Business continuity and IT consolidation are now well within the reach of every IT budget.

Stratus ^® Avance™ software is a single, easy-to use solution that reinvents high-availability (HA) virtualization and delivers a lasting benefit you won’t get from other HA solutions: Lower IT costs.

Automatic high availability. Avance software innovations enable ordinary x86 servers to deliver greater than 99.99% uptime —  automatically. Failure-prevention features protect your business against data corruption and loss. Complete online monitoring eliminates the need for onsite technical personnel. It all adds up to a rock-solid foundation for the built-in virtualization capabilities that are part of this one-of-a kind package. 

Effortless virtualization. Avance software’s tightly integrated HA and virtualization technology translates to simplified server consolidation or hosting of multiple virtualized applications. Setting up a resilient, virtualized environment has never been easier. In fact, you can provision virtual Windows and Linux machines on an Avance system in minutes. And all of the virtual machines and applications in your solution remain fully protected by Avance HA technology.

IT complexity conquered. Operational simplicity solidifies the advantages of Avance technology over other HA alternatives. Highly automated features facilitate easy set-up. Built-in error handling and the uniquely designed Avance remote management console streamline monitoring and support. The Windows and Linux virtual machines, physical x86 systems and network interfaces can all be managed from this single, web-based management console that runs within the Avance HA environment.

Avance is an enterprise-class solution that is also ideal for small offices or remote locations with limited IT personnel.
