.
Themis' Quorum Appliance is also a dynamic workload manager
and can automate the management of Service Level Agreements
(SLAs), applications and hardware resource in real-time, mission
critical distributed systems. Standards-based, Quorum supports
a wide variety of industry standard platforms including Sun®
Solaris™, Linux®, AIX, Microsoft® Windows®
and LynxOS® servers, as well as various network switches
and SMI-compliant SAN's and NAS devices.
"Themis' Quorum helps CIOs and IT managers drive down
total cost of ownership, for mission critical IT resources
and infrastructure. When Themis first started the development
of its Slice™ scalable computing initiative, it was painfully
clear that there were no real-time computing resource managers
that could automatically manage quality of service for legacy
applications," stated William E. Kehret, president of
Themis Computer. "We also realized the need to provide
standards driven API's for forward looking, enhanced application
monitoring and control. Quorum uniquely addresses this market
need and integrates well with other managers in a heterogeneous,
multi-vendor environment of software, servers, switches and
storage," Mr. Kehret added.
The Quorum High Availability and Workload Management Appliance
features include:
• Windows®, Linux®, Solaris™ and AIX®,
on a single interface.
• Application independent.
• Policy-based automation.
• Real-time (50-100 millisecond) response time.
• Manages virtual servers.
Themis Quorum High Availability Appliance provides the following
solution benefits:
• Service Availability - Quorum
can enable shared services to deliver scaleable, real-time,
heterogeneous high-availability. Shared services can standardize
on a single H/A platform for all systems and applications.
• Real-Time Business Continuity
- Quorum can add real-time to a user's business continuity
planning. Quorum is the industry's fastest failover (sub-second)
solution.
• Service Oriented Architectures (SOA)
- need to be monitored and automated in order to be truly
effective. Quorum brings real-time management and automation
to SOA applications. Quorum is the Service Oriented Infrastructure.
