Suggested January 2024 Server Snapshots: Spotlight On Stratus
Since we last looked at Stratus Technologies (Maynard, Mass.) in March 2007, their big news has been the release of a software-based high-availability (HA) product known as Avance. It makes use of embedded virtualization and Ethernet-connected x86 servers to create a high-availability cluster at a cost of $2,500 per server.
Avance installs in 15 minutes and offers data protection, availability uptime and business continuity. Processing on one server is simultaneously written to the mate. If the primary server goes down, the other assumes the processing duties. The company promises uptime of 99.99 percent
On the server side, however, little has changed. The company made a couple of incremental upgrades to its hardware — mostly notably a 100-fold performance increase for a similar price as the older gear. It has also expanded its range into the storage world with the addition of Stratus ftScalable storage.
Stratus is positioning itself as the availability company. As well as fault-tolerant servers and software, it has a consulting arm that focuses on ensuring IT availability for the business processes of a company. According to Lane, this part of the business has taken off.
“Our positioning as the availability company resonates with customers,” said Lane. “It’s a real pain point — not just at the application level, but throughout an IT support infrastructure — and there are many pretenders that say they have solutions for it.”
The recent product refresh to the Stratus line up means its ftServer lineup consists of the 2510, 4410 and 6210. All are equipped for 24/7 proactive remote monitoring, management and remediation over the Stratus Active Service Network. They are also all quad-core systems.
The ftServer 4410 has been given a 2X performance boost compared to the previous version (the ft4400) in the hopes of making it more attractive to virtual environments or as an affordable workhorse for transaction-intensive applications.
“The 4410 now surpasses the performance of our previous high-end 6200 system,” said Lane. This model is the sweet spot of our product line.”
It is available in 1- or 2-socket configurations and has up to 32 MB of RAM (compared to 12 MB before). Pricing ranges from $24,456 to $54,262.
The Stratus ft6210 is a 2-socket quad-core 3.00 GHz (vs. 2.66 GHz before) box with up to 32 GB of main memory (vs. 24 MB in the previous generation). According to Lance, the 6210 is attractive to customers moving off legacy systems, especially those looking for a new home for enterprise-class, mission-critical business operations. Pricing starts at $42,156 and tops out at $68,462.
While Stratus stresses the above models these days, it also offers several other hardware lines. The T Series is aimed at the telecom world. These systems combine Intel Xeon processors and Red Hat Enterprise Linux in a fault-tolerant server architecture for 99.999 percent uptime. Since our previous Snapshot, there have been no changes to the T Series.
The Stratus V Series is targeted at the installed base of customers using the discontinued Stratus Continuum server line. These products use the VOS operating system.
“The issues for Continuum users are lack of a future road map and processing volume capacities,” said Lane. “The old VOS applications work great but cannot keep pace with business growth. Our V Series servers provide what they need.”
Stratus continues to provide V Series models for this niche market. Three additional models — the ftServer V Series 150, 200 and 400 — have been released in the past year, as well as a speed bump for the older ftServer V Series 250, 300 and 500. This is all about the addition of more recent processor models, and increased clock speed, front side bus, cache and memory.
Stratus has been a relatively rapid adopter of dual-core processors and, more recently, quad core. According to Lane, its customers demand this in fault-tolerant gear.
“Multi-core processors are enormously beneficial to end users and to server vendors,” he said. “They are more efficient, offer better price/performance and take up less real estate.
Lane said he believes that the trend toward more and more cores will continue into the foreseeable future. Full deployment of virtualization strategies, the growing demands of disaster recovery and SaaS are driving the demand.
As for AMD, Stratus has no plans. The company remains an Intel shop.
“We use Intel because they support processor determinism, which is necessary for lock-stepping,” said Lane. “Without identically matched processors, fault tolerance cannot be achieved.”

Special Spotlight Screened For Bu Audience
Special Spotlight Screened for BU Audience Movie on Boston Archdiocese sex abuse scandal garners Oscar buzz
The team behind Spotlight, including Boston Globe journalists and their acting counterparts: screenwriter Josh Singer (from left), Walter V. Robinson, Ben Bradlee, Jr., Rachel McAdams, John Slattery, director Tom McCarthy, Liev Schreiber, Sacha Pfeiffer (MET’94, SED’12), Marty Baron, Mike Rezendes (CAS’78), Brian d’Arcy James, and Matt Carroll.

Last week, the real-life reporters portrayed by A-list talent in the new film Spotlight celebrated how well the film stuck to the facts about the Boston Globe Spotlight team’s investigation of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Boston’s decadeslong cover-up of pedophile priests. The film opens today nationwide.
The Pulitzer Prize–winning reporters—Sacha Pfeiffer (MET’94, SED’12), Mike Rezendes (CAS’78), Matt Carroll, Walter V. Robinson, and Ben Bradlee, Jr.—fielded questions after the film was screened to an audience of College of Communication students and faculty at the AMC Loews Boston Common. The event was part of COM’s Cinematheque series, which brings accomplished filmmakers to campus to screen and discuss their work.
“What you saw in two hours was five months of our work,” said Pfeiffer, who recently returned to the Globe after a stint at WBUR, BU’s National Public Radio station. “Obviously you have to take a little bit of dramatic license, you need to speed things up, take three different scenes and put them into one. There are times where there’s a talk on the golf course, when in reality it probably happened on the telephone, but a two-hour movie of telephone calls isn’t going to be very interesting. I think we were all very impressed with how closely they stayed to what authentically happened.”
In 2002, the Spotlight team published an explosive story claiming that the archdiocese knew that priest John J. Geoghan had been sexually abusing children for decades. Yet instead of turning him in to face prosecution, the paper reported, the Church several times moved Geoghan to different parishes and assured parents that he wouldn’t be allowed to repeat his crimes. The Globe’s reporting showed that many in the Boston community—including other priests, parents, teachers, and law enforcement—knew of the abuse, but their devotion to their religion deterred them from exposing the crimes.
Spotlight reporters and editors would eventually publish dozens of stories, revealing that in Boston alone, 250 priests had been accused of child abuse, and that Cardinal Bernard Law and even the Pope were aware of the allegations. The reporters found that similar allegations of abuse were plaguing archdioceses all over the world. For its work, the Globe won the Pulitzer Prize for public service in 2003.
The film, directed by Tom McCarthy (The Station Agent, The Visitor), is considered an early Oscar front-runner after screenings at the Venice and Toronto Film Festivals. It stars Mark Ruffalo as Rezendes, Michael Keaton as Robinson, Rachel McAdams as Pfeiffer, Liev Schreiber as Globe editor Marty Baron (now at the helm of the Washington Post), John Slattery as Bradlee, and Brian d’Arcy James as Carroll. Actor Billy Crudup plays Eric MacLeish (LAW’78), a lawyer who represented abuse victims, and investigative reporter Stephen Kurkjian (CAS’66), who also worked on the project, is played by actor Gene Amoroso. Kristen Lombardi (COM’95), a writer for the now-defunct Boston Phoenix who first published a feature-length story about the abuse and wrote more than a dozen articles on the topic beginning in 2001, does not make an appearance; she is thanked in the film’s credits.
As the credits rolled, the Spotlight members answered questions at the front of the theater. Asked why it took so long to make the film, Robinson said the producers first approached them in 2007, but it was several years before they secured financing. As with many films, different studios and different financiers were attached to the project at different times.
Another question was how hearing the stories of abuse from the victims affected the reporters. Robinson said it was a painful experience. “It was pretty emotionally wrenching for us from the get-go because much of the information came directly from survivors,” said the 34-year Globe veteran, now an editor at large. “In the weeks that followed the first story being published, we received calls from over 300 victims in just the Boston archdiocese….But it energized us to work even harder to get to the end of the story.”
One of many things that the film does not sugarcoat is the failure of Globe reporters, who had done several short pieces on allegations of abuse, to notice the pattern sooner than they did.
“If we had done our story several years earlier, it would have been the preinternet era, and the only people who would have read it would be in the radius of the Boston area,” Pfeiffer said. “But because it was in the early age of the web, people from all over read the story and tip calls flooded in from everywhere.”
The film was screened, paradoxically, just days after the Globe announced a layoff of 24 reporters and 17 buyouts, the latest in a string of staff cuts at the paper. “I think the producers wanted to make a movie about investigative reporting at a time when many newspapers are cutting back on investigative reporting, to emphasize how important it is,” said Rezendes, who has worked for the Globe since 1989.
Chris Daly, a COM professor of journalism, was the last audience member to address the reporters, and he spoke for all in the room. “Journalism has had a not-so-great run for the last few years, and here comes this film to lift us all back up, based on the incredible work that you all did,” he said. “So on behalf of all of the journalists here, I want to say thank you.”
The crowd broke into applause.

How To Run A Simple Web Server On Iphone
Have you ever wanted to create your own portable server? Whether you’re learning web development and want to host your own HTML files on your iPhone, or whether you just want to play around with a server without being restricted to using a laptop or a computer to install MAMP, your iPhone can do it for you. So, if this is something you’re interested in, we’ve got you covered with all the important information you’ll need. Here is how you can run a simple web server on iPhone.
Run a Simple Web Server on iPhone and iPadRunning a server on your iPhone isn’t a difficult job at all. In fact, it’s really quite straightforward. All you need is a simple, free app, and that’s pretty much it. Obviously, since this is a simple web server, it won’t have all the bells and whistles you’ll get with something like a XAMP or MAMP installation on your laptop or PC. However, it can do the basics and do it well. So, let’s jump right in.
As always, you can use the table of contents below to navigate through this article.
Requirements for Running a Web Server on iPhoneApart from an iPhone, all you need to run a web server, is a Linux shell environment. There are a couple you can use, but we are going to use the iSH Shell app (free).
Create a Simple Web Server on iPhone with iSH Shell
First, install the iSH Shell app (free) on your iPhone and launch the app.
Now, we will install Python 3 on the iPhone via the shell. Just type in the command mentioned below.
apk add python3
Once Python 3 is installed on your iPhone, you’re ready to create the server. Enter the command given below to start a web server on your iPhone.
Next, you should see the “Serving HTTP on 0.0.0.0 port 8000” message at the bottom. Besides, you will also get a popup saying something like, “iSH would like to find and connect to devices on your local network. This is required for connecting to localhost and using the ping command” Tap OK in the popup menu to proceed.
Next up, you can connect the web server from either the same device or another. If you want to connect to the iOS/iPadOS web server from the same device (localhost), just point any web browser to the following address.
In order to connect to the iOS/iPadOS web server from another device on the same network, point any web server to the below address.
How to Add Your HTML Files to Your iPhone ServerNow that we’ve created a server, you may be wondering where and how to add your HTML files, right? Well that’s easy as well. Just follow the steps below.
Note: We are assuming you already have created the HTML file you want to serve through your iPhone’s web server. If you haven’t you can create an HTML file on your Mac or PC and then follow the steps below.
On your iPhone, launch the Files app. Tap on the three dot icon on the top-right and tap on ‘Edit’.
Enable the toggle next to iSH, and then tap on ‘Done’.
Note: The file should be called index.html.
How to Stop Your iPhone Server
In the iSH Shell app where the server is running, tap on the control icon (up arrow) in the toolbar. Then, press ‘Z’ on the keyboard.
That’s it, iSH Shell will inform you that the server has been stopped.

Review: Steelseries ‘Stratus’ Made For Iphone/Ipad/Ipod Bluetooth Game Controller
I previously reviewed the first two Apple authorized game controllers to hit the market under Apple’s new Made for iPhone/iPad/iPod touch program from Logitech and Moga. Both used Apple’s form-fitting design that docks an iPhone or iPod touch directly into the controller via a Lightning connector. However, Apple’s program also allows another breed of standalone controllers that connect over Bluetooth and therefore also work with iPad and Mac. Unveiled at CES, this week I’ve put one of the first Bluetooth, non-form-fitting designs to the test with the new Stratus wireless controller from SteelSeries.
While the standalone design that doesn’t require you to dock your device makes it look and feel more like a traditional game controller, the Stratus is actually about less than half the size of the two MFi controllers from Logitech and Moga, which are generally about the same size as your standard Xbox or Playstation controller. The controller is a tiny 4.3” x 2.66” x 1.3”, but the image below comparing it to controllers from Logitech, Moga, and Playstation really puts it in perspective:
Of course there is one big benefit of the super compact design and that’s pocketability. For commuters with not much bag space to spare, the Stratus is about as compact as it can get while still being completely functional. Unfortunately the standalone design means you won’t be doing much playing while in transit, as you’ll usually be left with nowhere to prop up an iPhone or iPad. That’s one benefit of the form-fitting designs that dock the iPhone right into the controller. Some manufacturers of the non-form-fitting design plan to include a stand with their controller, but SteelSeries does not.
It also comes with a plastic dust cover that is supposed to protect from dust and objects when it is thrown in a bag or pocket and on the go (pictured below). It doubles as some “extra grip” when attached to the back, which does make the tiny body of the controller somewhat more substantial for those with larger hands. Unfortunately, with at least my review unit, the dust cover wouldn’t attach properly or stay on to the front of the controller. The company says it’s fixing that before the controller ships to the public. It would also have been nice if the cover doubled as a stand for your iPhone or iPad while playing.
Two things you lose with the Stratus vs the form-fitting MFi controllers we’ve seen: You won’t be able to charge your device from the built-in battery and there’s no headphone jack. However, you do gain the ability to use the controller with your iPad, Mac, or Apple TV (without having to use AirPlay mirroring).
When it comes to games, all of the controllers that use Apple’s extended layout with dual joysticks and four shoulder buttons are all in the same boat. That is, manufacturers are maintaining their own lists of compatible games and slowly updating as developers release updates to their apps to support Apple’s new game controller frameworks. The standard layout, which we’ve so far only seen from Logitech’s controller, is slightly more limited in compatible games due to lack of joysticks. While all games supporting Apple’s controller framework will support both extended and standard layouts, the experience with the standard layout will sometimes require the touch display for some functions that don’t map nicely to the scaled back button layout. We’re also still waiting on Apple to release its own master list or iTunes category with controller compatible games.
The Stratus controller from SteelSeries has two big benefits over its competitors so far: its small size and the much higher quality dual joysticks. The real choice for consumers when it comes to MFi controllers will be Bluetooth versus the form-fitting design. Form-fitting design means you can pickup and play anywhere on an iPhone or iPod touch— on the bus, walking down the street, on the couch— while the standalone Bluetooth controllers will be better suited to iPad and Mac gamers. It would be nice to see a form-fitting controller that could also connect over Bluetooth and do both, but for now it looks like the cost trade-off means it will be one or the other. I’ll personally be sticking with Moga’s controller simply because its the form-fitting design. But you’ll also have some time to decide if you’re holding out for a Bluetooth MFi controller, as the Stratus doesn’t ship until March and others are bound to be announced in the meantime.
Stratus from SteelSeries is up for preorder in black and white variants for $99.
