Double-Take Virtual Recovery Assistant
Downtime associated with migration is one of the major barriers to moving physical servers to virtual machines. Double-Take and the Virtual Recovery Assistant (VRA) can replicate changes to data in real-time, allowing end users to continue to access production applications right up until the moment at which the workload is migrated.
Virtual Recovery Assistant (VRA), a feature of Double-Take® for Windows, automates the protection of workloads running on physical servers, moving them to virtual machines automatically in the event of a server outage or site-wide disaster. It also simplifies the process of migrating to VMware® ESX virtual machines by automating the provisioning of the virtual environment and reducing end-user downtime associated with traditional physical-to-virtual (P2V) migration products.
The Double-Take Virtual Recovery Assistant (VRA) reduces the complex, often manual, steps required to ready the DR environment for when configuring virtualized protection. It does the work of provisioning the target virtual machine for the user- eliminating the need to setup the new virtual machine, install an operating system, patches or applications. For workloads which need more room to grow, VRA also allows users to easily increase parameters such as disk capacity, allocated memory, and the number of processors available to the application once it's running in a virtual machine.
The Double-Take Virtual Recovery Assistant (VRA) provides:
- Effortless migration from physical systems or other virtualization platforms to virtual machines running on VMware Infrastructure.
- Reduced hardware expenses and improved manageability by virtualizing existing physical production and disaster recovery servers on VMware Infrastructure
- Lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) by reducing the number of software licenses required at the disaster recovery site when used for protection of physical systems
- Simplified protection by automating the installation of Double-Take on production systems and the provisioning of disaster recovery virtual machines.
