High Availability and
Failover Solutions from Double
Take® Software - 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. Hardware mirroring
ensures that not a single
second's worth of data will be
lost, but the price of all the
hardware replication can be more
than many IT budgets can afford.
A
more cost-effective answer 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 .With
Double-Take Software solutions
all of your applications can
have cost-effective, real-time
data protection that ensures
high availability.
"With
customers buying and installing
record amounts of
storage-hardware capacity, the
need for storage software has
never been greater," says Rhoda
Phillips, research manager for
IDC storage software. "Buyers
are particularly interested in
replication software to help
ensure that their
disaster-recovery and
business-continuity plans are
viable in planning for recovery
from any unwelcome and
unpredictable events that might
occur." –
