Case Study: J. Knipper and Company, Inc. achieves 24/7/365 always-on availability and cost-effective redundancy with Stratus Technologies' everRun

Stratus Enables Always-On Marketing Solutions For The Healthcare Industry

J. Knipper & Company is a pharmaceutical services firm that provides sample distribution, direct marketing, data analytics and web-based SaaS tools for sales reps and physicians. With large refrigerated and controlled-storage facilities and client-facing applications that must operate 24/7/365, Knipper needed to eliminate manual recovery processes, meet FDA-related uptime requirements to protect refrigerated samples, and avoid lost orders and revenue when web services went offline.

Knipper deployed Stratus everRun software on Dell PowerEdge servers (with Microsoft SQL Server) to provide real-time synchronization, automated failover, and simpler management. The solution was quick to implement, reduced monitoring overhead, ensured continuous availability of warehouse and web applications through planned and unplanned events, and delivered cost-effective redundancy—prompting Knipper to expand everRun protection to additional services.
