Education

The education sector has its own unique issues: primarily, resource and budget.

Hard-pressed IT departments are always working to limited budgets but need to perform ‘miracles’ when keeping schools / colleges / university environments available to staff and students alike.

Need to make high availability protection an absolute breeze?

Marathon’s everRun solution is a perfect fit, providing high availability resilience to multiple applications typically on a small hardware footprint.

More than 21,000 schools in 150 local authorities across the UK use Capita SIMS (Schools Information Management System). As far as they are concerned, this is their business critical environment, managing all parts of a school’s administration including curriculum planning, lesson structures, pupil attendance, pupil / parent contact information and learning assessments.

Marathon everRun can protect this most critical environment from a single affordable, easy to manage solution. Other protected applications can include:

school email;
biometric cashless catering EPOS systems;
secure access systems;
all Windows server based systems.

“It’s reassuring to know that we are able to protect our mission critical applications at the click of a button on a simple user interface. It really does make high availability protection an absolute breeze. We enjoy great customer service from the 24/7 Uptime team.”

Damian Edwards, IT Manager, Lakelands School.
