Centurum Relies on Neverfail to Ensure Continuous Communications Uptime
AUSTIN, Texas – Sept. 30, 2008 – To protect the e-mail and database environments that federal government agencies such as the Department of Defense rely upon, Centurum selected Neverfail, a leading global software company providing affordable continuous availability and disaster recovery solutions, to ensure continuous e-mail uptime. With the security of the nation at risk, downtime in communications access is not an option.
“Deploying and managing IT systems is Centurum’s business, and for such highly regulated and crucial customers, there is no tolerance for downtime of any kind,” said Perry Golden, senior systems engineer for Centurum.
Centurum realized the need for a disaster recovery plan when it merged three commonly-owned, affiliated companies into one. The task of unifying the companies’ disparate systems was a challenge for the IT team whose mandate was to ensure that all systems operated at full capacity without a moment’s pause.
After an audit of the data center and systems, the department began to search for a disaster recovery solution to protect valuable applications and data and to ensure a continuous communication flow. The IT team evaluated several products and ultimately, selected Neverfail for Microsoft® Exchange to protect its e-mail server environments and Neverfail for Microsoft® SQL Server to protect its rapidly evolving database network. Most recently, the company implemented Neverfail for RIM BlackBerry® Enterprise Server to secure nearly 100 mobile users.
Shortly after implementing these disaster recovery solutions, Neverfail was put to the test when Centurum experienced a power outage. Within seconds, the IT team failed over to a secondary system in Virginia. The servers were synched up, immediately ensuring continuity of all communications with no loss of e-mail or related data.
“I can’t stress enough that we have zero tolerance for downtime. With Neverfail in place, we are confident that our applications are protected and assured that our business processes are safe, no matter what,” said Golden.
