Unisys Sentinel Management Software Benefits

Maximize Your Business Benefit

The Sentinel availability difference

Unisys CMP-based servers with Sentinel management software have a proven record of operating at 99.996% availability in a non-clustered environment. This is accomplished by leveraging the automation and self-healing feature provided with the Unisys Sentinel management environment. Sentinel not only proactively identifies and resolves potential problems independently, but it also takes action automatically when a soft or hard failure occurs, allowing our systems to continue operating without disruption. Your servers and applications stay available, so your business keeps operating.

The Sentinel performance difference

Unisys and Unisys Sentinel software have changed the traditional resource provisioning model. The days of hosting one application on a single server, oversized to accommodate peak periods or workload spikes, are coming to an end. Today, Sentinel allows you to allocate server resources for your average workload. The Sentinel performance difference can increase your average utilization up to 70 percent. While ensuring that your mission-critical applications can handle peak workloads by balancing the demands on your servers across all of your processing resource.

The Sentinel database difference

Unisys Sentinel management software transforms Unisys ES7000 servers into the preeminent platform for hosting Microsoft SQL Server databases, particularly large databases. Sentinel’s SQL tools optimize SQL Server databases and the ES7000 servers on which they run. In fact, ES7000 servers and our Sentinel management software can generate up to a 48 percent increase in transaction volume on our servers right out of the box. They can also yield up to a 40 percent increase in your transaction volumes—without adding more disk or memory.

The Sentinel security difference

When it comes to securing your enterprise data center, Unisys is your best partner for giving your data center a “lockdown.” That’s because we’ve given Unisys Sentinel management software a robust suite of security capabilities that protect not only your Windows-based Unisys servers, but also the applications and business they support.

To help ensure that your critical business systems are available and operating smoothly, Sentinel contains an integrated security agent to protect Unisys servers from malicious attacks such as buffer overflows and network worms and Trojans. Sentinel’s security probe searches your network for security vulnerabilities and recommends corrective actions to secure your environment. The benefit is that Sentinel keeps your servers secure in every way possible.
