Maynard, Mass. And Shanghai, China, 07 Apr 2017
Stratus Technologies, the leading provider of continuous availability solutions, and Shanghai Hi-tech Control System Co (HITE), today announced the expansion of a 12-year strategic partnership between the two companies to deliver continuous availability solutions to the Chinese market.
Stratus CEO David Laurello and HITE CEO Guo Meng Rong commemorated the agreement at a signing ceremony on 31 March 2017, at HITE's headquarters in Shanghai.
"Companies worldwide want to add automation at the edge leveraging IIOT, but are finding it challenging to make the shift due to the complexity of managing many devices, and the lack of IT skills at remote locations to handle potential issues. This is where Stratus comes in by removing this complexity with never fail availability solutions," said Laurello. "The continuation of our partnership with HITE represents a significant milestone in leveraging our software to bring these new availability solutions to a region like China that is experiencing substantial growth."
HITE, a leading company in the industrial control market and provider of integrated industrial automation solutions, has customers across manufacturing, energy, chemicals, metallurgy, mining, transporation and more sectors throughout China. HITE is among Stratus's most important strategic partners and has been the recipient of numerous business excellence awards in China.
"HITE has built an excellent reputation across so many different businesses and industries, and it is that reputation that has really driven Stratus's ability to bring these advanced industrial automation solutions to such a strong market," said Nick Nindra, Vice-President of Sales and Services for Stratus Technologies Asia Pacific and Japan. "We're very fortunate to have such a long-standing and collaborative relationship with a partner like HITE and are looking forward to building on the success we have achieved with them to date."
"Our customers across China stand to benefit greatly from what we have found to be an incredibly productive partnership with Stratus over the past 12 years," said Guo Meng Rong, CEO of HITE. "We are continually working to provide more value to our customers, and Stratus's continuous availability solutions allow us to offer new approaches to availability for our industrial automation applications and IIOT solutions."
