Neverfail Group Announces Release of Neverfail for File Server; Company's Latest Software Solution Ensures Data Protection and Continuous Availability of Microsoft File Servers

Posted on: Wednesday, 15 December 2004, 12:00 CST

The Neverfail Group (Neverfail), a leading global software company providing affordable, "cluster-class" high availability and disaster recovery solutions for the Microsoft technology platform, today announced the release of Neverfail for File Server. An addition to the Company's suite of software solutions, Neverfail for File Server protects an organization's Microsoft file server environment, preventing data and productivity loss and ensuring continual access to business critical files.

"The drive in business to minimize IT investments and maximize productivity through shared resources was the impetus behind the evolutionary shift from mainframes to networked computers and peripherals," said Neil Robertson, CEO of Neverfail. "Today, even small businesses heavily depend upon the bottom-line advantages of file servers that enable employees to share their files." Robertson continues, "The typical file server backup strategies -- where incremental tape backups are mixed with occasional full backups -- are simply no longer feasible in an environment where businesses are increasingly demanding business continuity strategies from one another in order to conduct business together."

Neverfail for File Server automatically configures protection for all of an organization's file shares as they are created, edited, or deleted, and continually reconfigures itself to ensure that any changes are included in its replication set so that the file server's data is always up-to-date and fully protected. In addition to monitoring the file server, Neverfail for File Server is the only "cluster-class," high availability solution to proactively monitor and manage the health of the entire file server environment, including physical server hardware, network infrastructure and operating system. If any problems occur, Neverfail for File Server can take a variety of pre-emptive, corrective actions without resorting to a full system failover. If necessary, a seamless switchover to a secondary server occurs automatically, ensuring continuous availability. In addition to offering manual and automatic switchover capabilities, Neverfail for File Server features the ability to seamlessly switch back and resynchronize servers when the primary server comes back online.

"Businesses today have so much to contend with in terms of ensuring comprehensive business continuity and compliance strategies; technology should be the least of their concerns. However, finding an out-of-the-box solution that is cost effective, easy to implement and needs little configuration can be a real challenge," said Kevin Leach, president of Trump Systems, one of Neverfail's Certified Channel Partners. "For any organization operating in a Microsoft environment, Neverfail provides a complete high availability and disaster recovery solution at a highly affordable price."

Neverfail for File Server, as well as Neverfail's complete line of application reliability, availability and disaster recovery software solutions for the Microsoft technology platform -- Neverfail SCOPE, Neverfail Heartbeat, Neverfail for Exchange and Neverfail for SQL Server -- can be purchased via Neverfail's Certified Resellers.
