Neverfail Keeps Nathaniel Lichfield and Partners' Plans on Track
Company Ensures Critical Documents for Development Projects Are Continuously Available for Staff and Clients
THEALE, U.K. – Feb. 12, 2008 – Neverfail, a leading global software company providing affordable continuous availability and disaster recovery solutions, today announced that Nathaniel Lichfield and Partners, an independent town planning consultancy providing advice on all aspects of the planning process, has implemented Neverfail for Microsoft® Exchange, Neverfail for Microsoft® SQL Server and Neverfail for Microsoft® File Server. Neverfail’s solutions will provide continuous availability of key documents held on the company’s business-critical document management system, which underpins all internal and client initiatives.
With major contracts including the redevelopment of Thorpe Park, the regeneration of Wembley Stadium and the planning of The London Eye, Nathaniel Lichfield and Partners must ensure that its IT systems are available at all times, and that employees can continue to work even in the event of a system failure. Information critical to the completion of these projects, such as technical drawings and client contracts, is held on Nathaniel Lichfield and Partners’ document management system. It is essential that this server is protected by a continuous availability solution to ensure that mission-critical applications are kept up and running at all times.
“Ultimately, we selected Neverfail with our staff and customers in mind; we needed a product that was reliable enough to support the business during planned downtime, as well as resilient enough to automatically address unplanned downtime. Neverfail achieves both of these objectives, and we’re looking forward to extending our use of the technology throughout the organisation,” said Paul Fuller, Network Manager at Nathaniel Lichfield and Partners.
To meet the company’s key business objective of continuous availability, Fuller examined a number of options and concluded that Neverfail’s technology was the most sophisticated and cost-effective solution on the market to provide seamless failover at the touch of a button. “Not only does the Neverfail solution offer us automated failover of our entire server environment, but it also continuously monitors this environment to catch any issues that arise before they become problems. These advanced capabilities ensure that our employees always remain connected to key applications, which is vitally important in meeting the needs of our business,” said Fuller.
Following the installation of Neverfail, Nathaniel Lichfield and Partners’ document management system is fully protected against all instances of downtime, ensuring that employees can continue to access IT systems regardless of a failure. Additionally, Nathaniel Lichfield and Partners is running the Neverfail Data Rollback Module, which provides an extra line of defence against corruption and virus attack.
Nathaniel Lichfield and Partners has also implemented VMware Infrastructure 3 (VI3) in its secondary server environment to add flexibility to its IT operations. By using Neverfail, the company is able to seamlessly switch from its physical primary server environment to its virtual secondary server environment in the event of planned or unplanned downtime.
Nathaniel Lichfield and Partners is an independent town planning consultancy founded in 1962 to provide specialist advice on all aspects of the planning process. Today, Nathaniel Lichfield and Partners is one of the UK’s largest independent firms specialising in development planning with offices in Cardiff, London, Manchester and Newcastle.
