HoST began its humble beginnings in 1990 as an electrical component distributor. We have diversified our distribution portfolio along the way, taking on complete automation and electrical distribution. HoST carries a diverse range of products, enabling us to serve a variety of industries, including oil and gas, marine, pharmaceutical, and semiconductor.
HoST, as a significant partner of Stratus Technologies in Singapore, is typically very aligned with the objectives of the Singapore government. If you look at the market and the fact that the government is promoting electric vehicles as one of the industries, you can see how this could work very well for HoST. Energy, particularly renewable energy, will be the other industry. This is another critical focus not only for the government but also for the overall industry.
The other area in which they believe they can work closely with HoST is in the OEM, value-added reseller space, where we envision solutions providers bundling our stratus solutions into a larger scheme of our solutions before shipping them to their customers. With the evolution of industrial 4.0, data was identified as a critical factor in enabling businesses to begin their digital transformation journey.
As a result, such a vital database mustn’t become compromised. This is where it was determined that the stratus server portfolio would be a critical piece of the industrial 4.0 puzzle, thus jumping on board. Trust and communication are the keys to a successful partnership with Stratus. Transparency in communications enables the identification of the best course of action.
HoST is Stratus master distributor in the Singapore region. We work closely together to ensure that customers receive the best service possible from both manufacturers and distributors. HoST aspires to be the South East Asia region’s best distributor. “With Stratus we are always on.” ~ Darren Koh.
