XPlatform Infrastructure Aims to Eliminate Software and Hardware Compatibility Issues
“Astra Group,” a developer of systems and application software, and OpenYard have unveiled XPlatform Infrastructure, an integrated hardware and software system. It comes preconfigured and ready to use, giving customers a centralized way to manage their computing, networking and server infrastructure.
In the future, the product could help keep government services, banking applications and industrial information systems running reliably and without interruption.
Data Stays Within the Secure Environment
XPlatform Infrastructure protects against unauthorized access at the Astra Linux operating system kernel level. Developed jointly by Astra Group and OpenYard, the system can operate within a closed IT environment without transmitting data outside it.
The system combines the secure Astra Linux operating system with DCImanager, a platform for centralized management of physical IT infrastructure. It includes tools for access management and monitoring, as well as containerization capabilities. The hardware foundation of XPlatform Infrastructure consists of OpenYard RS102 and RS202 series servers. These machines can host enterprise applications, virtualization systems and other infrastructure workloads. Because the components are designed to work together, customers do not have to spend significant time selecting, configuring and testing software and hardware for compatibility.
Infrastructure That Scales With Demand
By bringing together OpenYard server platforms and Astra Group’s software, the companies give customers a pretested configuration while reducing the amount of integration work required.
XPlatform Infrastructure is also designed to grow with a customer’s needs. Its architecture allows computing resources to be expanded while keeping management centralized. The configuration combining Astra Group’s software and OpenYard server hardware has undergone testing, delivering strong performance and fault tolerance. Another key advantage is that it meets the requirements of modern IT infrastructure.
A Foundation for Cloud Services and Applications
The system’s broad range of capabilities makes it suitable as the foundation for an enterprise IT environment or a platform for delivering cloud resources. Organizations can use XPlatform Infrastructure to build a private cloud, deploy an enterprise business application or address other infrastructure needs. Its software package already includes XDirectory, a directory service module; XMonitoring, an infrastructure monitoring module; and the XBackup media server for backup systems.
XPlatform Infrastructure brings together server capacity, storage resources and management tools in a single environment for building or upgrading enterprise infrastructure. As Nikita Korablev, head of Astra XPlatform at Astra Group, explained, customers can access support through a single point of contact: Astra Group coordinates the resolution of issues involving both software and hardware components.
XPlatform Infrastructure, developed by Russian companies, addresses an important challenge for IT customers: it lets them choose hardware and software whose compatibility has already been verified. This makes it easier for businesses to use Russian technologies for enterprise needs and expand their IT infrastructure as their requirements evolve. Such solutions are particularly relevant to organizations that need to retain control over their data while keeping mission-critical applications running without interruption.
Deployment of the system is expected to support the growth of Russia’s integrated hardware and software solutions market and encourage the development of new digital products. XPlatform Infrastructure’s export potential lies primarily in the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), where businesses are looking to modernize their enterprise infrastructure.
