Neverfail Group Launches Innovative Channel Program

Posted on: Tuesday, 15 June 2004, 06:00 CDT

Neverfail Partners Can Offer End-User Clients Comprehensive, High Application Availability Solution for the Microsoft Technology Platform

The Neverfail Group (Neverfail), a leading global software company providing affordable, "cluster-class," high application availability and disaster recovery software solutions for the Microsoft technology platform announced today an innovative channel program to give Neverfail Partners worldwide the opportunity to leverage the double-digit growth of the high availability and disaster recovery market sectors.

The Neverfail solution addresses all the key areas of worldwide market demand to reduce the cost and commercial impact of critical server downtime within a single software suite delivered with the lowest total cost of ownership available. The Neverfail channel program enables VARs, system integrators and resellers to provide proven, comprehensive application protection for Microsoft Exchange, SQL Server and File Server products to their end-user clients to ensure maximum application uptime in both LAN and WAN environments.

"As a Microsoft Gold Partner, we understand why companies make strategic investments in Microsoft-based applications," said Bill Pritchett, Director of Microsoft Practice for the Harding Group, a Neverfail channel program Partner based in Dallas. "We know that ensuring application availability and reliability is crucial, and after evaluating many replication and clustering technologies, we chose Neverfail. The combination of our Microsoft technology expertise and Neverfail's compelling business proposition has proven invaluable in delivering application certainty to our joint customers," stated Pritchett.

Neverfail's eBusiness strategy provides an unparalleled opportunity to utilize a highly profitable business model with the lowest cost of adoption to the Partner. Neverfail's online training center dramatically reduces traditional training time and costs by enabling Partners' pre-sales, sales, consulting, implementation and support staff to become fully qualified and accredited in Neverfail solutions without ever having to set foot in a classroom. Further, Neverfail's extensive collection of electronic marketing collateral and online product demonstrations enables prospective customers to fully evaluate Neverfail solutions for Microsoft Exchange, SQL Server and File Server.

Neverfail's interactive implementation methodology ensures that projects are successfully completed on time and within budget in order to maximize Partner consulting revenues and customer satisfaction. Finally, Neverfail's extensive online Knowledgebase and FAQ infrastructure provide fast and effective management of support requests to deliver a profitable stream of recurring revenues.

Neverfail offers the most comprehensive and affordable cluster-class solutions available on the market today. Unlike other availability offerings that focus only on recovering hardware and data failures from a primary server, Neverfail delivers proactive failure protection for all elements of the server environment by addressing system reliability, application availability, application protection, disaster recovery and security.

According to David French, CEO of Neverfail (US), the prerequisite for the successful implementation and ongoing performance of any cluster-class high application availability solution, including Neverfail, is a sound and stable server environment. As a result, the Company developed a unique Server Check Optimization Performance Evaluation (SCOPE) tool for Neverfail's VARs, system integrators and resellers to increase their customers' system reliability. "High availability solutions are not designed to identify or resolve existing server reliability issues; instead, they are intended to deliver a faster route to recovery after failure. We strongly believe that a proactive approach to server failure is far better than a reactive one," said French.

Neverfail has also developed Application Module eXtension (AMX) technology to protect auxiliary applications such as anti-virus, back-up, fax, and archiving. In addition to Neverfail's program geared toward Microsoft Solution Partners, the Company has implemented a channel strategy for ISV and Development Partners. The Partner program enables the rapid development and deployment of Neverfail AMXs via an application program interface to ensure that end users remain connected to any working Windows application that is protected by a Neverfail solution, regardless of the nature of the failure.

"We've worked with several major application availability vendors, and after establishing a relationship with Neverfail, it's clear that they're really trying to change the way in which vendors and their channel partners do business," said Greg Lally, CEO of Synegi in Irvine, California. "They have shown an overwhelming willingness to listen and partner with us. Combine their 'can do' attitude with their unique product solutions and partner programs and I believe together, we will change the vendor/partner paradigm for the better," said Lally.

Neverfail is a sponsor of the Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference in Toronto in July 11-13 (booth 719). Pricing for Neverfail's high application availability solution starts at six thousand dollars.
