Arcturus by Valen Systems

Know what’s happening.
Keep the system running.

Machine reliability and management, with the operating context to connect a signal to a useful response.

For the people responsible for uptime, from a single machine to a fleet.

The operating problem

An alert tells you something changed.
It doesn’t tell you the whole story.

A temperature reading, a failed service and a slow workload can be symptoms of the same problem. Arcturus is built around the relationship between machine state, operating history and what needs to happen next.

Start with a machine.
Keep the wider system in view.

Arcturus brings together reliability, management and the human experience of running systems. Its foundation is Rubian/Kestowv, not a layer of disconnected status cards.

Start with what’s actually happening.

Bring machine identity, health observations and service behavior into the same operating context.

Machine observations

Keep the history with the condition.

Understand the host, the work it’s running and the dependencies around it before choosing a response.

The machine model

Make recovery an operating decision.

Connect evidence to permitted actions, recovery checks and a clear handoff when a person needs to take over.

Explore reliability & recovery

Conceptual operating model. Explore the interactive machine demo for a sample environment.

More than an alarm and a restart.

Arcturus brings reliability and management into the operating environment. The question is what’s happening, what it affects and how the system gets back to useful work.

Health with context

Associate observations with a known machine, its services, workload and history. Investigate a pattern across readings instead of treating each threshold crossing as an isolated event.

Observations and evidence

Deliberate recovery

Make actions, permissions, retries and escalation understandable. Preserve incident history so the next operator can see the response, not reconstruct it from disconnected screens.

Machine operation

Resources and execution

The machine still needs to perform its work efficiently. Rubian and Kestowv connect the reliability product to commands, workspaces, service operation and workload evaluation.

The technical foundation

Dependencies and maintenance

A host depends on storage, network, power and cooling. Carry that relationship into fault diagnosis and maintenance decisions, from a local cluster to a wider operating environment.

Predictive-maintenance model

Inspect the operating experience.

The browser demonstrations use invented sample hosts and local actions. They expose no private telemetry and control no real machine.

One machine, a complete incident

Inspect health, read the incident context and follow the available controls. Use the demo to discuss which observations and actions matter to your environment.

A connected facility

Follow a sample condition across equipment and responsibilities. The demonstration illustrates the operating model; deployment integrations and physical maintenance are defined in the engagement.

A paid place to start

Start with the machine
that needs attention.

Bring one host and up to three services. Start with a defined review of the health signals, restart behavior and recovery gaps.

These are scoped professional services, not Arcturus software licenses. Implementation, software access and ongoing support are agreed separately.

$750 USD · one time

Reliability Baseline Review

Review the health signals, restart behavior and recovery gaps of one host and up to three services before choosing a larger reliability engagement.

Arcturus community

Your own machines.
The same systems thinking.

Developers, home labs and personal computers need reliable services, useful performance and a way back when something fails. Our planned open-source consumer edition brings Arcturus to that work, with Omarchy as a first tailored edition and a broader Linux direction.
