Stratus Networks Wins 2026 TMC Communications Solutions Product of the Year Award for FLEX Cloud

Award highlights Stratus FLEX Cloud's role helping companies modernize infrastructure with predictable costs, simplicity, and enterprise-grade reliability

PEORIA, IL, UNITED STATES, August 13, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Stratus Networks, a leading provider of digital infrastructure and business network solutions, today announced that FLEX Cloud has received the 2026 TMC Communications Solutions Product of the Year Award. Now in its 28th year, the award recognizes products and services that are transforming how organizations connect through voice, data, and video while honoring innovation that advances the communications industry.

FLEX Cloud was recognized for its simplified approach to enterprise-grade cloud infrastructure. Designed for organizations ranging from small businesses to large enterprises, FLEX Cloud provides a fast, practical path to the cloud while helping customers avoid rising hardware and licensing costs. It also offers a strong alternative to hyperscale cloud service offerings, combining predictable monthly pricing, resilient infrastructure, integrated business continuity capabilities, and direct engineering support that reduces the burden on internal IT resources.

As organizations reevaluate virtualization and cloud strategies in response to evolving licensing models and rising costs, many are seeking solutions that provide greater spending control and operational simplicity. FLEX Cloud enables businesses to modernize on their own terms without the complexity often associated with hyperscale cloud providers, providing a practical path forward while reducing operational burden.

"We're honored to receive this recognition from TMC because it validates the approach we've taken with FLEX Cloud," said Darren Feder, Chief Executive Officer of Stratus Networks. “Our customers are telling us they want the benefits of cloud infrastructure without unpredictable costs or unnecessary complexity. FLEX Cloud was built around that need. This award is also a reflection of our engineering and support teams, who have a proven track record of pairing great technology with the level of service and accountability that our customers expect from Stratus.”

“On behalf of TMC and TMCnet editors, we are honored to recognize Stratus Networks as a winner of the 2026 Communications Solutions Products of the Year Awards,” said Rich Tehrani, TMC’s CEO and Group Editor-in-Chief. “FLEX Cloud is truly innovative, and deserves to be included amongst the best communications products and services available on the market today. I look forward to continued excellence from Stratus in 2026 and beyond.”

Earlier this year, Stratus Networks earned the 2026 Stevie^® Award for Customer Service Department of the Year in Telecommunications, recognizing its industry-leading customer experience and support organization. Together, these honors reinforce the company’s commitment to delivering innovative technology backed by exceptional service, demonstrating that lasting customer success depends on both the strength of the solution and the team behind it.
