Start of MarLiant systems

The fully redundant IT system specifically designed for the maritime environment is said to be a  ‘deployment ready’ thin-client/server solution, which incorporates dedicated service-processors to cover the ‘high availability’ and security issues encountered on ships and offshore installations.    

MarLiant serves as a ‘non-stop computing platform’ featuring a multi-user Windows environment using client-server technology.  A typical system consists of a single, fully redundant application server using Windows Server 2008, in conjunction with a number of solid state Thin Client workstations (measuring 75 x75 mm.) mounted throughout the vessel. The system replaces a network of shipboard PC’s and laptops being far more susceptible to viruses,  abuse,  as well as repair and update complexities and associated costs.

NetWave states to have already received orders for well over 100 shipboard systems to be delivered during the first half of 2011.
