Protecting Virtual Systems with Double-Take® Software
Virtualization is one of the fastest-growing technologies in mainstream Information Technology (IT) today. Market-leaders like VMware and Microsoft are pushing this growth by placing increasing focus on providing customers with the ability to consolidate servers and easily deploy development and test environments. The benefit of virtualization technologies such as these is clearly evident - they allow businesses to improve their IT efficiency while continuing to drive down costs.
As you evolve your IT infrastructures and leverage virtualization to help address your scalability and manageability needs, it is important that you also evolve your data protection strategy to keep your virtual systems safe. 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 of virtual systems 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.
- Leveraging virtual systems at the disaster recovery site, one 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.
