Marathon Technologies to Present on New Standard of High Availability for Server Virtualization at the Third International Virtualization Conference and Expo

Marathon Technologies , the only provider of fault-tolerant, high availability software for physical and virtual servers, today announced that Jerry Melnick, its chief technology officer, will be a featured speaker at the Third International Virtualization Conference and Expo hosted by SYS-CON Media, June 23-24 in New York City. Melnick's presentation, "Are Your Applications v-Available?" will discuss what IT professionals need to do to deploy reliable, automated high availability for virtual servers, and how this new approach can help them prevent outages and data loss -- instead of just planning for recovery.

Melnick's presentation will examine how and why deploying a new approach to high availability for virtual servers can help companies:

--  Bring virtualization's benefits to business critical applications

--  Protect applications not protected today -- simply and cost-
    effectively

--  Gain a better ROI from their investment in server virtualization

Attendees to the "Current Directions" track will also see presentations on the effective uses of virtualization today and tomorrow from Intel Corp., 3Leaf Systems, Novell and GigaSpace.
