How to Reduce System Downtime by 70 Percent without Spending a Dime

New On-Demand Webinar and White Paper Explain How to Dramatically Reduce Downtime through Resource and Process Improvements

 

Littleton, Mass. — October 19, 2009 —Marathon Technologies, the award-winning provider of fault-tolerant, high availability software for physical and virtual servers, today announced a new on-demand webinar and white paper to help organizations of all sizes dramatically reduce system downtime without additional resource or technology investments.  By implementing just one of the best practices detailed in the webinar and white paper, organizations can reduce downtime by at least 70 percent.

The availability of these materials comes as IT organizations are often being asked to do more with increasingly constrained budgets. Niel Nickolaisen, IT process management expert and co-author of the new book “Stand Back and Deliver: Accelerating Business Agility,” has created a proven model for strategic and tactical alignment of IT with business objectives - enabling IT to do more for the business with less. 

By implementing just one component of Niel’s model and change management best practices, IT departments can reduce downtime at least 70 percent without requiring any additional budget for more resources or technology. Moreover, by implementing all four components of Niel’s model, IT professionals can dramatically reduce system downtime and closely align their efforts and investments with business priorities.

The four steps of this IT alignment model that reduce downtime include: 

  1. Defining and using change management processes
  2. Simplifying IT processes
  3. Automating availability processes
  4. Prioritizing your systems

Marathon’s on-demand webinar and white paper outline the model and explain how to implement these four steps. These tools also describe how Marathon's everRun® software supports the execution of steps three and four by providing automated high availability and tiered availability levels for Microsoft® Windows Server applications.
