The Astra Group has introduced a new line of Astra XPlatform software and hardware complexes (PACs) targeting critical infrastructure, cloud technologies, and artificial intelligence.
Astra XPlatform is a family of domestic PACs built on the unified technology stack of the Astra Group. They are designed for typical corporate scenarios, such as creating private clouds, working with high-load databases, centralized backup, fault-tolerant delivery of digital services, and deploying solutions based on artificial intelligence.
All XPlatform components are designed for seamless integration with each other and with Russian microelectronics, including Baikal-S processors. In the future, the entire XPlatform line will be implemented on domestic processors. The software platform for building PACs is the Astra Linux Server operating system.
As part of the demonstration with the participation of the Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation, Vasily Shpak, the following PACs of the Astra XPlatform family were presented:
- XData — a high-performance database machine based on the Russian DBMS Tantor Postgres, an analogue of Oracle Exadata for mission-critical systems and CII;
- XTime — a software and hardware complex for data backup and archival storage;
- XCloud — a platform for building a private cloud based on the Russian software of the Astra Group;
- XConnect — a hardware load balancer and a set of network solutions to ensure the fault-tolerant operation of digital services;
- XGenAI — a hybrid platform based on the technologies of the Astra Group with expert implementation support, allows you to create a fully functional environment for generative models and classical AI based on the local infrastructure.
The demonstration also featured servers and boards built on domestic Baikal-S processors from Baikal Electronics and manufactured by Astra Group partners — Elpitech, Delta Computers, Yadro, Aquarius, and others.
