Forrester Research's Top Five Best Practices: Application Availability for Remote Locations
LITTLETON, MA, Jan 12, 2010 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
Meeting the availability needs of an IT infrastructure is a
challenging task, but ensuring remote or branch office locations are
also always up and running can be especially difficult when there is
traditionally little or no IT staff. Forrester Research Senior
Analyst and Availability Expert Stephanie Balaouras will provide her
top five best practices for optimizing availability at remote and
branch locations including classifying systems by criticality,
developing tiers of service for availability and measuring
availability from the end user perspective. Following Stephanie's
presentation, Michael Bilancieri, sr. director of products at
Marathon Technologies, will explain a simplified approach to
maintaining continuous, automated availability in remote locations
such as retail stores, banks, hotels and financial services firms.

High availability solutions for remote and branch offices (ROBOs)
have been greatly restricted by a lack of support staff. Marathon's
everRun(R) software is used today by hundreds of organizations in
diverse industries to protect branch locations where high
availability is essential, but local IT staff is not available. Its
automated fault detection and embedded policy management continuously
monitors systems, network and disk I/O to provide complete protection
for remote locations. The webinar will provide an overview of
everRun's benefits including a review of remote location case
studies.
