Stratus Technologies Acquires Marathon Technologies

Developer of application availability software in Littleton, MA

Stratus Technologies Bermuda Holdings Ltd. announced that its wholly-owned subsidiaries Stratus Technologies Bermuda Ltd., and Stratus Technologies Inc., acquired the assets of Marathon Technologies Corporation, a privately-held developer of application availability solutions based in Littleton, MA, including all of the intellectual property used in Marathon products.

Stratus Technologies, Inc., with headquarters in Maynard, MA is a provider of products and services focused on protecting critical applications from system downtime.

The addition of the Marathon everRun line, including Marathon everRun MX, a software-based, fault tolerant solution to support multi-core/multi-processor Microsoft applications, solidifies Stratus’s position as provider of availability solutions. As a result of the acquisition, Stratus will benefit from an expanded partner ecosystem, a broader software portfolio, and a larger diverse customer base.

These transactions, together with recent product introductions by Stratus, represent another milestone in its strategy: moving beyond uptime for computing platforms to providing enterprise BC through cost-effective solutions for application availability and DR services.

With an emphasis on software-based initiatives, Stratus will continue to push the boundaries of IT systems availability, delivering an expanded portfolio of enterprise solutions, while improving the affordability and accessibility of fault-tolerant computing. With its complement of availability solutions, the company increases its addressable market, and extends even further into virtualization and private cloud-computing implementations.

"The Marathon everRun portfolio and the Stratus hardware and software offerings comprise the most complete set of availability solutions ever offered by our industry. There is virtually no requirement for uptime we cannot meet," said David C. Laurello, Stratus chairman and CEO. "By adding software fault tolerance and increasing the size of Stratus’s software business through this acquisition, we have accelerated our ability to deliver a total software solution to the marketplace."

"Marathon has been a strong and productive Citrix partner," said Andy Cohen, VP of Strategic Development and Investments, Citrix Systems Inc. "Marathon everRun MX, which is built on Citrix XenServer, now becomes part of a larger group of technology innovators who are committed to application availability and customer satisfaction."

The employees of Marathon in the U.S., U.K., and Japan will be offered employment with Stratus. The majority of these employees are based at the Littleton, MA headquarters.
