everRun VM is the world’s first fully automated, fault-tolerant, high availability software for server virtualisation. Customers that download the everRun VM Single Host Trial Edition can

· Use online migration to move a running protected VM to another XenServer host

The Cure for Common HA Scepticism

“When we describe everRun VM to customers and prospects, the common reaction is ‘it’s too good to be true,’” said Steve Keilen, vice president of marketing for Marathon Technologies. “To help them get past that scepticism, we’ve developed a trial version of everRun VM that they can easily set up on a single system. We’ve also made it easier to download a full production evaluation copy of everRun VM. We’re convinced that almost anyone that tries everRun VM and puts it to the test, will want to deploy it.”

The everRun VM Single Host Trial Edition download is available immediately and comes with everything needed to get started, including an evaluation copy of XenServer Enterprise Edition.
