Double-Take for Virtual Systems

Double-Take for Virtual Systems is the industry's first disaster recovery and availability solution designed for virtualized server environments. Implementing a disaster recovery 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, eliminating the need to deploy and manage multiple target machines. The result is a very high level of application protection and availability at a much lower TCO. Virtual server solutions offer improved efficiency and lower IT costs. Double-Take for Virtual Systems was developed specifically for virtual environments to offer businesses advanced solutions for protecting these highly valuable servers.

When you combine the accessible data protection capabilities of Double-Take with the flexibility and efficiency of virtual systems, you have the best technologies for building a cost-effective disaster recovery solution. Therefore, your customers will have no excuse for not keeping their 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.
