I need high availability and data recovery, but we don’t have a big IT staff
Fault tolerance for the rest of us. You don’t need a big IT staff or availability experts to implement continuous availability and immediate disaster recovery. everRun levels the field when it comes to high availability, making advanced fault tolerance practical for a wide range of businesses. In fact over 1200 midsize and smaller companies around the globe use everRun for high availability and disaster recovery because it doesn’t require a big IT staff to manage.
With automated setup and configuration, you can deploy everRun in 30 minutes or less. It monitors and adjusts to changes in your system environment, replicates data, and automatically fails over critical applications without outages when needed – all without IT intervention.
Lean IT + everRun = Zero Downtime
The Sullivan Group is a Human Resources Outsourcing (HRO) company focused on supporting small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs). Itself a small business with two IT administrators, The Sullivan Group relies on everRun to deliver constant uptime for its customer applications.
“With our business located on the coast in Savannah, GA, we are always planning for hurricanes, storms and floods throughout the year, which can threaten the integrity of data stored and managed in an unprotected data center. It is critical that our clients and their employees have continuous access to their necessary human resources documents including payroll information, tax filings and medical benefits to avoid compliance penalties. We needed a solution that would provide us with the utmost protection of our clients’ critical data,” said Erika Simpson, Network Administrator, The Sullivan Group.
The Sullivan Group turned to Marathon everRun and Citrix XenServer. everRun delivers reliable protection for critical virtual workloads by providing redundant virtual machines and synchronized mirroring of the entire system including network, applications and data. The integration of Citrix XenServer “bare-metal” performance and everRun’s automated high availability software permits smaller companies like The Sullivan Group with the security to run business critical and other high-value applications in virtual environments.
Since implementing Citrix XenServer and Marathon’s everRun, the company has had zero downtime, even during a significant failure. “We experienced a hardware failure about two weeks after installing everRun where the entire server went down, but our customers never knew it occurred because of Marathon’s everRun technology. Marathon ensured there was an uninterrupted end user experience in spite of component failures,” added Simpson.
Make everRun Part of your IT Team
With automated, software-based fault tolerance, everRun fits easily into your IT infrastructure. Pick the availability level you need for each critical application, according to business needs and budget. Use existing storage and off-the-shelf hardware. Once you set it up, everRun watches over your critical applications and data. You can rest assured that if failures occur, everRun will spring into action, automatically.
