Double-Take for Virtual Systems
Protecting Virtual Systems with Double-TakeĀ® Software
Virtualization is one of the fastest-growing technologies in mainstream Information Technology (IT) today. The benefit of virtualization technologies is clearly evident - they allow businesses to improve their IT efficiency while continuing to drive down costs.
Double-Take Software offers Double-Take for Virtual Systems - Protection and recovery for VMware or Microsoft virtual machines.
As you evolve your IT infrastructures and engage virtualization to help address your scalability and manageability needs, it is important that you also evolve your data protection strategy as well. Double-Take meets this challenge by providing proven, reliable data replication and high availability capabilities that work just as well in virtual systems as they do on their physical counterparts.
When you combine the accessible data protection capabilities of Double-Take with the flexibility and efficiency of virtual systems, you have no excuse for not keeping your 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.
Using virtual systems at the disaster recovery site, you can deploy fewer physical servers and provide autonomous virtual targets for each client / business.
Due to its patented architecture and feature set, Double-Take is the proven leader in real-time data protection for virtual systems.
