Microsoft brings fault tolerant technology to Windows

From InfoWorld: Microsoft and Marathon Technologies last week unveiled a partnership and a joint development agreement to bring fault tolerant options to companies running Windows Server 2008 and Hyper-V.

Microsoft is moving to create a more highly available Windows environment by offering a selection of options to protect business-critical applications.

Marathon offers a fault tolerant platform that supports Windows called everRun. The vendor will offer support for Windows Server 2008 before the end of June and for a version of Hyper-V that will ship in a future edition of Windows Server. Microsoft officials would not confirm if it would be the next version after the Windows Server 2008 R2 version, which went into beta last week.

Marathon and Microsoft officials said integration with System Center management tools also are in development.
