Case Study: Lengede Township achieves 99.99% uptime and low‑maintenance virtualization with Stratus Technologies' Avance software

Lengede Deploys Stratus Avance Software For Reliable, Affordable Uptime Assurance

Lengede Township, a small local government in Lower Saxony, faced a growing IT challenge: aging servers, new compliance requirements that required dedicated hosts for some applications, and only two staff members responsible for all IT and administrative duties. Because system availability is critical for services like registry and permitting, the township needed a reliable, low‑maintenance way to virtualize and consolidate servers without increasing operational complexity or staffing.

Lengede deployed Stratus Avance software, which pairs two standard x86 servers into a single, highly available system with embedded virtualization and continuous monitoring. The solution provides automatic failover with no data loss, a single management console for remote administration, and a rapid, 20‑minute installation. As a result, the township achieved enterprise‑class uptime (>99.99%), reduced cost and maintenance burden, stayed within budget, and eliminated the need for constant hands‑on intervention.
