MAYNARD, Mass., Jan. 19, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Stratus Technologies, a global leader in simplified, protected, autonomous Edge Computing platforms, today launched a new value-added reseller (VAR) program enabling OEMs, Machine Builders, and Solutions Builders to profitably develop and deliver Edge Computing-based offerings to enable customers’ Industry 4.0, digital transformation, and Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) initiatives. Through the program, Stratus offers third parties platform pricing, Embedded Services, training, and certification as they incorporate Edge Computing to differentiate their solutions, deliver valuable low-risk implementations for customers, and create new business and revenue sources.
“OEMs, Machine Builders, and Solution Builders have a tremendous opportunity to solve their customers’ challenges around remote operation, OT and IT convergence, and automation. Stratus Edge Computing is one of the fastest ways for organizations to quickly and reliably transform existing infrastructure or bring smart, connected products to market,” said Aric Prost, Senior Director of OEM Business at Stratus. “Our new program provides the economics that VARs require to embed Stratus Edge Computing into their offerings at scale as well as the resources and support they need for customer success. Our program directly supports third parties in using Edge Computing to develop and deliver a wide range of high-value capabilities and generate new revenue.”“Stratus is a visionary in meeting the needs of machine builders who need to develop new offerings for Industry 4.0 environments and IIoT technology. Stratus Edge Computing gives us the ability to bring our customers there. Stratus’ unique box of available technology – virtualization, redundancy, protection, security, customizable availability, and industrial interoperability – is a leap forward over traditional IPCs and server configurations,” added Michele Vario, OEM and Business Development Director, Wonderware Italia.Accelerating Development of Edge Computing-based SolutionsAcross industries, organizations face the need to transform legacy architectures, capture and secure data, and continuously run business-critical applications at the operational edge. Stratus’ program for VARs – OEMs, Machine Builders, and Solution Builders – presents an accessible way to bring simple, protected, and autonomous zero-touch Edge Computing to their customers, and lowers the barrier to developing smart, connected products, product-as-a-service models, or purpose-built automation solutions that converge OT and IT.The Stratus VAR Program provides partners with the means to integrate Stratus platforms to deliver new edge capabilities or capabilities that were previously too complicated to add to existing machines and equipment. Additionally, teams are able to save significant time in setting up and deploying solutions with plug-and-play integration to existing architectures. The program also ensures that platforms may be purchased at a price within the VAR’s budget to deliver reliable technology to customers at scale.
