Stratus Technologies’ VMware vSphere guarantee

VIB — Thu, 05 May 2011 13:49:43 +0000

Targets virtualization of Tier 1 enterprise workloads

Stratus Technologies is betting $50,000 that Tier 1 enterprise applications are virtualization-ready – provided they are running VMware vSphere™ 4 on the Stratus® ftServer® platform.

The Zero Downtime $50K Guarantee promises new and existing Stratus customers 100
percent uptime for newly purchased ftServer 6300 systems running VMware vSphere 4 Enterprise and
Enterprise Plus editions. Any unplanned downtime caused by the failure of the server or virtualization
platform during the first six months after being placed into production will put $50,000 cash or product
credit in the customer’s hand.

A VMware global partner, Stratus has customers running mission-critical applications today on Stratus
ftServer and VMware vSphere 4 combined solutions including: a global financial services firm; a major
U.S. government agency; one of America’s leading credit card processors; and a 192-bed acute care
hospital with 26 outlying primary and specialty care centers.
