Double-Take for Hyper-V

Complete, Flexible Hyper-V Virtual Machine Protection

Double-Take® for Hyper-V™ replicates and fails over Microsoft® Hyper-V virtual machines in real-time, locally or over any distance, without complexity. Double-Take for Hyper-V frees you from proprietary SAN replication technology, allowing you to use any available storage hardware to store virtual machine data in production or at the DR site.

Key Benefits:

Live migration over geographical distances: Double-Take for Hyper-V allows you to replicate and failover Hyper-V virtual machines in real-time locally or over geographic distances without the expense and complexity of other solutions.
Auto discover and rapid provisioning: Double-Take for Hyper-V integrates seamlessly with Hyper-V management interfaces to allows you to see a listing of all virtual machines in the environment and easily select which workloads to protect.
Live disaster recovery test without production downtime: Double-Take for Hyper-V allows you to bring up a replicated virtual machine in testing mode to make sure it works without affecting the production environment and then shut it down and resume protection of the production workload

Flexible Protection - Unlike SAN-based protection of virtual machine data, software-based replication using Double-Take for Hyper-V means you have the flexibility to:

select and protect virtual machines on a VM-by-VM basis, allowing you to protect and recover a single virtual machine or all virtual machines on a specified Hyper-V host;
replicate and failover virtual machines to different Hyper-V hosts in different locations. One set of virtual machines can be replicated to and failover to a Hyper-V host in one city while another set of virtual machines can be replicated to and failover to a Hyper-V host in an entirely different city;
configure replication options such as compression and throttling, monitor, manage and failover all virtual machines independently of one another.

Double-Take® for Hyper-V™

Consolidating workloads with Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V saves IT organizations serious time and money. However, if a host server goes down in a disaster or outage it can take several workloads, plus profit and productivity, with it. Protecting virtualized workloads running on Hyper-V hosts in any circumstance is critical to protecting your IT investment.

Double-Take® for Hyper-V™ Feature Guide

Double-Take® for Hyper-V™ allows you to replicate and failover Hyper-V virtual machines in real-time over geographic distances without the expense and complexity of clustering and shared storage.

Real-Time Protection for Hyper-V™

Double-Take for Hyper-V builds extends the platform provided by Microsoft Windows 2008 Hyper-V to provide numerous options for protection and recoverability of your virtual machine environment. It provides real-time data and system state protection that reduce the total cost of ownership for high availability, disaster recovery and remote office recoverability projects. Double-Take for Hyper-V integrates into your existing server and storage infrastructure to provide these recoverability solutions, allowing your IT staff to spend more time solving business problems instead of struggling to overcome technical limitations all at an affordable price point.

Thinking Beyond Tape: Better Backups with Replication

There was a time when tape-based backup was widely believed to be the only feasible backup solution for remote offices. But tape backup alone is no longer the only realistic solution and centralized backup solutions are coming to the forefront.
