Key Applications


Exchange

To say that email is a critical application is an obvious understatement. Few applications are more integral to an organization's day-to-day operation. For many companies, an hour of Exchange downtime can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars in lost productivity.

How can you justify a disaster recovery and high availability solution for Microsoft Exchange that does not provide immediate and up-to-the-second recovery of Exchange data?

Double-Take Software provides organizations with continuous data replication solutions for Exchange disaster recovery, remote availability, and high availability by protecting all changes to Exchange data at the byte level rather than the full file or block level. You get up-to-the-second Exchange data protection with maximum performance and minimal use of your network and system resources.

Double-Take® Application Manager for Exchange demonstrates our commitment to providing customers with innovative solutions for protecting business-critical data. It integrates the management of application protection into a single console allowing for increased automation and ease of setup, resulting in improved protection, reduced recovery times, and a higher level of application availability.

Data replication solutions for Exchange from Double Take Software can safely protect Exchange data to any location across the city or across the country. By taking advantage of its built-in bandwidth control and extended queuing features, Double-Take can use your current infrastructure to protect your existing Exchange servers to any other location.


SQL Server

Other than email, just about every critical application in your company probably relies on a relational database. So ask yourself: Can you backup your SQL Server 24/7 without impacting production? How long would it take your DBA to get SQL up and running if the whole server crashed?

Most Microsoft SQL protection strategies involve a nightly full backup of the data, typically to tape. However, this method only protects yesterday's work. Any data that has been entered into the database since the nightly backup is not protected and would have to be manually recreated if the production system failed. Since critical data is created and manipulated every second of every work day, you have to ask yourself: Can you afford to lose up to an entire day's worth of data?

A SQL Server protection strategy supported by Double-Take Software provides up to the minute data replication capabilities for all SQL data. Double-Take Software provides organization's with a solution for SQL protection that provides distinct advantages over manual Microsoft SQL built-in replication capabilities: Double-Take Software saves more data real-time and restores that data much faster.
With features from Double Take Software such as built-in bandwidth control, data can be replicated and restored over long distances without service degradation, putting the recovery and restore responsibilities for remote locations in the hands of the experts back at the datacenter.

Virtual Servers

Virtual Server Disaster Recovery

Many-to-one Application Failover

Virtualization is one of the fastest-growing technologies in mainstream Information Technology (IT) today. Market-leaders like VMWare and Microsoft are pushing this growth by placing increasing focus on providing customers with the ability to consolidate servers and easily deploy development and test environments. The benefit of virtualization technologies such as these is clearly evident - they allow businesses to improve their IT efficiency while continuing to drive down costs.

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 strategy as well. Double-Take meets this challenge by providing proven, reliable data replication and high availability capabilities that work just as well in virtual systems as they do on their physical counterparts.

When you combine the accessible data protection capabilities of Double-Take with the flexibility and efficiency of virtual systems, you have no excuse for not keeping your company's most valuable asset - it's data - safe:

• 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).

• Double-Take can provide continuous data protection of the virtual systems and fail them over to another physical host within minutes.

• Leveraging virtual systems at the disaster recovery site, one can deploy fewer physical servers and provide autonomous virtual targets for each client / business.

Due to its patented architecture and feature set, Double-Take is the proven leader in real-time data protection for virtual systems.
