Simple to deploy, simple to manage, simple to service

In today’s always-on global economy, seconds matter. Downtime in critical business applications can have far-reaching economic, security and legal consequences. Recovering from a failure, no matter how fast, is simply no longer an option. What companies need today is failure prevention, not failure recovery. What they shouldn’t need is a PhD to set it up.

Stratus offers quick and easy failure prevention with ftServer. Conventional technologies such as clustering and virtualisation-based HA do not prevent downtime, but rely on recovering from hardware or software failures. And this recovery time can vary from minutes to hours. Only ftServer prevents the downtime of your critical business applications, ensuring continuous availability, even when your underlying hardware components fail.
