Software manages real-time systems
Quorum is a policy-based system that performs automated closed loop management of application QoS and allocation of resources for real-time systems.
Themis' Quorum is a distributed computing resource manager software system for the automated management of service level agreements (SLAs), applications and hardware resource in real-time, mission critical distributed systems.
A policy-based system, Quorum performs automated closed loop management of application quality of service (QoS) and allocation of resources for real-time systems.
Quorum supports a wide variety of industry standard platforms including Sun Solaris, Linux, Microsoft Windows and LynxOS servers, as well as various network switches and SMI-compliant storage area networks.

Designed to meet the US Navy's requirements for its next generation open combat systems, Quorum is a utility grid virtualisation network solution that is ideally suited to bring the benefits of utility grid computing to both the commercial and military markets.
These benefits are high availability, QoS, dynamic reconfiguration capability, ability to deploy low cost computers, fewer IT people to operate and maintain networks, as well as easy installation and operation.
Quorum takes automatic action to correct problems based on administrative policies that may themselves be dynamic.
"We developed our Quorum resource manager for the next generation open architecture combat systems, but realised that it's ability to allocate resources in real time was especially relevant to the dynamic loads modern data centres experience", said William E Kehret, President of Themis Computer.
"Quorum goes beyond virtualisation, by addressing resource utilisation, with real-time polices, getting to the root of cost effective enterprise computing", added Kehret.
With Quorum, users can implement a single solution that runs in a heterogamous environment, offering a single interface for high availability across operating systems and providing cost effective availability for all mission-critical applications.
Because Quorum delivers policy based QoS, an enterprise will be able to set SLAs and be assured that they will be globally administered, taking corrective actions or deploying additional computer resources to assure the service level agreement.
