“We’ve only experienced 11 seconds of downtime in 9 years of using Marathon.”
- IT Director, National Radio Media Organization
Few industries have the same pressures for real-time performance as the broadcast media, where "dead air" means serious revenue loss.
Four of the five top television networks in the US rely on Marathon to keep critical applications "on the air" even when IT personnel are unavailable. Marathon's everRun® ComputeThru™ Technology for server high availability automatically responds to faults and maintains operations of critical applications, whether for the on-the-air graphics, financial systems, or email and communications connecting producers and reporters to the world at large.

Central European Media Enterprises provides an independent voice to the former Soviet bloc countries, operating TV networks and stations across Central and Eastern Europe. This complex media empire, which is listed on the NASDAQ, must generate financial reports regularly for the U.S. SEC. Marathon everRun for server high availability ensures that network or hardware problems do not interfere with important filing guidelines, and that essential financial systems operate with zero downtime.
