Neverfail's Continuous Availability 5.4 product suite supports Windows Server 2008 to provide customers a very cost-effective platform to eliminate planned and unplanned downtime of critical virtualized and non-virtualized applications. Neverfail offers robust high availability and disaster recovery for Microsoft Windows-based applications in physical, virtual and mixed environments. Neverfail will sponsor and exhibit at Booth #515 at the Get Virtual Now launch event (http://www.getvirtualnow.com) on Sept. 8th at Meydenbauer Center inBellevue, Wash.

Additionally, with System Center Virtual Machine Manager being a critical part of the virtualization management infrastructure, Neverfail today announced Neverfail for System Center Virtual Machine Manager. Neverfail today provides high availability and disaster protection for the critical SQL and library server components of the System Center Virtual Machine Manager infrastructure. In addition, later this year, Neverfail will deliver a plug-in for its application management framework specifically to manage availability of the System Center Virtual Machine Manager server itself.

"Features such as rapid provisioning, performance and resource optimization and management of VMware ESX Server environments ensure that System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008 delivers vital operations capabilities for cross-platform management of virtualized deployments," said Paddy Falls, chief technology office of Neverfail. "If any component of System Center Virtual Machine Manager becomes unavailable, whether due to a planned or unplanned outage, there will be significant disruption to the smooth operation of the enterprise. Neverfail for System Center Virtual Machine Manager avoids the need for complex and manual recovery from backup after failure, ensuring continuous availability of the virtualization platform itself and avoiding user disruption."

"Continuous availability in the data center is critical for enterprises to ensure the highest level of productivity and customer satisfaction," said Zane Adam, senior director of integrated virtualization at Microsoft. "Neverfail's delivery of broad offerings supporting Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V, and System Center Virtual Machine Manager helps our mutual customers have a higher assurance of business continuity across physical, virtual or mixed environments."

Neverfail protects the widest range of other Windows-based products in both LAN and WAN deployments. Neverfail solutions are available through an extensive global network of channel partners and distributors or direct. For more information, please visit http://www.neverfailgroup.com.
