Double-Take Flex reduces the time and expense of desktop and server provisioning and management, while increasing the level of control that you have over your current infrastructure.
Double-Take Flex lets you create shared network boot volumes that can be provisioned once and assigned to many machines in order to boot from the same volume on the iSCSI SAN. This provides the flexibility for centralized management to rapidly provision multiple new workstations or servers all while keeping them highly secure. Double-Take Flex turns any Windows server into an iSCSI SAN and manages boot volumes with its built-in iSCSI tools, helping to efficiently manage single or multiple desktop or server images while creating a more flexible and dynamic infrastructure.
