Marathon Teams With Softek

LITTLETON, Mass. -- Marathon Technologies Corporation, the leading provider of automated, fault tolerant-class availability solutions for virtual and physical environments announced today that is has signed a distribution agreement with SOFTEK, Inc., a leading software developer company, which serves a broad spectrum of pharmaceutical companies like Johnson & Johnson, Zenith Laboratories and Smithkline Beecham, will distribute Marathons everRunTM fault tolerant-class technology in tandem with their comprehensive set of IT solutions. In addition, the two companies will work cooperatively on joint marketing, sales and lead generation initiatives.

The agreement comes at a critical time in the evolution of the pharmaceutical industry. Spurred by government, consumer, industry and media influences, the industry is facing a growing number of regulatory pressures concerning the handling of critical prescription drug tracking and monitoring data. These increasingly complex regulations make it critical that manufacturers have systems in place that enable them to fully comply with these regulations and protect sensitive information.

With the new alliance, pharmaceutical companies can take advantage of Marathon’s everRun fault tolerant-class availability solutions to ensure that systems and applications remain up and running and that sensitive drug tracking and monitoring data is protected.

“We are pleased to partner with Marathon, at a time when many of our customers have been looking for a solution that would help them meet regulatory guidelines surrounding the protection of critical prescription drug data,” said Julian Londoño, SOFTEK President. “Pairing our software with Marathon’s everRun technology enables us to meet this need by offering proven, automated availability solutions.”
