For more than 10 years Stratus has partnered with Schneider Electric, the leader in digital transformation of energy management and automation, to deliver reliable, scalable solutions for automation and building management that maximize productivity and help customers meet their business objectives. As an EcoStruxure™ partner, Stratus works closely with Schneider Electric across Manufacturing and Building Management to provide solutions that keep customers’ systems up and running—meeting the demands of today’s always-on world.
Stratus solutions for 24/7/365 availability
Whether you’re using AVEVA or Schneider Electric solutions for high-performance manufacturing automation or building management, you need to ensure that these mission-critical applications are available—all the time—so you can continually meet your business goals.
Real-time plant operations management
AVEVA™ software significantly reduces the cost of developing, deploying and maintaining mission-critical applications and infrastructure. In today’s real-time production environments, unplanned downtime can pose immediate and serious consequences that reduce output, delay schedules, and hurt the bottom-line.
Cost-efficient building management and performance
Schneider Electric solutions are designed to create highperformance buildings that optimize energy efficiency and deliver uncompromising security. Around-the-clock availability of these systems is critical to controlling operating expenditures, supporting green building legislation, and keeping building occupants and contents safe and secure.
The Stratus difference: always-on computing
When it comes to plant automation and building management, anything less than simple, protected, autonomous edge computing platforms won’t suffice. Plus, the trend toward virtualization makes it even more important to protect multiple applications running on virtual machines with a single point of failure. That’s why businesses using Schneider Electric and AVEVA solutions rely on Stratus® computing platforms for continuous 24/7/365 availability. As Schneider Electric-certified products, Stratus ftServer® systems and everRun® Enterprise software have been proven to deliver unsurpassed levels of availability and reliability for today’s always-on manufacturing and building management environments.
