TidalScale, the company leading the Software-Defined Server revolution, announced availability of its fourth generation Software-Defined Server technology.
TidalScale Software-Defined Server technology now includes TidalGuardTM technology, which dramatically improves overall system reliability, availability, and serviceability.
TidalGuard™ allows for detection and avoidance of over 90% of hardware-related failures before they become fatal via hot-swapping of failing hardware.
If a server failure occurs, TidalGuard™ enables systems to be restarted in minutes, 10X or more faster than traditional computing.
TidalGuard™ allows most maintenance including security updates to be performed with ZERO downtime.
In effect, TidalGuard™ adds two 9’s to overall system uptime.
Enterprise customers need their mission-critical applications to run with minimal system downtime, whether they are hosted on-premises or in the cloud. This is becoming increasingly difficult as server reliability is dropping dramatically as highlighted in the New York Times article, “Tiny Chips, Big Headaches.” With the fourth generation of TidalScale software-defined servers with built-in patented TidalGuard™ technology, customers and partners, including IBM Cloud and Lenovo, can now effectively add two 9’s to their overall system uptime. TidalGuard™ monitors the health of physical servers underlying a software-defined server and allows them to be hot-swapped prior to a system failure. TidalGuard™ also allows physical servers to be taken offline for regular software and security updates. In either case, applications continue to perform and require ZERO downtime. The result is dramatic improvement in overall system reliability, availability, and serviceability.

“We are excited about the release of our fourth generation Software-Defined Server technology. The release marks a major milestone in our long-term vision of a Software-Defined Server technology that is not only self-optimizing but also self-healing and self-sizing. TidalGuard™, our new self-healing technology, is now available to our customers. We are very pleased with the incredibly positive response the technology has received from customers as well as from the press including the New York Times, which called out TidalScale as a solution to the growing hardware reliability problems in the industry.”
