Non-stop server "ftServer(R)"

This seminar is an on-demand broadcast of the seminar held on June 9, 2022. In response to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic and the shortage of personnel on-site, the movement towards automation and labor-saving measures that do not rely on manual labor is accelerating in manufacturing and logistics environments. Digital transformation (DX) cannot wait! The key to success lies in visualizing production status using IIoT, utilizing AI for inspection and analysis, and automating logistics through automated warehouses and AGVs. Additionally, it is essential to ensure the stable operation of systems that serve as the foundation for data utilization. In this seminar, we will introduce points to consider for DX in manufacturing and logistics, steps for solving challenges, and solutions along with case studies of implementations. ★ Key points we want to convey in this seminar: ◎ Insights into solving challenges in manufacturing and logistics environments based on extensive system construction experience. ◎ The benefits of one-stop construction from equipment installation to infrastructure, wiring, IT/OT networks, and systems. ◎ What kind of edge environment is necessary for processing large amounts of data in real-time?

"Achieving up to 50% performance improvement, the ideal non-stop server for edge environments in industries, distribution, and financial services." Stratus Technologies has announced the next-generation non-stop edge server, Stratus ftServer. This model achieves up to a 50% performance improvement compared to its predecessor, offering optimized computing power and reliability for industrial sites and edge data center environments. ■ New features of the 11th generation ftServer - Support for the latest operating systems, significant security enhancements, and provision of support and patches. - NVMe SSD – Supports up to 1.6TB NVMe SSDs, enabling faster storage, making it ideal for high-performance applications such as real-time analytics and machine learning. - Intel Cascade Lake Intel Scalable Processors – Supports Intel's 2nd generation Xeon Scalable processors with a clock frequency of 2.2GHz and 10 to 36 CPU cores, catering to AI and IoT workloads.

This seminar is an on-demand broadcast of the seminar held on February 22, 2022. The environment surrounding Japan's manufacturing industry is changing significantly every day due to factors such as the COVID-19 pandemic, digitalization of factories, and a quantitative shortage of human resources. Many manufacturers share a common understanding of the need to address DX (Digital Transformation) and SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) and ensure business continuity. In this context, the Edgecross Consortium, an open edge platform, collaborates with its 380 member companies to solve challenges in manufacturing sites. In this seminar, we will introduce solutions that create new added value centered around edge computing, which bridges the manufacturing site and IT, based on the rich knowledge possessed by the Edgecross Consortium regarding various challenges in the manufacturing industry. ◆ Program 14:00 - 14:05 Opening Remarks 14:05 - 14:25 Overview of Edgecross and Approaches to Solving Challenges in Manufacturing 14:25 - 14:45 DX for the Food Manufacturing Industry Aimed at by Edgecross 14:45 - 15:05 Discussion Session 15:05 - Edge Computing that Supports the Utilization of On-Site Data Without Stopping

~ A medical business system that does not stop operations strongly supports high-quality healthcare and operational efficiency ~ We are pleased to announce that the Stratus ftServer, a non-stop server that achieves continuous availability 24/7, has been adopted for a new medical business system at "Migita Hospital," a designated secondary emergency medical institution in Tokyo and one of the key medical institutions in Hachioji City during the COVID-19 pandemic. Since its operational launch in July 2020, it has continued to operate stably. At Migita Hospital, the high-end model of "ftServer," the "ftServer 6900," along with fault-tolerant storage "ftScalable," has been adopted as the foundation of the new medical system accompanying the relocation and expansion of the health check-up department "Migita Clinic." A total of five business systems, including the health check-up system, re-visit reception/consultation display server, and business file server, are operated on virtual servers. The new medical system seamlessly integrates with Migita Hospital's existing systems, achieving centralized management of medical information.
