Big-Time Availability for SMBs
Marathon Technologies provides expert, automated application availability for IT-constrained environments like small and mid-sized businesses.
everRun® deploys in as little as 30 minutes and does not require specialized IT skills or equipment. With no IT intervention, everRun monitors and adjusts to changes in the system environment, replicates data, and keeps critical applications running without outages, freeing your staff to work on other projects.
everRun + Lean IT = 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, Georgia, 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 disaster recovery and high availability software provides 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 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.
