Case Study: Co.Don achieves always-on ERP availability and pharmaceutical compliance with Stratus Technologies everRun VM

Stratus Everrun VM Delivers Always-On Availability To Ensure Pharmaceutical Compliance

co.don AG is a Berlin-based biopharmaceutical company specializing in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine for orthopedic and neurosurgery. Because its ERP system holds patient records, research and financial data, the company faced strict pharmaceutical compliance requirements and could not tolerate downtime or data loss from its mix of virtual and physical servers—standard preconfigured solutions failed to meet its availability needs.

co.don implemented Stratus everRun VM in its Citrix XenServer environment (combined with a cluster) to provide always-on availability, easy administration, and lower installation cost than alternative clustering products. The solution keeps a test server and production ERP systems continuously ready and checked, eliminated downtime experienced with prior setups, and ensured regulatory compliance, data protection and reliable, in‑house manageability.
