I need to protect applications from downtime.
You’ve come to the right place. Thousands of organizations use the everRun software to ensure application availability. We can protect your business-critical applications from any downtime or data loss – for a lot less money and resources than you might expect. everRun® software is the most reliable, affordable choice for continuous application availability -- software that helps you prevent outages or data loss, instead of recovering after it’s too late.
Here’s an Example- Application Availability
Abercrombie & Fitch, a leading apparel retailer for men’s, women’s and kid’s casual clothes and accessories, uses everRun software in their distribution centers to protect their critical monitoring and alarming applications, as well as to ensure non-stop operation of their sortation system. Since implementing everRun they hadn’t any downtime for the applications everRun protects.
“Every minute counts when you are managing a large number of buildings and pieces of equipment,” said Craig Moore, Senior Manager of Facilities, Abercrombie & Fitch. “We rely on our graphic system monitor on a daily basis for automatic alarm notification to manage campus buildings and run the distribution centers efficiently. We cannot afford for our graphic system monitor to go down – it is our eyes and ears for the operation 24/7.”
Craig and his team began searching for a solution that could continuously protect Abercrombie & Fitch’s critical monitoring and alarming applications, thus ensuring application availability. According to Moore, “We were looking for a solution with real-time synchronization that would not let us down.” After a detailed evaluation process, Abercrombie & Fitch and Dematic selected everRun®, Marathon’s automated high availability software, to protect the graphic system monitor and to meet the campus’ high availability requirements.
“Marathon’s everRun software met our needs better than anything else we evaluated. Its real-time synchronization ensures that even in the event of a hardware failure, our conveyer and sorting systems would operate uninterrupted - without any loss of critical trend data,” said Moore.
Following the successful implementation of everRun with the graphic system monitor, Moore realized their sorting system needed the same application availability protection. The sortation systems were running on redundant systems with a shared disk array that made them vulnerable to downtime and data loss. “Similar to having two cars and one engine, once the engine goes down, neither of the cars can run. If sortation system’s shared disk array went down, we could not sort product,” added Moore.
Moore began a complete system upgrade to the distribution center’s warehouse control system using the everRun software to ensure 100 percent availability of the sorting systems.
Today, Abercrombie & Fitch uses Marathon’s everRun software to support approximately 60,000 data points critical to the retailer’s manufacturing facilities, including 14 office buildings, two mechanical buildings and the two central distribution centers. Since implementing Marathon’s everRun solution, Abercrombie & Fitch has experienced zero server downtime throughout its campus.
“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 solution,” said Moore. “Marathon’s software was everything we thought it was – and more. It’s been a great partnership. When we’ve needed it, we’ve always got great support from Marathon.”
