Fault tolerance for SERVER virtualisation

Brand new and exciting ‘High Availability’ Virtual server software product from Marathon Technologies that leap-frogs other high availability offerings for server virtualization and delivers a significant improvement in protection levels at a much lower cost and with greater ease of management.
 

Virtualisation brings many IT benefits: better server utilisation, Lower capital and operational expenses and a greater flexibility to meet business needs, however Virtualisation also brings with it some unintended consequences.

One of these consequences is that virtualisation dramatically increases the need for server reliability. Because server consolidation can result in the server becoming a single point of failure for multiple applications, the implication of downtime are much greater.With VMware ESX and Microsoft’s hypervisor, hardware fault tolerance for the Virtual environment is usually achieved by clustering or other similar technologies which are cumbersome, require complex scripting and expensive maintenance, but Marathon everRun VM bridges the gap between Virtualisation and availability by being cost effective, simple and reliable, while offering unprecedented levels of availability for business critical applications in virtual environments. 

With Marathon everRun VM architecture you can reap the benefits of server consolidation and rationalisation whilst remaining 100% fault tolerant.

1/. Performance: Using Citrix XenServer Enterprise Edition 4 ( XenServer v4) which uses hardware-assisted virtualisation on Intel® VT and AMD® Virtualisation (AMD-V™) platforms delivering performance nearing bare-metal levels and supporting both 32 and 64-bit environments.

2/. Openness: The open source Xen hypervisor has broad industry support and participation.

3/. Simplicity: XenServer v4 is a lightweight solution that is simple to install and use.
