UK: Vodafone chooses Neverfail to deliver uninterrupted service for BlackBerries!

Vodafone UK has announced a deal with Neverfail, to deliver HA (high availability) and DR (disaster receovery) service for people using BlackBerry. HA/DR solutions are extremely common with the telecoms industry, to the point where if you are selling in to an MNO (as I’ve done lots of times previously), then these requirements are standard.

It would appear here like Vodafone have bought a monitoring solution for the BlackBerry email servers which can also do things like automatically restart systems, or failover to a secondary server. Alerting will also be thrown in to notify staff.

All this sounds like a good thing, but obviously it does make you wonder about the reliability of the existing BlackBerry system - I’m saying nothing about that, let your fingers do the typing in to Google if more info whets your data-appetite!
