Microsoft and Marathon Technologies have entered into a development and marketing agreement designed to address the fault tolerant and high-availability computing needs for business customers running Windows Server-based applications in enterprise information technology departments and data centres.
This expanded relationship with Microsoft will help provide customers with practical fault tolerance for Windows Server 2008Gary Phillips, Marathon Technologies The collaboration focuses on three areas: to help provide customers who deploy Windows Server 2008 and Marathon everRun software to extend high-availability protection to their critical applications; to provide customers with the ability to select the appropriate level of availability, from failover clustering all the way up to system fault tolerance, for each application; and to help customers deploy a future version of Microsoft’s hypervisor-based virtualisation technology (Hyper-V), to use Marathon everRun for a fault-tolerant virtual infrastructure.
“Marathon has been working for years to take the complexity and cost out of fault tolerant computing to bring business resilience to the mainstream,” said Gary Phillips, company president and CEO. “This expanded relationship with Microsoft will help provide customers with practical fault tolerance for Windows Server 2008 today and for those customers wishing to consolidate mission critical, Windows-based applications on Hyper-V in the future.”
