Award-winning HA software brings 99.99% uptime reliability to mid-enterprise IT

MAYNARD, Mass., March 24 /PRNewswire/ -- Stratus Technologies announced today that IT virtualization professional services and consulting firm, VIRTERA, is adding Stratus Avance high-availability software to its portfolio of solutions targeted at mid-size enterprises. Avance software on industry-standard x86 servers provides uptime reliability that is superior to hardware- and software-based clusters, but with none of the associated complexity of cluster configuration and management.

"Availability assurance is being appreciated more and more by IT organizations as an essential aspect of comprehensive virtualization planning, and so is the potential it can represent for adding complexity to a solution," said John Premus, VIRTERA's chief strategic officer. "Customers look to VIRTERA to cut through the complexity and devise virtual infrastructure solutions that solve today's most challenging IT issues. In that pursuit, Stratus Avance software is a sophisticated tool delivering not only high availability, but operational simplicity and value, as well."

Headquartered in New York City, VIRTERA devises end-user solutions based on proven, repeatable framework architectures, vSpectrum, designed to solve business challenges in areas such as disaster recovery, risk mitigation, consolidation, remote office optimization, accelerated application deployment, and other concerns. VIRTERA is a Dell Solution Partner, and Dell is a reseller of Stratus-branded hardware and software for high availability and continuous availability.

Stratus Technologies' Award-winning Avance software provides high availability instantly and automatically upon installation. Target markets include mid-sized businesses, as well as distributed applications at the edge of corporate datacenter networks. Unlike other HA solutions, failover scripting, repeated testing, and making applications cluster-aware are unnecessary, and restarts are nearly eliminated. Stratus Avance technology detects errors and continues processing during all but the most catastrophic hardware and software faults. Avance software's 99.99 percent uptime routinely means no application interruptions, data loss or client disconnects.
