Windows Server Multi-site Clustering With Double-Take® Availability
Applications, like all man-made creations, fail; it's just a fact of life in the information technology world. The goal of the IT department is to mitigate the risk of downtime and prepare for recoverability of critical applications in an efficient manner. There are many different methods for restoring application service depending on the criticality of the application including rebuilding servers and restoring from backups, which may take days to complete. For business critical applications, faster recovery is imperative to keeping the business processes which depend on them going. Most organizations consider applications like e-mail, financial accounting software, ERP and CRM applications to be the backbone of their business processes. So what's an IT administrator to do?
Multi-Site Hyper-V™ Clusters Using GeoCluster™
Double-Take® Software and Microsoft are offering a joint disaster recovery solution for virtualized environments based on GeoCluster™ from Double-Take. This joint solution will allow customers to implement Windows Server® Failover Clustering without shared storage or geographic restrictions, eliminating a single point of failure (the SAN) and giving you the freedom to locate Hyper-V™ cluster nodes anywhere. Combined with the Quick Migration features of Hyper-V, administrators will more easily be able to move Virtual Machines (VMs) across hundreds or even thousands of miles. A software approach encouraged by Microsoft, GeoCluster provides the technology and flexibility you need to ensure maximum availability for Hyper-V VMs at a fraction of the cost.
Double-Take® Flex Whitepaper
More Functionality, Less infrastructure: Managed IT with Double-Take® Flex
Double-Take® Move WhitepaperMigrating applications, systems and data has always been a challenge for IT staff; in fact, most have just gotten used to the pain and suffering that comes with migrations. To properly migrate applications and data to new platforms involves risk and takes time to complete, meanwhile users have to stop changing data while it's migrated. The larger the storage footprint, the longer that it's going to take, and migrations routinely take hours or days to complete.
Virtual server technologies provide government agencies with the ability to do more with less, enabling the consolidation of data and applications onto a single server. The result is reduced costs, simplified IT management, and minimized space requirements. The need to protect these virtualized systems is paramount and in situations where agencies are looking to reduce the costs associated with COOP, virtualization can enable easier recovery without a great deal of additional cost. Double-Take® from Double-Take® Software delivers enterprise-class disaster recovery and high availability solutions for cutting-edge virtual environments. Double-Take is the industry-leading replication and availability solution that offers local and long-distance protection against most any outage, from a failed power supply to a regional disaster.
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.
Double-Take Extends Support for Hyper-V
Server virtualization is hot and Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V is likely to be a force in this space despite lacking a few features offered by VMware. Double-Take Software provides a cost-effective disaster recovery (DR) solution for Microsoft Hyper-V environments that small and medium-size businesses (SMBs) can afford—helping Microsoft close the feature gap with VMware.
TimeData Whitepaper
When an organization depends on its data, the challenge is to be able to recover that data with the minimal amount of data loss and in the shortest possible time should the unimaginable happen. While most organizations focus on disaster recovery so they can resume operations quickly after a major outage, it is just as important for those organizations to excel at operational recovery in order to have a complete business continuity plan. This whitepaper addresses the current challenges for operational recovery and introduces a fast and efficient software-based Continuous Data Protection (CDP) product, TimeData™, which allows companies to easily recover their data from any point in time.
Double-Take Virtual Systems and Disaster RecoveryThe need to protect virtualized systems is paramount and in situations where companies are looking to reduce the costs associated with disaster recovery planning, virtualization can enable easier recovery without a great deal of additional cost. Double-Take® from Double-Take® Software delivers enterprise-class disaster recovery and high availability solutions for cutting-edge virtual environments.

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.
The Double-Take Virtual Recovery Assistant Whitepaper
One of the chief concerns that IT decision makers face is how to most effectively migrate between disparate server and storage infrastructures without halting production applications or requiring extensive manual intervention. Using a combination of real-time data replication and full-server failover technologies for workload migration can be an effective way to address this challenge.
Windows Server Multi-Site Clustering with Double-TakeImprovements to Failover Clustering do not yet provide a way to replicate the shared data used by a cluster which is truly the "last mile" in terms of building multi-site cluster architectures. GeoCluster provides a way to efficiently replicate these data changes and allow cluster nodes to quickly restore application services after a failure.
Livewire: Full-Server Protection and Recovery In Real-TimeWith solutions like tape backup, even a successful recovery results in the loss of any data that has changed since the backup was made.
