AUSTIN, Texas, Nov. 3, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Neverfail®, a global software company specializing in affordable continuous availability and disaster recovery solutions, today announced the availability of Neverfail for Orion® Database, a high availability software solution designed to monitor and protect the health and availability of the SolarWinds® Orion database. Neverfail for Orion Database, modeled on Neverfail's award winning Neverfail for SQL product, ensures that network administrators have constant and continuous access to performance monitoring functionality and data, even when planned maintenance or unexpected outages disrupt the primary database server used by SolarWinds Orion Network Performance Monitor (NPM).

The SolarWinds Orion family of products provides unique insight into the availability and performance of IT networks. Network engineers around the world rely on Orion NPM and its modules to provide unparalleled visibility into the health, performance and operation of their networks and applications. The Orion server depends on availability of the Orion Database and should that database become unavailable, network engineers would be operating in the dark. This is why Neverfail is making Neverfail for Orion Database available to SolarWinds' customers.

In September SolarWinds announced availability of the Orion Failover Engine (FoE), which was developed in conjunction with Neverfail. The Orion Failover Engine leverages Neverfail technology to provide high availability and disaster recovery options for the Orion server. The combination of the SolarWinds Orion FoE and Neverfail for Orion Database provides maximum protection against outages of the Orion network monitoring infrastructure.

"We knew that it was crucial to make the Orion family of products failsafe, due to the fact that any hardware, software, storage failures or even disasters could take down the ability to monitor network performance," said Sanjay Castelino, vice president product management and product marketing, SolarWinds. "Together with the Orion Failover Engine, Neverfail's ability to ensure availability and failover of the Orion Database in the event of outages completes the ability of our customers to get the most out of their Orion deployments, whatever the circumstances."

In the event of failure of the primary Orion database, Neverfail for Orion Database automatically fails over database operations to a secondary local or remote database server. The secondary server seamlessly assumes the full identity of the Orion database in order to ensure that monitoring continues and data remains available for analysis.

Neverfail for Orion Database provides a management experience consistent with that provided by the SolarWinds Orion FoE. Neverfail for Orion Database and the SolarWinds Orion FoE together provide a complete secondary copy of the network monitoring platform to ensure continuous operation.

Only Neverfail delivers a solution designed from the ground up to keep users working through any type of IT outage. Neverfail's state-of-the-art replication technology ensures there is always a complete, consistent and up-to-date copy of the Orion database available on a secondary server. If anything goes wrong, applications and users are seamlessly connected – without interruption – to the secondary server, while a persistent connection layer means applications and users continue working without any delay.

"In today's competitive and cost-conscious environment, organizations rely on availability of critical tools to protect their business operations against downtime," said Nick Harmer, senior vice president of alliances for Neverfail. "We understand the importance of IT management, and are proud to provide a solution that helps IT professionals ensure the availability of SolarWinds Orion NPM."
