Falmouth, MA, like many smaller communities, faced specific challenges when confronting the need to modernize the town’s water system. Learn how they evaluated which combination of technologies would create the results they needed.

The Industrial Internet of Things kicked off the smart manufacturing revolution, but there is still much more to be accomplished. By embracing digital transformation, organizations can reap the benefits of the intelligent edge.

It seems digital transformation is on everyone’s agenda, but not everyone agrees on what digital transformation means. How do you know if your efforts are truly effective, or if what you’re really working on is digital optimization?

While complete infrastructure upgrades are long, expensive projects, modern tech and automation systems can yield important improvements. SCADA systems assets are at the heart of these improvements and must be protected from unplanned downtime or data loss in order to realize the full benefit that these upgrades can offer.

As another wonderful year at Stratus comes to a close, we take a look back at some of the exciting events we’ve attended. Here are the highlights of the 4th annual Smart Industry conference in Chicago, IL in late September.

Avoiding downtime is a huge motivator for companies embarking on the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and can pay big benefits for organizations that do it right. Here are four best practices about keeping your eyes on uptime as you embark on IIoT.

In this second article in our virtualization series, we take a closer look the benefits of virtualization, especially how it can provide the perfect solution for desktop environments.

This first article in our new virtualization series details the evolution of this technology while highlighting the importance of hardware and availability.

Large Fortune 500 companies with deep pockets are investing in IIoT technologies. These projects are yielding results, although implementations are not without their challenges. An increasing number of industrial companies are looking at ways to leverage analytics, outside of the traditional applications that helped them on the production side. Some have a clear idea of what they want to achieve, some are trying to understand what various technologies could do for them. What does seem clear is that some form of IT/OT convergence and collaboration is necessary to achieve success.

There was a point in our history when experiencing unexpected downtime was considered unavoidable. Back in 1996, the primary internet provider AOL, went offline for 19 hours. The outage inconvenienced more than 6 million subscribers and was a wake-up call for organizations that had come to depend on the connectivity to earn money. So how do you make sure downtime, the thing that is never supposed to happen, never does happen? Start by asking the right questions before making any initial purchases or upgrades to your system.
