Neverfail Offers Continuous Availability Solution for Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010

Neverfail, a software company specializing in continuous availability and disaster recovery, has rolled out a new product for the Microsoft (News - Alert)SharePoint Server 2010. Its release coincides with the release of SharePoint 2010.

The software product basically keeps users connected even in the event of a natural disaster, power outage or planned maintenance - so they can continue working. It monitors the health and state of applications, and enables automated failover or manual switchover to additional local and/or remote servers.

The company's SharePoint Server 2010 provides availability and disaster recovery for all elements of SharePoint including the database and application servers together with the search and index servers.

Neverfail provides protection across Microsoft SQL Server databases, file system content and Microsoft Exchange. Neverfail can be used to protect an entire collaboration, workflow and content management platform against an outage.

For example, if an organization uses SharePoint and there is a disaster that takes the server down, Neverfail ensures that everyone in the organization will still have access to the critical processes and applications needed to keep the workflow going, Neverfail explains.

In today's competitive economy, disaster resiliency is a requirement to keep employees productive, the company adds. SharePoint Server has become a critical application platform. Users are reliant on SharePoint Server 2010 applications to do their job. Any IT outage affecting SharePoint Server applications can cause significant business disruption.

'SharePoint Server 2010 serves as a vital link between corporate messaging, enterprise applications, customers, partners and suppliers,' said Arpan Shah, director for SharePoint at Microsoft Corp. 'Neverfail for SharePoint Server 2010 delivers a solution designed from the ground up to keep users working through any type of IT outage.'

'We are proud to be part of the SharePoint Server 2010 launch,' agreed Paddy Falls, CTO of Neverfail. 'We have been working closely with Microsoft engineering and product groups.' As a Microsoft Gold launch partner, Neverfail will participate in SharePoint Server 2010 launch road shows.
