Basic computer operating system architecture has changed very little since the computers inception. An architecture where the operating system and it components reside on some form of modifiable persistent storage. This persistent storage is mounted at boot time to load the operating system and its associated applications and data. While the type size and speed of this persistent storage have improved it is functionally identical to its predecessors
It is this architecture that that negatively impacts both system availability and security. The persistent storage creates the environment for operating system decay as well hiding places for ransomware, malware and viruses.
vSeries zStation endpoint operating environment addresses the inherent deficiencies of this architecture. By dynamically building the entire computing platform upon every login the computer is new for every use, operating system decay is simply not possible. The highest levels of information assurance are attained by not only dynamically creating the operating system in volatile memory for each use, but also by constructing the operating system on a series of read-only filesystems. zStation essentially eliminates the attack vectors that are commonly used by bad actors to gain access and control of your computing platforms.
Your computer becomes a true plug-and-play appliance, capable of working "out of the box" without the need for any administrative intervention. The installer only has to plug it in; and turn it on.
As technology continues its steady migration to mobile platforms it is not enough for the application to be the only responsive element. zStation’s modularity guarantees a completely responsive environment.
vSeries represents a new level of security, reducing if not eliminating attack vectors. Since the filesystem that the operating system resides on is read-only attachment points for viruses and malware simply don’t exist.
zStation endpoint operating environment operates exclusively in volatile RAM not requiring local storage for any operation. This architecture provides performance not attainable by traditional computer architectures.
Remember when your computer was new, everything was fast and it just worked, as it gets older your computer seems slower, that’s because it is, operating system decay is a real issue. Since zStation is stateless it is new evry time you login.
Policy based computing guarantees that the system is deployed in the ideal configuration. Both operating system and application workloads are always in the optimal configuration on all systems.
