Stratus ztC Edge
Features
Built in virtualization
ztC Edge ships with its own operating environment called Stratus Redundant Linux. It contains a virtualization host that supports both Windows, Linux guest operating systems, OVF files, OVA images, including third party templates. An intuitive management console makes it easy for local and remote staff to set up, configure, import and manage their virtual machines.

Simplified security
ztC Edge is designed to help OT more easily secure their edge computing environment. A host-based firewall, restricted USB ports, role-based access controls with Active Directory integration, secure communications protocols and trusted boot, all work together to minimize your security exposure.

Industrial interoperability
ztC Edge supports common OT and IT protocols, making integration into existing industrial automation environments easier. SNMP requests and traps can be used to configure notifications and alarms. Customers can use OPC UA attributes, or a REST API, to present relevant system data within most third party systems management tools and dashboards.

OT manageability
ztC Edge ships with its own tool, the ztC Edge Console, that simplifies system and software management. With it, administrators can remotely access their systems, set thresholds and alerts, check for updates, backup and restore system settings and preferences, and easily manage their VMs.

Class I Division 2 Certification
Designed for the harsh conditions typically found in industrial locations, ztC Edge nodes can be deployed in the control room, control panel, or on the shop floor, closer to your devices that are generating data. More durable than standard servers or workstations, ztC Edge offers customers greater reliability and deployment flexibility.

Automated protection
When deployed as a redundant pair, ztC Edge provides instant protection for your workloads. Data is automatically replicated across nodes. VMs running on one node will automatically restart (High Availability mode) or resume (Fault Tolerant mode) on the other in the event of a failure.
If ztC Edge detects a networking or disk failure on one node, it automatically re-routes traffic or uses data on the other node, without any operator intervention. Nodes can even be deployed across physical distances, for automated local site recovery.

Field serviceability
When deployed as a redundant pair, ztC Edge nodes are hot-swappable and auto-synchronizing, making field repairs quick and easy. Maintenance or repairs on individual nodes can be done to a running system (without a system reboot) to help ensure service continuity.
This allows system repair to be planned and completed when its convenient for OT or IT staff.
