Stratus Technologies delivers continuously available products, services, and solutions with unmatched operational simplicity. Stratus partners with VMware as a Global Alliance Partner, as a strategic contributor in VMware’s Community Source program, as an OEM (reselling installed, fully integrated solutions from VMware on Stratus hardware) and as a Technology Alliance Partner, with its Stratus ftServer Systems and Stratus Continuous Processing technology built into every ftServer system.
As VMware solutions remove restrictions and provide flexibility in hardware, the hardware itself becomes more critical with multiple virtual machines sitting on each physical server. Reliability, availability and continuous uptime are key to a successful implementation of a virtual infrastructure. Stratus and VMware combine to deliver greater than 99.999% uptime at both the server/hardware and virtualization layer levels.
