Case Study: MAN Nutzfahrzeuge achieves always-on vehicle production with Stratus Technologies

Stratus enables always-on vehicle production

MAN Nutzfahrzeuge, a leading European commercial vehicle manufacturer with 34,000 employees and €8.7bn in revenue, needed to ensure continuous availability of mission-critical production and process-control applications across its Munich factory and roughly 240 locations. With a centralized Microsoft Terminal Server/Citrix environment supporting hundreds of sites, any unscheduled downtime threatened data loss, halted operations and widespread service disruption.

MAN IT Services deployed Stratus everRun FT together with Stratus SplitSite to run two Windows servers in 100% lock-step, geographically separated to remove single-site outage risk. The solution delivers transparent, zero-interruption failover for highest-priority applications, effectively eliminating system failures, protecting the company’s production and 240 outlets, and giving MAN the operational resilience to expand everRun protections across its infrastructure.
