Case Study: U.S. Regional Bank achieves zero unscheduled downtime with Stratus Technologies' Avance high-availability software

Stratus Avance Software Helps Southeast U.S. Bank Keep Its Promise Of Real-Time Response To Customers

A regional bank in the U.S. Southeast needed to guarantee real‑time teller and sales transactions for its branches after consolidating applications into a centralized private‑cloud architecture. Because the new model put all branches at risk if the central server failed, the bank sought a secure, highly available platform that balanced cost, performance and low operational overhead.

The bank deployed Stratus Avance high‑availability software on two Dell servers, hosting six virtual machines running Microsoft Windows Server 2008 and SQL Server 2008 for teller and sales applications. Since implementation the system has recorded zero unscheduled downtime, reduced IT maintenance and management overhead, allowed fast upgrades, and delivered reliable vendor support.
