Mahindra Satyam in tie-up with Stratus Tech

Mahindra Satyam on Monday entered into a global partnership with US-based Stratus Technologies to jointly provide consulting, products and services in uptime assurance management.

Stratus provides technology solutions to reduce downtime or the outage of critical applications. It has National Stock Exchange of India, New York Stock Exchange, Shanghai Stock Exchange and Amex as its customers.

“What this (uptime assurance) means is that there are several critical applications in every industry the outage of which will result in business loss. For example, in a stock exchange if systems are down for one hour then it's a loss of an hour's trading. Stratus provides technology solutions which are contemporary and go beyond the old fault tolerant systems,” said CS Nair, Mahindra Satyam vice president and global alliances manager, in a conference call on Monday.

Satyam plans to leverage its position in the enterprise application software space, and target customers who are looking to modernise their ERP environments, said Nair.
