Regions Using Neverfail to Ensure Continuous Uptime of Mission-Critical
Applications
AUSTIN, Texas, June 1 /PRNewswire/ -- Neverfail(R), a leading global software
company providing affordable continuous availability and disaster recovery
solutions, today announced that its software is being used by customers in
hurricane-prone regions to protect their mission-critical applications from
costly downtime in the event of a natural disaster. Galveston County, Texas
and Frilot L.L.C., a New Orleans-based law firm, are just two of the latest
customers implementing Neverfail's solutions as a vital step in their
hurricane preparedness plans.

Galveston County, Texas began using Neverfail after Hurricanes Rita and Ike
both resulted in significant downtime of their Microsoft(R) SQL Server, which
stores all of the organization's business intelligence. "Living in an area
that is in frequent danger from hurricanes, we knew we needed to put a
solution in place that would protect us the next time one struck," said
Captain John Pruitt, systems administrator for Galveston County. "Galveston
County services the police and fire departments throughout the entire county,
and a disruption in communications during a natural disaster could cost lives.
With Neverfail, we know that we will not lose the connection between our
servers on Galveston Island and our mainland offices. The fact that
communications won't go down is critical."
Frilot L.L.C., a full-service law firm located in New Orleans, La., is also
using Neverfail to protect against hurricane-related downtime. Neverfail
protects uptime for critical electronic communications and access to the
firm's client files. The solutions in place include Neverfail for RIM
BlackBerry(R), Neverfail for Microsoft(R) Exchange, Neverfail for Microsoft(R)
SQL Server and Neverfail for Microsoft(R) File Server, which provide
across-the-enterprise protection for all of the firm's mission-critical
software. Prior to using Neverfail, Frilot didn't have a system in place to
ensure that its vital systems kept running. When Hurricane Katrina hit in
2005, Frilot's Exchange and File Server systems went down for three weeks,
incurring significant expense while paralyzing the organization's ability to
effectively communicate with clients.
Said Frilot's Jack Nguyen, IT manager, "Neverfail provides the assurance that
our various software programs are always available to our entire staff, no
matter what device they are working on or where they are physically located.
Neverfail provides seamless failover to our remote server in Dallas, so the
downtime we experienced with Katrina will never happen again. In addition,
unlike other solutions, Neverfail protects all of the applications on our
BlackBerry devices, not just some. We can always communicate with clients and
keep business operations going."
More than just backup or data replication, Neverfail solutions ensure users
remain continuously connected to critical business applications. Neverfail
solutions are especially important for industries such as financial services,
legal and government that face strict compliance and regulatory requirements.
Neverfail keeps users continuously connected throughout any kind of disruption
with no need for users to restart applications after failover. Neverfail
measures failover in seconds rather than minutes, and ensures seamless
disaster recovery.
"Hurricanes, floods, power outages, earthquakes, terrorist attacks - these are
all potential disasters that today's businesses need to protect against.
Typically, the day a disaster strikes is when a company discovers its disaster
recovery solution doesn't work. Neverfail provides organizations with
proactive, affordable and easy-to-use solutions that not only ensure disaster
recovery but prevention as well," said Andrew Barnes, senior vice president of
corporate development for Neverfail.
