“It just works.” That’s what we hear from everRun® high availability solutions customers and partners all the time. Here is just a sampling of other comments from some of our more enthusiastic everRun users.
Manufacturing
“Marathon’s everRun software was the only solution that had exactly what I needed right out of the box, including FT support for multi-processors, easy snapshot capabilities and the freedom to choose the hardware that best fit my applications and environment. In addition, the automated failover and synching features are essential for my manufacturing environment, staffed mostly by non-IT employees, where manual failover solutions are not practical. After evaluating the everRun solution, I didn’t need to look any further.”
- Mike Rische, Senior Electrical Project Engineer of PPG Industries
