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.
