"Restoring from tape fails 50% of the time in distributed organisations and mid-sized companies." – Baroudi Bloor (www.hurwitz.com) (now Hurwitz and Associates)
In companies with distributed branch offices, data protection strategies may not have kept up with the reality that branch or remote offices now contain customer databases, email servers and financial information that are critical to the company's day-to-day operation. The traditional approach - relying on tape backup for branch-office data protection - is costly and risky. For example, in addition to the initial tape backup hardware, software, and installation costs for each branch, add the continual costs of tape media, maintenance, and off-site transport and storage. Many companies also can't afford to have IT staff in branch offices, so they incur additional IT support costs for the regular technical maintenance and verification of the branch backups.
Continuous, simplified server backup and recovery
Double-Take® Software’s solutions enable continuous server backup, on-demand restoration and any-point-in-time restoration options that are right for your business size. Our solutions reduce costs by simplifying the protection and recovery of important systems and continuously replicate changes to data, applications and the source server's operating system, protecting the entire server. When it's time to recover, we allow you to configure and perform recoveries on-demand to physically dissimilar hardware or virtual servers, with added validation steps to make sure recovery will go as planned. With Double-Take® Software you can reliably and cost-effectively back up locally or back up branch office data from a central location, in real-time to disk. By replicating branch office data to a central location, you eliminate the need to do backups in the field and can recover data more quickly.
- Continuous Replication - Our solutions provide continuous data replication over any distance so you always have access to a current copy of your data, applications and OS.
- Fast, Flexible, On-demand Recovery - When a system volume or entire server fails, recovery of both system state and data can be performed from the management console. This reduces the number of steps and time needed to recover a server to its original state, improving achievable recovery time objectives (RTO). The recovery process can account for a variety of differences between the original source and recovery server, prohibit incompatible differences, and warn the user of possible performance degradations after recovery. Our solutions replicate and can recover between any configuration of physical and virtual systems.
- Streamlined Branch and Remote Office Backup - You don't have to rely on a costly and complex approach to branch office data protection. With Double-Take® Software you can reliably and cost effectively back up branch office data from a central location, in real-time to disk. Because our products are designed to be WAN-friendly, they are ideal for remote office and branch office backup scenarios. By replicating data to a central location, you can eliminate the need to do backups in the field and recover data more quickly.
