Neverfail for SharePoint Introduced as the Most Fully Integrated High Availability Solution for the Entire Microsoft SharePoint Environment

Business Wire, March 14, 2005

AUSTIN, Texas -- The Neverfail Group, a leading global software company providing affordable data protection, high application availability and disaster recovery solutions, today announced the introduction of Neverfail for SharePoint, the most fully integrated "cluster-class" high availability solution available for end-to-end protection of the entire Microsoft SharePoint environment.

Microsoft SharePoint was designed to bolster corporate productivity by enabling the creation of websites wherein employees, strategic partners and/or customers can generate, change or delete collaborative content, thus, the data created within Microsoft SharePoint is constantly changing.

Neverfail for SharePoint is the only high availability solution that proactively monitors the SharePoint Portal Server, looking for just such changes. In addition to monitoring the Portal Server, Neverfail for SharePoint also protects all information-sharing applications and collaborative servers that host valuable SharePoint content, whether it resides in SQL Server, Exchange Public Folders or on a file system.

Mike Faster, President of Coyote Creek Consulting, a Neverfail Channel Partner, stated, "Microsoft clustering can't safeguard the SharePoint Portal Server, and with the exception of Neverfail, no other high availability software vendor is offering a viable data protection solution. We are extremely pleased to be able to offer Neverfail for SharePoint. It's the only solution available that can proactively monitor and protect the entire SharePoint environment, including all connected systems and applications," said Faster.

Neverfail for SharePoint is also the only cluster-class, high-availability solution that can proactively monitor the health of the entire SharePoint environment, including the physical server hardware, network infrastructure and operating system. By replicating data from an active to a passive server, Neverfail's unique, low-cost solution creates a real-time, duplicate copy of the entire SharePoint environment. If a problem occurs, Neverfail can take a variety of pre-emptive, corrective actions without resorting to a full system failover. In extreme cases, a non-disruptive, seamless failover to a secondary server can occur automatically and transparently, enabling users to stay continuously connected to SharePoint.

Neverfail's comprehensive line of high application availability and disaster recovery software solutions for the Microsoft technology platform -- Neverfail SCOPE, Neverfail Heartbeat, Neverfail for Exchange, Neverfail for SQL Server, Neverfail for IIS, Neverfail for SharePoint and Neverfail's Application Module eXtensions -- can be purchased from a Neverfail Channel Partner.
