Appliance-Optimized Hardware Platform: Virtually Zero Downtime, Simple to manage IT Infrastructure as "Clustered IT-in-Box"

IRON CloudBoxx Cluster-in-Box Unified infrastructure appliances are purpose-built, high performance hardware devices integrated with Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2 software technologies and IRON designed Oneface system hardware management tools. It significantly reduces the cost of compute and storage by offering resilience and performance similar to expensive Tier-1 solutions by taking advantage of industry-standard hardware. It offers capabilities such as high reliability, availability, scalability, and performance traditionally seen only in enterprise datacenter deployments due to their high value to customers of all sizes.

Unique Dual Node with Shared Storage (CIB) Cluster-In-a-Box Design

IRON CloudBoxx is custom designed for easy deployment and reliability. Creating and managing an High-Availability Windows Cluster is complex and requires several servers and storage system components. The Iron Networks CIB a is fully fault-tolerant Hyper-V Cluster appliance with no single points of failure.

• Non-Stop N+1 Hardware Resiliency: Resiliency is built into the design at multiple levels to deal with hardware and software failures to help prevent network, storage and compute downtime, both planned and unplanned.
• Purpose-built Product SKUs: The right selections of hardware components provide a balance between performance goals and cost. Multiple SKUs options available with balanced compute CPU, memory, network throughput, and storage IOPS and capacity. It delivers cost reductions per transaction and per VM while protecting mission-critical line-of-business applications, databases, VDI and Server Virtualization environments.
• An Embedded Fail-Safe Appliance Remote Access & Recovery Management System (AARMS): Oneface/AARMS, designed by IRON is a DOM based embedded operating system boot environment built inside of each of the nodes; the appliance can boot into "maintenance mode" where the administrator has full BIOS-level "out-of-band" access to system hardware and windows software environments, even when the appliance operating system shutdown or powered off. It provides advance offline system management and maintenance of system hardware and Windows OS image.
