Continuous Availability in Manufacturing
Eliminating risk from integrated, real-time manufacturing applications
High Availability is close, yet nowhere near. Organisations in search of Business Continuity will be let down by complex High Availability Clusters. At best they achieve 99.9% availability - that equates to nearly 9 hours of downtime over a year.
Mission Critical means must not fail. HardwarePT has forged a partnership with Stratus Technologies who is the leading supplier of fault tolerant servers for Continuous Availability. Delivering more than 99.999% availability, Stratus ftServer systems afford you less than 5 minutes of downtime a year!
Also, reliance on complex, integrated IT solutions in manufacturing can dramatically increase the risk of unplanned downtime. With applications such as MES, SCADA, ERP or SAP xMII, IT failures result in, at a minimum, the loss of production time. Loss of data and/or control can also result in the loss of entire batches or create safety concerns. To minimize downtime, IT organizations must evaluate all components of a solution for reliability.
Whether the need is uninterrupted data collection at a pharmaceutical maker, the always-on imperative at a utility company, or real-time execution at an auto maker, HardwarePT can deliver 99.999 +% availability to integrated, real-time manufacturing applications through their partnership with Stratus
