Faced with increasing call volumes and the need to consolidate multiple services within one dispatch operation, these organizations look to Stratus to ensure that their computer-aided dispatch services are running 24 hours per day, every day. With these continuously available servers, these organizations are assured nearly 100 percent uptime, guaranteeing that their operations will be available to their communities around the clock. Our entire city operations depend on the Stratus and Tiburon solution. It consolidated these communications systems to take advantage of new technologies, leverage resources, and help ensure city-wide coordination when needed.
Reliability is our main concern.
Stratus systems are proven to provide the levels of reliability we need. Unlike high-availability cluster solutions, the Stratus Continuum platform is easy to maintain and offers a unique ability for users to easily replace or upgrade system components online without experiencing any downtime or degradation in performance. When the cost of downtime is too high to measure such as in E-911 environments, where a moment of downtime could put people and property at risk this level of serviceability is mandatory. The move to Stratus cut our CPU maintenance costs in half. The beauty of the Stratus architecture is that no special skills or tools are needed for most maintenance.
