EverRun MX

EverRun MX – fault-tolerant the software for symmetric multiprocessor and multinuclear servers and applications.

EverRun MX deletes barriers on the ways to ensuring continuous operability of software caused by a high ratio the price performance. It saves from need of technology compromises and opens for any organization, irrespective of its size, a possibility of achievement of the availability quotient, highest in the world. By software of everRun MX it is constructed on the basis of the ComputeThru technology checked by time which protects critical applications of thousands of organizations worldwide today.

Key features of everRun MX:

• high availability quotient of applications thanks to prevention of their idle times instead of use of traditional recovery tools of applications. The complete non-failure operation in symmetric multiprocessor and multinuclear architecture together with redundancy of servers reduces the risks connected with restart of systems, virtual machines and data recovery;
• has no restrictions on the hardware, works on industrial servers and does not use the specialized equipment thanks to what allows to use immediately advantages of new products of the hardware and saves complete freedom of choice of the server;
• provides natural scaling, works with any applications, irrespective of computing requirements. Does not require setup of levels of applications or creation of difficult scenarios that is characteristic of traditional means of ensuring of high readiness;
• completely automated and selfrepair software. Functioning of everRun MX does not require operator intervention, products with the Marathon trademark are ideal in cases when there are restrictions for the number of employees or access to an object.

everRun MX 6.1

Key features of the new version of everRun® MX 6.1: -

• the performance improvement reached including, due to optimization of work of disk and network subsystems, network drives;
• expansion of a range of the equipment checked for compatibility with everRun® MX that gives almost complete freedom of choice of the hardware of a failsafe system;
• implementation of support of Dell OpenManage, Fujitsu ServerView and HP Insight Manager;
• optimization of an algorithm of ensuring fault tolerance of the operating system and applications;
• improvement of scalability and controllability.

Ratio the price/performance and price/fault tolerance of the everRun MX 6.1 system makes it available to the small and medium enterprises which breaks in work of IT infrastructure are not less critical, than for the large companies.

Most the large modern companies, whether it be bank, industrial enterprise or the transport hub, represent complex distributed system. The set of divisions of such companies performing different functions are connected in a whole by IT infrastructure. This part of a system does modern the enterprise flexible, manageable, well protected and quickly reacting to changes of the external environment.

When reliability is necessary as air

In structure of the organization the set of systems, different to destination and to functional features which integrates one – the requirement to stable and trouble-free operation meets. Among them there are control systems of access, video surveillance, the engineering systems of buildings (ventilation, water supply, heating, the fire warning) and also means of processing of commercial and financial information. For such systems the continuity of processes, safety of data, fault tolerance and disaster tolerance are very critical. And this statement is applicable not only for the central office or large branches of the enterprise, but also for small divisions.

Idle times cost much

Experts counted, for example, that the simple IT-system of the small bank department having average income 4 million rubles a month costs 182 thousand rubles a day. It is only real loss connected with a stop of financial transactions. And, respectively, the enterprise, the more its turnover and profit is larger, - the it is more losses. At the same time in the stated above calculations indirect losses, such as loss of the customers who left to the working competitor, problems in timely execution of the reporting and carrying out bank transactions, loss of reputation of the reliable partner, etc. are not considered. In an example it is also supposed that service of IT infrastructure is conducted by technically competent personnel, and all measures excluding loss of crucial information are taken.

From accidents nobody is insured

The simple analysis shows that business activity of any enterprise can be interrupted for the most different reasons: because of failure of life support systems, problems with turnover of finance, natural and technogenic catastrophes, actions of malefactors and, at last, hardware failures, entering information systems. Many of these problems have special relevance in our country because of the thriving bureaucracy, insufficient discipline on places and also embezzlement of public funds and corruption. Newsfeeds daily inform us on a building collapse, breaks of heating mains, the major and small fire and many other technogenic catastrophes. Occurs the small accidents which are not covered in the press and on television such as the burst pipe over the server premises, short circuit in an electrical wiring or the failed conditioning system at the height of a July heat even more.

The complexity in mitigation of consequences of such accidents is also that to predict all possible scenarios on each of the specified cases impracticablly. It is even more difficult to expect how at first sight noncritical failures on each of these directions which occurred at the same time can lead to severe violation of business continuity and financial losses.

The market selects the most resistant

Ensuring business continuity turns into ensuring its stability at which flexible IT infrastructure allows the organization to recover work after any failures in real time, without interruption of the work. Such infrastructure will provide to all employees, partners and other concerned parties access to any information necessary for accomplishment of important business operations. In case of emergency remote access, heterogeneous communication environments, wireless technologies will immediately turn from means of maintenance of full-time job into the means supporting functioning of the organization during accident, failure or accident. This requirement becomes more and more extended in today's quickly changing, highly competitive world of business.

Now we provide practical implementation of complete solutions on creation of failsafe information systems based on a number of software products of company Marathon Technologies Corporation, Inc. * This software allows to build highly protected solutions using the normal server hardware of the suppliers admitted to the companies. Use the usual Microsoft Windows Server operating systems and standard applications written for them without any alterations and modifications.

Investments which pay off

High cost otkazo-and the disaster-proof solutions which are especially providing a zero downtime it becomes frequent the reason for which customers refuse them even at the price of considerable losses as business. The majority of similar solutions requires use of the expensive equipment, the special software and processing of existing applications. As a result the similar systems were available to very large companies and only to very responsible applications.

Use of the software of everRun® from Marathon Technologies company allowed to make for the first time for all history of development of the similar systems them available to the small and medium companies, branches and departments of the large companies, the separate systems, such as security systems, video surveillance and access control, operating rooms and trading floors, warehouses, logistics, etc. So everywhere where earlier use of these systems was economically inexpedient.

Entry into the market of the software of everRun® of Marathon Technologies company gave the chance of creation on its basis of the productive systems with rather low cost and the high level of security. All this does systems on the basis of everRun® very attractive to many famous developers of complete solutions worldwide. It is used in the solutions by such large producers of the integrated systems as Bosh, Siemens, Rockwell Automation, MAN IT Services and many others.
