When your Microsoft® Exchange infrastructure goes down, so does your productivity. Ensure uninterrupted e-mail access and availability continuous Microsoft Exchange data replication and Exchange data protection solutions from the experts at Double-Take® Software.

Think about how much your business depends on Microsoft Exchange. Then consider how much you stand to lose in lost productivity, revenues, and goodwill if your Exchange infrastructure goes down. It's no surprise that companies estimate e-mail downtime can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars per hour. To protect yourself against these crippling losses, you can't settle for periodic tape backups that can take a day or more to restore your Exchange data from - and result in the loss of any data generated after the most recent tape backup. You need a continual, up-to-the-second copy of your data that you can access in the event of a disaster or unplanned outage.

Exchange High Availability : Protect against site, hardware, and regional failures with onsite or remote data and server redundancy. To ensure maximum productivity, our High Availability Solution replicates your Exchange data and services to another target server, located locally or remotely. Should the production server suffer an outage, Double-Take will immediately activate the target server, starting services and redirecting all clients away from the failed server. Failover often occurs without users even realizing there was an outage.

Exchange Disaster Recovery : Protect Exchange data against outages, natural disasters, and other crises. Our disaster recovery solutions replicate your Exchange data to servers at remote locations, either another corporate office or a third party co-location facility. When an outage or disaster strikes, you will have immediate access to up-to-the-second data for rapid recovery of the production servers. Gone are the days of lost data and extended rebuild periods experienced with tape-based recovery.

Jay Wessel, Senior Director of Technology, Boston Celtics: "We needed a solution that would be rock-solid and would integrate with our current Exchange and Windows environments –when Microsoft recommended we look at Double-Take, we knew we were on to something. If something happened, we didn’t want Microsoft to turn to us and say ‘told you so.’ Double-Take, therefore, was the clear solution."

Julian Morris Senior Vice President, Director of Information Technology Draft Worldwide: "Improved productivity, easier maintenance, boosted morale, and virtually no down time-the combined Windows Powered NAS and Double-Take Software add up to significant savings for Draft Worldwide. I estimate a return on value of between $45 thousand and $60 thousand a year."
