Stratus Technologies opens Dubai office

Leverages Middle East partner network for increased growth.

Johannesburg, 24 Jun 2011

Stratus Technologies announced today the opening of an office in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, its first company-operated office in the Middle East.

“This is a strategic investment for Stratus, in a region of the world poised for high growth,” said Stratus President and CEO, David Laurello. “The information technology business in the Middle East is forecast to significantly outpace other regions of the world. Establishing an official company presence in the country and region demonstrates an increased and continuing commitment to serving customers there.”

Stratus has conducted business in the Middle East for more than 20 years through a network of partners and distributors, as it does throughout Europe, Africa and Asia/Pacific. The company has sales and service centres in major cities around the world to support its customers and partners.

Approximately 60% of the company's annual revenue is generated outside the United States. Last year Stratus also opened offices in India and South Korea.

Two core markets are manufacturing operations and electronic payment processing, both having strong market potential in the Middle East. Other key industries include travel, transportation and logistics, financial services, banking, healthcare, and public safety.
