What is Neverfail?
Your business needs to run 24x7. Recovering from IT issues means business disruption. Disruption you can ill-afford. Neverfail’s Continuous Availability approach detects application failures and IT outages before recovery is required, and automatically switches the business to other servers to avoid business downtime. With the lowest total cost of ownership and widest scope of protection Neverfail will protect your business.
Disaster Recovery – Protect Data and User Productivity
Only Neverfail keeps users continuously connected throughout any kind of disruption, with no need for them to restart applications after failover.
Only Neverfail measures failover in seconds rather than minutes and ensures seamless disaster recovery.
In a recent Business Continuity market survey conducted by OpenSky Research, only 12% or respondents were completely confident that their company is doing enough to protect their IT systems.
Flood, power outages, hurricanes, earthquakes, malicious attacks and more — the potential for disasters have never been greater for today's businesses. What's more, disaster recovery has become even more critical for industries such as financial services, legal and government that face strict compliance and regulatory requirements.
You need more than typical backup or replication systems. Simply having a second server on your site is not enough. That's why Neverfail offers you affordable, easy-to-use solutions for disaster recovery that will fit your business requirements and IT budget.
Continuous Data Protection – For Any Type of Failure
Only Neverfail keeps users continuously connected throughout any kind of disruption, with no need for them to restart applications after failover.
Only Neverfail measures failover in seconds rather than minutes, ensuring continuous data protection, availability and productivity.
Continuous data protection requires two critical capabilities — maximum data replication plus dependable data corruption protection, including rollback to a point in time that ensures little or no data loss.
Neverfail provides both of these in a proven continuous data protection solution you can depend on, all at a very affordable price.
Neverfail Heartbeat, the core technology for every Neverfail solution, supports complete data replication from an active server to a passive server in real time. Neverfail Data Rollback Module complements Neverfail's core technology by providing a simple and swift application restart from earlier points in time, to regain data integrity quickly and efficiently after data corruption or data loss has occurred.

Protection for a wide range of applications

An added layer of powerful functionality is offered through our optional Low Bandwidth Module — a data compression tool, and all plug-ins include our Data Rollback Module.
Neverfail even provides out-of-the-box support for auxiliary applications such as anti-virus, archiving, back-up, anti-spam, and fax products. Please visit the Neverfail plug-ins page for a complete listing of all supported products.
Automatic “one-button” failover and switchback
In addition to offering both manual and automatic failover / switchover capabilities, Neverfail for RIM BlackBerry also features the ability to seamlessly switchback — something replication solutions can't offer. Neverfail seamlessly resynchronizes servers when the primary server comes back online, then enables you to switchback with the simple click of a button.
Point-in-time data rollback
Neverfail's Data Rollback Module complements our core technology by providing a simple and swift application restart from earlier points in time. This ensures data restoration and the ability to regain data integrity quickly and efficiently after data corruption has occurred. Neverfail Data Rollback Module runs directly on top of Neverfail Heartbeat and utilizes the Microsoft® Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) technology to provide an efficient application/data restoration and retrieval mechanism.
With Neverfail, you'll have the high availability and disaster recovery solution you need to keep your mobile email users continuously connected to their BlackBerry application; ensuring continuous data protection and maximum application uptime.
Why Invest in Neverfail?
The Top 10 Questions You Should Consider When Evaluating a High Availability Solution
It's not easy to separate hype from reality. When evaluating a high availability and disaster recovery solution, consider these questions to determine the best solution for you.
Will the solution:
- perform a failover that is transparent to the user — meaning users do not have to reboot their workstation or restart their application?
- check the overall health of the server prior to installation to ensure ongoing server reliability?
- feature an installation process that does not require the failover server to be manually pre-configured?
- offer complete data protection — ensure both the data and the registry can be rolled back?
protect from all types of failures, including failures caused by
- data corruption or data loss
- operating system performance
- network issues
- hardware issues
- work in a WAN environment to protect from complete site failure?
- offer both a manual and automatic failover/failback by the click of a single button?
- be easy to maintain — what IT resources are required during upgrades, failovers and switchbacks?
- protect the primary application (e.g. Exchange) AND the auxiliary applications “out-of-the-box”, such as anti-virus, archiving, back-up, anti-spam, and fax products?
- allow for comprehensive failover testing — including the application, Active Directory, DNS updates and network connectivity?
If YES is not the answer to every question, there are better high availability and disaster recovery alternatives.
Your ideal solution:
- performs a failover that is non-visible and non-disruptive to the end-user.
- conducts a full diagnosis on the server configuration environment and provides recommendations to ensure a reliable server environment is in place prior to installing a high availability solution.
- ensures an efficient installation process that eliminates the need to pre-configure the failover
- server with the same applications, directory locations and settings as the production server.
- offers data protection that not only rolls back the data but the entire application state, as “rewinding” back to a data point that is inconsistent with the registry results in unusable configuration and data.
- protects from downtime regardless of failure type.
- works in a LAN or WAN environment and offers data compression.
- allows for manual and automatic failover/failback through a single button click and does so seamlessly without disruption to the end user.
- requires minimal IT skills to manage and operate; fully automated, yet gives IT administrators control and flexibility.
- provides complete “out-of-the-box” protection for primary and auxiliary applications, without the need to write custom scripts in order to protect these applications, both at installation time and in the future as the application profile changes.
- has the ability for comprehensive testing off all critical failover considerations beyond just the application.
