Are Marathon products like a replication solution?
No. Replication solutions can provide data redundancy by copying data to a remote location. Some offer a failover option to have a standby server assume processing for a failed production server. These are generally asynchronous copy solutions and will inherently incur data loss in the event of a failover. Failover is generally only a redirection of the server identity. Depending on the particular environment, completing the failover could take over an hour and require clients to be restarted. The two systems must have licensed copies of the application installed on each server and be managed separately, incurring cost and management complexity. everRun performs simultaneous writes to two storage devices in a synchronous manner to guarantee data and transactional integrity. With everRun, there is only one single Windows operating environment exposed to your network and users.
