Federal Government

Federal government agencies must be ready and able to provide Continuity of Operations (COOP) across a variety of disruptive events—from minor system failures and cyber-threats to natural disasters and acts of terrorism.

An effective COOP plan requires agencies:

• Ensure essential applications remain accessible to employees and constituents – at all times
• Safeguard vital agency data against natural and man-made disasters
• Develop the infrastructure to respond with limited onsite resources
• Execute all of the above in the most cost-effective and people-effective manner

Automated COOP Availability

Marathon’s everRunTM software enables federal agencies to improve the availability of essential systems by eliminating the costs and complexities usually associated with availability solutions. Whether you are an application developer for the federal government, or an IT manager responsible for critical agency applications, everRun offers high availability, even continuous availability, for standard, unmodified Windows applications running on standard x86 server hardware.

Federal agencies are using everRun to gain these unique advantages:
