Altara Networking Solutions Announces Partnership with NeverFail; Introduces New Disaster Recovery Offering for the Microsoft Technology Platform

In our ongoing efforts to provide our clients with industry leading disaster recovery solutions, Altara Networking Solutions is proud to announce our partnership with the NeverFail Group.

How much would it cost your company if a critical business application such as Microsoft Exchange, or a SQL Server-based application such as Sales Automation, or Help Desk became inaccessible for several hours?

You could quantify the costs of the IT resources necessary to maintain the server environment and perform the disaster recovery. However, losses in employee productivity, profitability, missed sales opportunities and the damage to customer confidence are immeasurable.

Today, every company recognizes the downsides of downtime: significant productivity and profitability losses, but until now, businesses had limited choices among solutions that protect against downtime, either because of their cost or their complexity.

Traditional data replication is affordable, but only offers access to a real-time copy of the data in the event of a failure and doesn’t address availability factors necessary for keeping the user connected to the application. Traditional clustering technologies offer high availability, but are too expensive and complex to install and manage, particularly over a WAN.

Both replication and clustering solutions also miss a key component in achieving true high availability: establishing and maintaining a sound and reliable system configuration on which to operate.

Neverfail's unique true pair technology and products are designed to not only reduce the costs of traditional high availability solutions, but their complexities, too, eliminating the up-front planning and ongoing management costs of dedicated or outsourced IT personnel. Neverfail takes a holistic approach to application availability and data protection for the Microsoft® technology platform that keeps the user continuously connected to business critical applications, no matter whether the failure occurs in the operating system, a hardware component, a software application, or somewhere within the network.

Only Neverfail delivers both reliability and resilience: the two key components for achieving true high availability.
Neverfail is the only company that offers an application availability solution for the Microsoft® technology platform that addresses the two key factors necessary for achieving true high availability — reliability and resilience.

Reliability requires identification of foreseeable and predictable problems within a system environment and then enables proactive measures to be taken. Achieving reliability requires complete system and configuration analysis and the application of Best Practice methodologies to establish and maintain a sound server environment.

Resilience enables a rapid and absolute recovery from unforeseeable and unpredictable problems within a system environment. Achieving resilience requires fully automated, comprehensive data and site protection, 24/7 application and network availability and server failover/switchover in the event of a potential failure.

Neverfail’s unique solution is very affordable, easy to install and simple to maintain.

Only Neverfail takes the holistic approach of addressing reliability and resilience to achieve true high availability with products that are designed to keep the user continuously connected to a working application, no matter whether the failure occurs in the operating system, a hardware component, a software application, or somewhere within the network. Best of all, Neverfail products are very affordable, extremely simple to install and easy to maintain.

Neverfail’s unique solution starts with automated data collection and analysis tools designed to help you build a reliable system configuration with minimal time and effort. Then, establishing a resilient solution no longer requires typical investments necessary for traditional clustering solutions: expensive, fault-tolerant hardware or shared storage configurations and the infrastructure that comes with them.

Neverfail simply adds a similar or dissimilar server to connect with the existing server; creating a resilient solution that is easy to afford, easy to install and simple to manage. Neverfail’s innovative cloning technology establishes a true pair of servers — an active and a passive server — that enables both automated and manual switchovers between the pair with cluster-class performance.

Neverfail Heartbeat is the core technology that powers all of Neverfail’s software products for the Microsoft technology platform. Neverfail Heartbeat’s “cluster-class” solution replicates data from an active server to a passive server in either a LAN or WAN environment to protect Microsoft applications against a wide range of potential failures. In severe cases, should the active server fail, the passive server can assume the full identity of the active server and take over all processing. Neverfail Heartbeat’s switch-over feature is an automatic, seamless process to ensure continuous application availability and is completely invisible to the end user.
