Virtual Point Architecture

Fault Tolerance Architecture

Is a means of System Recovery utilizing “Automated System Reconfiguration” provided through Dynamic Network Architecture (DNA) with little or no impact on system security or operations upon a failure within any of the components within the system.

PCSC - Hydra Protocol

• Utilizes “Authentication” Protocol• Peer to Peer Communication Protocol • Dynamic Communication Architecture• Communication Manager for FTCs, DDMs and SDMs• Ability to Quickly Detect “communication failure”• Automatically “Re-Route” DDM/SDM to “Alternate” FTCs• Host to FTC Data Synchronization• FTC to FTC Data Synchronization• FTC to DDM/SDM System Parameter Synchronization• Automated Firmware Validation and Updates for FTC,
