Solution Brief

Always On for Financial Services

Maximize availability for high-volume transactions and multi-channel financial services delivery

In today’s financial services industry, faster payments demand platform availability well outside the traditional overnight settlement window. Micro-second trades, global online banking and mobile transactions must be enabled 24/7/365. Credit and debit card authorizations require real-time transaction analysis and fraud detection. There is simply no time—day or night—for systems to be down.

Key Benefits

  • Protect processing, transactional and administrative applications with an always-on operating environment
  • Detect potential problems and proactively take action before downtime becomes an issue
  • Scale easily to accommodate network and transaction growth
  • Meet compliance requirements for data integrity and reliability
  • Leverage 24/7/365 global support

That’s why financial services companies around the world, from credit unions and banks to securities firms and stock exchanges, rely on Stratus Technologies. Stratus keeps your services up and running all the time—whether transacting in the cloud, on a smart phone, at a branch or via an ATM. We offer a range of flexible always-on solutions that are easy to deploy and manage, and backed by a support structure with a 40-year track record of success. Our solutions can be rapidly deployed in your chosen environment—physical, virtualized or cloud—without changes to your applications.

“We take comfort in the resiliency Stratus provides. The ftServer is more than technology. It’s peace of mind.”
