Neverfail for SQL Server

Neverfail for SQL Server is the most comprehensive high availability, low cost software solution for Microsoft SQL Server.

The heart and soul of Neverfail for SQL Server - Neverfail Heartbeat
The most important consideration in protecting your Microsoft SQL Server environment is creating a real-time, duplicate copy of your SQL data. Neverfail Heartbeat sits at the core of Neverfail's suite of affordable, "cluster-class" solutions, replicating data from your active to your passive server, whether they reside in the same server room, or across the globe.

Neverfail for SQL Server is the only high availability solution that proactively monitors your entire SQL environment
With new databases being created, data being appended, changed, deleted and more, SQL Server environments never stand still- they're subject to constant change. Neverfail for SQL Server proactively monitors your SQL Server application, including all system and data tables, looking for just such changes. It then reconfigures itself accordingly to ensure any and all changes are included in its replication set.

In addition to monitoring the SQL application, Neverfail for SQL Server is the only cluster-class, high availability solution to proactively monitor the health of your entire SQL environment, including: physical server hardware, network infrastructure and operating system. If any problem occurs, Neverfail can take a variety of preemptive, corrective actions without resorting to a full system failover. In extreme cases, a graceful switchover to your secondary server can occur automatically, ensuring continuous SQL availability.

Support for virtually any Auxiliary Application
Neverfail can also protect auxiliary applications that you may have installed onto your server. These may include supporting applications such as anti-virus, backup and archiving solutions. Our Application Module eXtension - AM(X) - technology provides an application program interface to easily and rapidly generate these extension products.

High availability over a LAN or WAN environment
Neverfail for SQL Server can be configured to protect your database applications in either a LAN or WAN environment. Where bandwidth or network utilization is an issue or needs to be reduced, the Neverfail Low Bandwidth Module (LBM) is available to optimize and reduce the amount of data that is transmitted between the two servers.

You'll only find switchback capabilities in Neverfail for SQL Server
In addition to offering both manual and automatic switchover capabilities, Neverfail for SQL Server also features the ability to seamlessly switchback, something replication solutions can't offer. Whether your primary server is down for several hours or even days, Neverfail will seamlessly resynchronize your servers when the primary does come back online, and allow you to switch your workload back to a normal production state within a few minutes by the simple click of a button!

Reliability is the first and most crucial step to achieving high availability
The successful implementation and ongoing performance of any cluster-class high availability solution is predicated upon a reliable technology platform. Neverfail's Server Check Optimization Performance Evaluation (SCOPE) is the only automated software solution to deliver a comprehensive health "check-up" of your server environment. SCOPE identifies existing configuration and performance issues in your environment prior to installation of a high availability solution and it provides "snapshots" of your environment to ensure on-going reliability.

Neverfail for SQL Server Summary
Your databases are the lifeblood of your business and are too important to leave to back-up or replication. And why settle for a partial solution that focuses only on recovering hardware and data failures from a primary server when Neverfail for SQL Server can deliver comprehensive, proactive failure protection for all elements of your server environment? Only Neverfail for SQL Server can give you a cluster-class, high availability solution that's easy to install and approximately one-tenth the cost of other cluster-class solutions.
