Marathon everRun® VM: -World’s First Fault-Tolerant, High Availability Software for Server Virtualization


Background:
Server virtualization brings many benefits including better server utilization, lower capital and operating expenses, and greater flexibility to meet business needs. But virtualization also brings new challenges, including an increased need for rock-solid availability. Why? Because server consolidation results in the server becoming the single point of failure for multiple applications. It’s the ‘all your eggs in one basket’ scenario.

The Pain:
Though many would like to leverage the benefits of deploying mission critical applications such as Windows SQL and Exchange in a virtual environment, most are hesitant due to the following:

  • Concerns about reliability of running business critical and business productivity applications in virtual machines.
  • Frustration with resource intensiveness, complexity and costs of most of today’s high availability offerings
    for server virtualization.
  • Perceived lack of a true ZERO Downtime solution for virtualized x86 servers.

The Solution:
everRun VM by Marathon Technologies delivers reliable protection for critical virtual workloads by providing redundant virtual machines and synchronized mirroring of the entire system – network, applications and data. No application downtime. No data loss. The integration of Citrix XenServer’s superior “baremetal” performance and everRun VM’s unique software fault-tolerant architecture gives customers the confidence to run Windows business critical applications SQL, CRM and Exchange in virtual machines.

everRun VM can even move beyond local protection by enabling fault tolerance between locations up to 100 miles apart. everRun VM includes SplitSite® which can automatically ensure your essential applications are still available from a different location even when a whole site is down. With SplitSite you can ensure that you still meet compliance and production requirements even if your primary data center is hit with a disaster.
