Live mini-factory demonstration with smart manufacturing stack to highlight pre-validated cybersecurity solutions on the Stratus ztC Edge platform

MAYNARD, Mass.: $PENG #AutomationFair--Stratus® Technologies, a Penguin Solutions (Nasdaq: PENG) brand and a global leader in simplified, protected, and autonomous computing platforms, today announced its participation at Rockwell Automation’s Automation Fair, November 18-21 in Anaheim, CA. In addition to showcasing its fault tolerant, zero-touch computing platforms, Stratus will join a panel session on critical infrastructure and demonstrate several partnerships and collaborations. This includes pre-validated cybersecurity applications from Fortinet, Claroty, and Rockwell Automation—all of which run on Stratus platforms—as well as teaming with Conperio to present a live mini-factory demonstration.

“Automation Fair helps companies discover and evaluate solutions for optimizing operations and achieving productivity, sustainability, and resiliency objectives. This year, Stratus experts will be on hand to discuss best practices for deploying cybersecurity solutions and the importance of edge-to-cloud in manufacturing in realizing these goals,” said Mike Wurster, director, strategic alliances at Stratus. “Working with Rockwell Automation, we are delivering solutions that save time, enable rapid deployment, simplify management, and ensure continuous data and application availability.”

Validated Partner Solutions on Display

Stratus will highlight its ztC Edge™ platform running best-of-breed cybersecurity applications to deliver enhanced security, enable fast deployment, and streamline workload consolidation for industrial automation environments. Fortinet’s firewall, Claroty’s threat detection solution, and Rockwell Automation PlantPAx's advanced process control all leverage Stratus’ built-in virtualization and fault-tolerance to deliver seamless, secure, and downtime-free automation that boosts productivity and operational efficiency.

Stratus will also be collaborating with Rockwell Gold System Integrator, Conperio, in booth #1242 to present a live mini-factory demonstration illustrating how Rockwell’s software installed on the ztC Edge platform effectively addresses critical manufacturing challenges. By leveraging data to optimize production processes and enhance product quality, the combined solution delivers real-time manufacturing performance within a downtime-free environment.

Discussion on the Importance of Fault Tolerant, Zero-Touch Computing in Critical Infrastructure

Mike Wurster, director, strategic alliances at Stratus, will join David Nolan, senior application engineer at SmartSights in a session to discuss efforts to ensure the reliability and security of critical infrastructure.

• Session Title: Decisive Factors Surrounding Solution Design and Adoption for Critical Infrastructure Sector Environments
• Day/Time: Wednesday, November 20 at 3:00 p.m. PT
• Location: Room 204B
• Session Overview: Critical Infrastructure sectors stand as the backbone of our nation, catering to resource needs ranging from local municipalities to federal entities. The reliability and security of these systems are not just important, they are essential. A disruption in these sectors could lead to significant impacts on national security, economy, public health, and safety, etc. This panel discussion will delve into the crucial role of solution selection in ensuring the reliability, resilience, and security of critical infrastructure environments.​
