Fault tolerance for x86 server virtualization is one area where VMware can’t claim dominance across the server virtualization marketplace. The combination of Citrix XenServer and Marathon everRun is not only on par, but a step ahead of VMware’s current solutions.

everRun VM for Citrix XenServer: Add fault tolerance to your virtual servers

Using virtualization to consolidate servers also consolidates risk to applications. A single physical component failure can knock out many applications in virtual servers.

The integration of Marathon’s multi-award winning everRun® software and Citrix XenServer leap-frogs other offerings for high availability virtualization. Now you can get reliable high availability virtualization solutions and virtualization without complexity.

Run Business Critical Applications - And More - In Virtual Machines

everRun delivers reliable protection for critical applications like Exchange, SQL, SharePoint, and Citrix XenApp by providing fault tolerance for virtual servers and synchronized mirroring of your network, storage and data - preventing application downtime and data loss.

The integration of Citrix XenServer's superior "bare-metal" performance and everRun automated software fault-tolerant architecture gives you the high availability XenServer required to run business critical and mission critical applications in virtual machines - so you can gain the benefits of server virtualization across a much broader range of applications.

Get Instant High Availability Virtualization Availability with everRun

Automated setup and configuration eliminates the manual configuration other high availability solutions require. Point to the VM you want to protect, and everRun's setup wizard does the rest. You can fully deploy XenServer and everRun from bare metal in 30 minutes or less. everRun has been designed and tested to work with the latest versions of Citrix XenServer:

  • Enterprise-Class, Cloud-Proven, Free XenServer
  • Essentials for XenServer, Enterprise Edition
  • Essentials for XenServer, Platinum Edition

Automate Virtual Server High Availability

everRun’s automated fault detection and management continuously monitors your system, network and disk I/O resources, adjusting protection to problems or changes in your environment. It detects and addresses failures automatically – practically maintaining itself. It’s so automated, many companies use everRun at branch locations where there is no local IT presence.

Select Availability Levels by VM

Pick the level you need for each virtual machine workload from a single interface—aligning availability with your budget and resources.

“everRun is a game changing availability offering that allows XenServer customers to tailor the level of availability per virtual machine."
- Simon Crosby, Citrix, CTO Virtualization & Management Division

Protect Any Windows Server Application Running in a VM

everRun VM is application independent. It works with any 32-bit and 64-bit Windows Server application, on Windows Server 2003 or 2008, using standard, off-the-shelf hardware and storage.

Get Continuous Availability between Data Centers

everRun SplitSite® option goes beyond local server-level protection by enabling continuous availability between geographically dispersed locations. With SplitSite you can ensure that you still meet compliance and production requirements even if your primary data center is hit with a metropolitan-wide disaster. Geographic fault tolerance enables continuous operations even when a whole site is down.
