Stratus Technologies announced a technology partnership with FogHorn Systems, a developer of “edge intelligence” software for industrial and commercial Internet of Things applications. The partnership is intended to bring continuously available and operationally simple edge computing analytics and infrastructure to the IIoT market. As part of this agreement, Stratus and FogHorn will offer a combined solution of the Stratus ftServer and FogHorn Lightning ML platform that will help manufacturers to power and protect their mission-critical IIoT compute infrastructures and better capitalize on their IIoT data.
Evolving industrial environments not only present challenges to traditional methods of data collection and analysis, but the criticality of real-time processes and data analytics also results in the need for 100 percent availability at the edge for decision making and optimal operations. The combination of Stratus always-on solutions with FogHorn’s analytics platform is designed to help address these concerns with more advanced monitoring and diagnostics, machine performance optimization, proactive maintenance and operational intelligence, protecting and further optimizing today’s 24x7 industrial automation systems.
