PCS stays up so you don’t have to

April 2024 System Integration & Control Systems Design

It’s another 3 am callout and you get out of your warm bed and head off to the plant to press the reset button on a server that seems to have fallen asleep. Does this sound familiar? Rather than reboot that server maybe it’s time to give it the boot. Maybe it’s time to look at a solution that stays online 99,99999% of the time so you don’t have to. This the world of Stratus computer platforms, tailor-made for your critical applications.
