Marathon Technologies' everRun VM Named 2008 Editors' Best Award Winner by Windows IT Pro Magazine for Bringing

LITTLETON, MA, Aug 05 (MARKET WIRE) --
Marathon Technologies, the only provider of fault-tolerant, high
availability software for physical and virtual servers, announced today
that everRun VM has been named a bronze medal winner of the "2008
Editors' Best Awards" in the virtualization category by Penton Media's
Windows IT Pro magazine. Launched in April 2008, Marathon's everRun VM
addresses one of the barriers to broader adoption of server
virtualization -- a lack of automated and reliable high availability
software to protect essential applications such as Microsoft Exchange,
SQL and SharePoint in virtual environments.

"The 2008 Editors' Best Awards utilize our editors' product knowledge and
subject matter expertise to identify exceptional products that benefit the
Windows IT Pro and SQL Server Magazine reader communities," said Jeff
Lewis, group publisher. "Our editors selected winners based on the
product's strategic importance to the market, its competitive advantages
and its value to the customer."

"Our editors are tough, in-the-trenches critics," Lewis continued. "They
demand solid value and performance from the products they select. Editors'
Best Award winners can feel proud that the products and services they
developed have earned the respect and recognition of the Windows IT Pro
and SQL Server Magazine editorial staff."

everRun VM is the world's first fully automated, fault-tolerant, high
availability software for server virtualization. everRun VM enables
companies to:

-- Prevent outages and data loss in their virtual infrastructures
-- Bring server virtualization's cost and energy saving benefits to
business critical and other production applications
-- Deploy high availability and disaster recovery protection across the
company -- especially mid-market companies with no protection today

"Given all of the innovative virtualization companies considered for
this award, we are honored to be named a Windows IT Pro Editors' Best
Award winner in the virtualization category," said Gary Phillips,
president and CEO of Marathon Technologies. "This award is the tenth
industry award we have received in the past year, a testament to the
importance and value of what we are doing to help companies reduce costs
and ensure the availability of their applications."
