Marathon Technologies is looking to lock down virtual environments.
The Littleton, Mass., company, which is best known for creating high-availability environments for Microsoft applications, is now turning its attention to creating secure, fault-tolerant virtual environments.
Marathon released the beta of its EverRun VM software March 24, with general availability slated for the end of April. The software works with Citrix XenServer and will eventually allow users to choose from different levels of failover protection, including basic fault tolerance and server component failover. Later this year, the company will release an updated version to address failures at the CPU level.
