HardwarePT goes always-on with fault-tolerant software

The firm, which is a business unit of SolutionsPT, says its industrial strength software, which is also used by Wonderware and Rockwell Automation, is being launched as the result of a strategic alliance with US-based Marathon Technologies. According to Mike Lees, business manager at SolutionsPT, everRun creates a highly resilient application environment for Windows products, from the network and storage devices to the server and application layer. The software helps synchronise, monitor and repair problems in the application and provides a single, unified management platform instead of the usual separate storage, application, server and network views. "Using everRun is like having an industrial IT expert constantly on call," says Lees. "It automatically monitors all of your components and synchronises data between them. [Also], failure alerts notify you when something may need attention, such as an increase in I/O errors on a storage device."
