Distribution
“Since implementing everRun over two years ago, we've had 100% server uptime and no data loss on the systems we are running Marathon's solutions.”
- Craig Moore, Senior Manager of Facilities, Abercrombie & Fitch
Keeping the supply chain running is essential to keeping revenue coming in – when distribution stops, revenue drops.

From retail to pharmaceutical distribution to logistics and shipping, everRun delivers application availability and data protection. Marathon's innovative ComputeThru™ technology provides fault tolerance to ensures that applications remain operational even when networks, components or entire servers fail.
Abercrombie & Fitch: A Good Fit
Buy a shirt at an Abercrombie & Fitch store in the US and it's already traveled a distance. Before it reaches the fitting room, it has navigated the 23 miles of conveyors, sorting systems and materials handling systems at one of the company's distribution centers. Two centers distribute clothing and accessories to more than 1,000 stores in North America – a complex task in a time-sensitive market.
The company uses Marathon everRun high availability solutions to keep the monitoring and Human Machine Interface applications running efficiently and safely, without costly downtime. Read the Abercrombie & Fitch case study.
