Neverfail launches high-availability back-up software

Backup solutions

Neverfail has announced its new backup and recovery software solution, boasting a myriad of new features.

Neverfail 6.0 works across physical, virtual and cloud-based servers to protect critical applications.

It also claims to be "the only solution that keeps users working even when multiple software applications go down."

The first feature, Neverfail Tertiary, provides automated fail over for up to three servers. This means should the secondary or tertiary server come into play, operations are moved across and switched back, when the original is restored, without the user experiencing any downtime.

Andrew Barnes, senior vice president of corporate development for Neverfail, told [i IT PRO: "Neverfail 6.0 is the first in the industry to provide this trio of servers with such high availability where you get the best of both worlds protected both locally and remotely."

Neverfail 6.0 also features WANSmart which uses de-duplication technology to cut down the amount of physical data replicated across a network. This can reduce bandwidth requirements - by up to 30 per cent, according to Neverfail.

"Neverfail 6.0 provides organisations with the business continuity solution they need to prevent multiple software applications from going down and causing serious business disruption," Mark Bowker, analyst at Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG), added in a statement:

"[Its] ability to work across physical and virtual infrastructures provides much needed choice for application continuity and goes beyond existing virtual platform approaches."

The new product is available now and is currently being demonstrated this week at VMWorld in San Francisco.
