DoubleTake for Virtualisation

Double-Take for Virtual Systems

Protecting the data on a virtual machine is absolutely crucial. Double-Take for Virtual Systems is the industry's first disaster recovery and availability solution designed for virtualized server environments. Double-Take for Virtual Systems deploys easily within each virtual session to protect each individual application independently. The patented Double-Take architecture allows you to design and implement the solution that's right for your business.

Complete Data Protection and Disaster Recovery for Virtual Machines with Double-Take for Virtual Systems

As you evolve your IT infrastructures and leverage virtualization to help address your scalability and manageability needs, it is important that you also evolve your data protection and disaster recovery strategy for virtual machines as well. Double-Take for Virtual Systems is an affordable and easy-to-use solution that provides proven, flexible, and reliable data protection and disaster recovery capabilities for virtual machines.

Key Benefits:

    Complete Data Protection: Double-Take can protect data from either the Host OS protecting all of the virtual systems on a server or the Guest OS (protecting the same way as physical servers).
    Maximize Uptime: Double-Take can provide continuous data protection of the virtual systems and fail them over to another physical host within minutes.
    Cost-Effective: Using virtual systems at the disaster recovery site, you can deploy fewer physical servers and provide autonomous virtual targets for each client / business.

Double-Take for VMware Infrastructure

Double-Take for VMware Infrastructure greatly reduces downtime and data loss in virtual environments, making it an ideal component for customers implementing cost-effective disaster recovery and business continuity plans. Double-Take for VMware Infrastructure replicates the entire virtual machine: the OS, applications and data, allowing you to replicate everything to any location and resume operations with minimal downtime.

VMware® ESX Virtual Machine Protection with Double-Take® for VMware Infrastructure

Double-Take® for VMware Infrastructure is an affordable and easy-to-use software product that protects VMware ESX virtual machines and provides administrators centralized management capabilities for ease of use and lower total cost of ownership. Double-Take for VMware Infrastructure replicates the entire virtual machine: the OS, applications and data, allowing you to replicate everything to any location and resume operations with minimal downtime.

Key Benefits:

    Easy Recovery: Double-Take for VMware Infrastructure captures changes regularly, keeping the target virtual disk(s) up to date and ready for recovery at any time.
    Maximize Uptime: In a disaster or outage, the replicated virtual machine can be started on a second ESX server with the most recent data within minutes.
    Cost-Effective: Double-Take for VMware Infrastructure has a flexible licensing model - there is no per-host charge; instead, licenses protect groups of virtual machines, regardless of the host or configuration.

Double-Take for Hyper-V

Complete, Flexible Hyper-V Virtual Machine Protection

Double-Take® for Hyper-V™ replicates and fails over Microsoft® Hyper-V virtual machines in real-time, locally or over any distance, without complexity. Double-Take for Hyper-V frees you from proprietary SAN replication technology, allowing you to use any available storage hardware to store virtual machine data in production or at the DR site.

Key Benefits:

•     Live migration over geographical distances: Double-Take for Hyper-V allows you to replicate and failover Hyper-V virtual machines in real-time locally or over geographic distances without the expense and complexity of other solutions.
•     Auto discover and rapid provisioning:  Double-Take for Hyper-V integrates seamlessly with Hyper-V management interfaces to allows you to see a listing of all virtual machines in the environment and easily select which workloads to protect.
•     Live disaster recovery test without production downtime: Double-Take for Hyper-V allows you to bring up a replicated virtual machine in testing mode to make sure it works without affecting the production environment and then shut it down and resume protection of the production workload

Flexible Protection - Unlike SAN-based protection of virtual machine data, software-based replication using Double-Take for Hyper-V means you have the flexibility to:

    select and protect virtual machines on a VM-by-VM basis, allowing you to protect and recover a single virtual machine or all virtual machines on a specified Hyper-V host;
    replicate and failover virtual machines to different Hyper-V hosts in different locations. One set of virtual machines can be replicated to and failover to a Hyper-V host in one city while another set of virtual machines can be replicated to and failover to a Hyper-V host in an entirely different city;
    configure replication options such as compression and throttling, monitor, manage and failover all virtual machines independently of one another.
