Stratus Technologies : Industry Solutions : Manufacturing

Reliance on complex, integrated IT solutions in manufacturing can dramatically increase the risk of unplanned downtime. With applications such as MES, SCADA, ERP or SAP xMII, IT failures result in, at a minimum, the loss of production time. Loss of data and/or control can also result in the loss of entire batches or create safety concerns.To minimize downtime, IT organizations must evaluate all components of a solution for reliability.
