Double-Take Software has extensive experience protecting the following applications:

Recovery made easy:

Even the most thorough business continuity plan is no substitute for an equally thorough disaster recovery plan. No enterprise IT infrastructure is immune from the many disasters - disk crashes, power failures, human error, natural disasters - that will inevitably stop the flow of data at one or more of your facilities. When that time comes, IT will be on the hook for dusting off the disaster recovery plan and restoring the valuable data that had been created since the last back up. Will your disaster recovery plan work?

If your disaster recovery plan includes recovery solutions from Double-Take Software, the answer will be a resounding "yes." Tape-based disaster recovery can only restore data to the point of the last backup, which was most likely the prior night. Any data created since the last backup will be lost. An effective disaster recovery plan requires a comprehensive data protection plan which includes tape backup, whole server recovery, failover and continuous data replication.

Double-Take Software can be combined with your existing tape backup solution for a more comprehensive disaster recovery plan. Double-Take is a disaster recovery software based on asynchronous real-time replication and automatic failover to provide cost-effective business continuity for Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, virtual systems, file servers, and many other applications. Double Take provides continuous data protection by sending an up-to-the-minute copy of the data as it is being changed to the target server. Features such as built-in bandwidth control allows data to be replicated to a remote source, far from harms way of a disaster such as hurricanes, tornadoes, and brown-outs. That same bandwidth control allows data to be restored within minutes.

As businesses come to increasingly depend on continuous access to their data (including systems formerly misunderstood as non-critical), ensuring that their data is available on demand is of paramount importance. To avoid this problem, businesses can deploy expensive high availability measures, but they're often not cost-effective for the file and print servers that actually hold the bulk of day-to-day operational data. Enhance your existing disaster recovery plan with Double-Take to provide a solution that protects important data by copying it in real time, without the hassles or time gaps inherent in traditional backup systems. This combination provides sound protection and a better disaster recovery plan for a fraction of the cost of hardware replication or clustering technologies.

If you are involved with updating your disaster recovery plan in any way, recovery solutions from Double-Take Software are absolutely essential to complement the more commonly found tape-based backup solutions.

Recovery made easy:

In today's business climate, the high availability of applications including email is crucial. The advent of technology such as RIM BlackBerry devices and other mobile messaging solutions means that not only can employees access email wherever they go, the expectations of email are that it is constantly available. How can you protect yourself against downtime and ensure complete data protection with 24/7 high availability?

Traditional solutions, such as tape backup and hardware mirroring, are not without flaws. Tape backup poses a potential risk in that data backups must be performed when the system is idle - meaning that as much as a day's worth of data could be lost. Tape recovery time can also be below many business's recovery time objectives (and does not provide high availability).

A more cost-effective answer to a high availability solution is asynchronous host-based replication for high availability. Support for non-proprietary hardware and storage systems means you can leverage your existing resources. You'll also get real-time data protection without distance limitations ensuring high availability for all your business-critical applications - including email.

Real-time data replication at the byte level, regardless of application, is a much more efficient use of computing and bandwidth resources for high availability. With Double-Take Software solutions all of your applications can have cost-effective, real-time data protection and high availability.

High Availability and Failover Features from Double-Take Software solutions.

Implementing a high availability solution can be simplified using virtual technologies and result in a much lower overall cost. Because most applications typically require their own dedicated server, providing high availability or failover protection to these applications requires a dedicated target server. With Double-Take, each application can replicate and fail over to a dedicated virtual session on a single physical server, ensuring high availability and eliminating the need to deploy and manage multiple target machines. The result is an above standard level of high availability and application protection at a much lower TCO.
