Business Wire
Company will Introduce Stratus ztC Endurance
platform, spotlight Conperio’s PLEX MES with Stratus ftServer
solution, and join “Modernizing Data Collection for Improved
Decision Making” panel
Stratus Technologies, an SGH (Nasdaq: SGH) company and a global
leader in simplified, protected, and autonomous Edge Computing
platforms, today announced its participation at Rockwell
Automation’s Automation Fair® on November 6-9, 2023 in Boston,
Mass. Stratus will demonstrate its family of proven edge computing
platforms for running mission-critical Rockwell Automation
applications without downtime or data loss.
During the event, the company will also demonstrate its newest
offering, the Stratus ztC Endurance™ platform, and its other edge
platforms at booth #1440. Stratus will participate in two speaking
sessions, including a panel on modernizing data collection for
improved decision making where Stratus will be joined by Conperio
Technology Solutions for a discussion on edge-to-cloud
manufacturing execution systems.
“Edge computing has become a key enabler of Industry 4.0
technologies and industrial automation capabilities being adopted
to achieve operational excellence and modernize operations,” said
Stephen Greene, vice president, global marketing and Stratus
partnerships, Intelligent Platform Solutions, SGH. “Combined with
Rockwell Automation applications, Stratus zero-touch computing
platforms deliver unmatched reliability easily serviced by OT and
IT teams, enabling these teams to rapidly transform infrastructure
to support complex software stacks and build for the future.”
“Edge computing serves several essential roles with cloud-based
MES. These systems require reliable edge infrastructure as data is
collected from machinery and devices, organized and protected by an
edge platform, and then shared to the cloud-based MES,” said Ron
Harrison, president and founder of Conperio Technology Solutions.
“Security is another key role that edge computing greatly assists
with in a cloud-based MES. With a secure edge platform, control
systems are much more protected. As we continue to see more
cloud-based initiatives with MES, companies that do not spend the
time and resources to build this digitalization strategy will be
left behind within a few years.”

Experience the Latest Innovations in Edge Computing
Stratus will also be demonstrating its edge computing platforms,
solutions, and use cases in booth #1440, including:
- Stratus ztC Endurance – The Stratus ztC Endurance platform is
an evolutionary new family of intelligent, predictive fault
tolerant computing platforms that delivers predictable, protected
performance for next generation, sustainable operations. Automation
Fair is the first event where Stratus’ newest product will be
showcased and available for demonstrations.
- Stratus ftServer – The Stratus ftServer platform is ideal for
consolidating physical server infrastructure and ensuring the
availability of virtualized Windows and Linux applications. It
offers a fully integrated, continuously available platform for
business-critical workloads, manufacturing operations, and control
applications.
- Stratus ztC Edge – Stratus’ ztC Edge platform combines built-in
application virtualization and fault tolerance in an
easy-to-install, ruggedized design for the edge that delivers
scalable continuous availability of business-critical applications
in industries that cannot afford downtime.
- Stratus and Rockwell Automation PlantPAx Solution-in-a-Box –
This process control architecture jointly developed by Rockwell
Automation and Stratus simplifies the deployment of small to medium
scale distributed control systems (DCS) that require 5,000 I/Os or
less and protection from unplanned downtime. The built-in
virtualization of ztC Edge consolidates the PlantPAx software into
a single redundant platform, instead of being installed in multiple
computers.
