Protecting Data for Regulatory Compliance

In regulated industries, any data loss can be costly. That's why pharmaceutical manufacturers, financial services and healthcare providers rely on everRun® to protect their businesses from the possibility of data loss.

everRun automatically mirrors application data, creating a consistent, identical version on a separate system that can be located more than 100 miles from the original. With complete, transparent redundancy, you won’t lose data even if a disk device, network, or entire server fails.

Protecting Every Drop of Manufacturing Data

Rich Products, a major frozen foods manufacturer, relies on everRun to keep its business running. Its Arlington, Tennessee, processing facility produces whipped toppings, puddings and similar products on a continuous schedule. It uses Wonderware Historian software to collect a wide range of critical data throughout the process. Continuous data collection is necessary to ensure that its products are manufactured to the highest levels of quality and in full compliance with all FDA and other regulatory requirements.

“Because of the continuous nature of our data collection, a failure in our historian could shut down the entire production line and have costly consequences for us,” said Brian Mudra, Project Manager, Rich Products.

Rich Products needed a high availability solution that would protect their historian data from any failures. In addition, they needed a solution that would not require changes to their current infrastructure or modifications to existing configurations and policies. “We also wanted a solution that would not add complexity or require extensive training for our system administrators,” said Mudra.

Rich Products deployed Marathon’s everRun software, which works with off-the-shelf Windows servers and unmodified Wonderware Historian software. everRun delivers 100% data protection and continuous availability. Since installing the Marathon software, Rich Products’ Wonderware Historian has operated continuously and has not dropped a single byte of data.

“We are very pleased with our Marathon everRun servers,” said Mudra. “We have the level of redundancy and reliability we require in a simple-to-use Windows-based solution.”

Zero Data Loss for Your Applications

everRun protects application data from loss for any Windows server, whether 32-bit or 64-bit, without requiring application changes. The resilient application environment created by everRun automatically replicates all data, transparently to the application. It monitors, validates and maintains the replicated environment and ensures that critical data is never lost, even if an entire disk, server or site fails. If you cannot afford to lose any data, you need everRun.
