Speed Time To Market. Reduce Costs. Focus On Differentiation.

So, what’s the upshot, you might be asking. In short, it’s a competitive advantage. The industry leading and only proven comprehensive HA and systems management solution, helps you take advantage of the latest technology in a cost-efficient and timely way. Here’s how…  

• Ensure availability requirements are met every time
  • SelfReliant software sits in the middle of a system, monitoring and managing redundant hardware and software system resources to ensure 99.999% or better availability. Millisecond, stateful failover, checkpointing to preserve application data, and more than 40,000 distributed messages per second reflect SelfReliant’s high performance. Real-time capture, storage and replication of system and/or application data assure continuous, uninterrupted service.
• Be first to market by significantly shortening the time it takes to build and deploy highly available systems
  • Getting to market quickly can significantly improve the revenue potential for your mission critical system or application. Project delays can of course have the opposite effect. Because SelfReliant is based on Service Availability Forum SA Forum) open standards, such as the Hardware Platform Interface (HPI) and the Application Interface Specification (AIS), using other standards-based hardware, operating systems and middleware will allow you to significantly shorten development time to build an application ready platform. This approach will also help ensure portability of existing applications, offering drastic time-to-revenue benefits.
• Reduce development costs by leveraging open standards-based, commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) technology
  • SelfReliant’s functional breadth means that the economics of the make versus buy selection favor a “buy” decision. ROI studies show that using SelfReliant can save customers 33% or more compared to the cost of developing the same capability in-house. Not only that, but because SelfReliant is based on open standards that enable you to re-use already developed applications, significant cost savings can be achieved long-term.
• React more quickly and more cost-efficiently to technology and platform changes
  • With the advancement of compelling new platforms such as ATCA, BladeCenter and now MicroTCA, equipment manufacturers are faced with the challenge of porting existing applications to this new hardware. This is a costly undertaking.   Because SelfReliant is based on open standards and supports leading operating system, CPU and hardware platforms, your applications are insulated from underlying hardware and operating system changes. This helps you maximize your investment by making sure you can make changes to your system without losing
    previous investments.
• Reduce project risk by building on the leading and only proven platform that provides pre-tested, pre-integrated hardware and software
  • Using any new, unproven code adds risk to your development project. SelfReliant not only provides you with comprehensive HA functionality that has been put to the test time and time again, but it also significantly reduces project risk by delivering an application ready platform. SelfReliant has been pre-tested and pre-integrated on a number of leading hardware, middleware and third-party components. Through GoAhead’s support for industry standards such as the SA Forum’s HPI and AIS, you can pick and choose open standards-based solutions to create an application ready platform based on already validated and integrated best-of-breed components.
