Investment Value

With low cost of ownership and protection against downtime, Continuum systems give you the best possible return on your hardware investment. In addition to protecting you from downtime and outages, the Continuum family makes it easy to expand your environment. A choice of three processor speeds and as many as four processors lets you choose the system that meets your needs today, with the assurance that it can grow to support you tomorrow. Most upgrades can be performed online while your applications run uninterrupted.

Continuum systems are fully source-code compatible with previous Stratus systems, ensuring that existing applications and solutions migrate with a minimum of effort.
