Marathon Technologies Tackles Continuous Data Protection


LITTLETON, Mass., Dec. 3 -- Marathon Technologies Corp., the leading provider of automated, fault tolerant-class availability solutions for virtual and physical environments, today announced the launch of everRun CDP. The new software complements Marathon's everRun family of proven availability software by extending the breadth of protection to remote locations. Marathon's everRun software dramatically reduces or eliminates downtime due to system, storage or network connection failures. everRun CDP provides added protection from catastrophic failure by capturing and replicating application data across any distance, in real-time.

Unlike traditional data protection and replication software than can leave gaps in data protection, everRun CDP ensures uninterrupted data protection. This powerful but easy to use software allows IT managers to quickly and simply recover data from any point in time. everRun CDP ensures that the application data is safe, up to date and readily available at a remote location hundreds or thousands of miles away.

"everRun CDP extends everRun protection across the country or the globe," said Jerry Melnick, chief technology officer at Marathon Technologies. "Recovering data and transactions is as simple as selecting the time you want to 'roll back' to, and everRun CDP presents a copy of your data precisely as it looked at that point."

everRun CDP, which is available now, integrates seamlessly with standard server, storage and network environments and includes application-specific options for Microsoft Exchange, SQL Server and SharePoint.

Marathon's everRun line of fault tolerant-class software products protects Microsoft Windows applications from leading sources of downtime while eliminating the need for costly and complex failover processes, specialized applications, or proprietary server hardware. Turnkey, automated, and simplicity are the cornerstones of the everRun line, which uses embedded intelligent policy management to prevent application downtime. The primary benefit to the end user is that they are protecting their business by ensuring continuity of operations -- simply, at low cost and with complete confidence. Network World recently named Marathon Technologies one of "ten virtualization companies to watch."

CometCloud: Using a Federated HPC-Cloud to Understand Fluid Flow in Microchannels

The ever-growing complexity of scientific and engineering problems continues to pose new computational challenges. Thus, we present a novel federation model that enables end-users with the ability to aggregate heterogeneous resource scale problems. The feasibility of this federation model has been proven, in the context of the UberCloud HPC Experiment, by gathering the most comprehensive information to date on the effects of pillars on microfluid channel flow.
