Woodland Hills, CA – April 26, 2007 – Key Information Systems, a leading technology firm in the western United States, is teaming up with Marathon Technologies as the exclusive exhibit partner to introduce the new Marathon v-Available initiative to attendees at the Server Blade Summit May 1-3 at the Anaheim Marriott in Anaheim, CA.

v-Available™ brings Marathon’s mainframe-class everRun™ high availability technology to virtual environments and is the first solution that will provide companies with reliable protection for critical virtual workloads.  This breakthrough announcement comes at a critical time for the mainstream adoption of server virtualization, which has achieved a less than ten percent deployment rate on x86 servers to date, according to leading analyst firm IDC.

With this new initiative, Marathon is enabling companies of any size to take advantage of fault tolerant, high availability and disaster recovery solutions for virtual machines simply, at low cost and with complete confidence.  Marathon’s everRun line of high availability products protects Microsoft Windows applications from leading sources of downtime while eliminating the need for costly and complex failover processes, specialized applications, or proprietary server hardware.

“Marathon Technologies is a recognized leader in high availability and one of our strongest solution provider partners,” said Pete Elliot, Key’s Director of Marketing.  “We are very pleased to have the opportunity to help them introduce this significant new offering in the ideal forum of the Server Blade Summit with its focus on virtualization.”

Key’s exhibit in booth #400 at the Server Blade Summit will also feature the latest in blade virtualization technology with IBM BladeCenter servers running VMware virtual infrastructure software and consolidation tools for achieving significant system flexibility, scalability, cost savings and management efficiencies.  A Premier Sponsor, Key has been deeply involved in developing the focus and content for the Summit.  Key will also host a book signing by IT industry veteran and analyst Barb Goldworm with her brand-new book, Blade Servers and Virtualization: Transforming Enterprise Computing while Reducing Costs.
