Data Replication with Double-Take

To meet the new requirements of Enterprise Data Protection, network managers are faced with the challenge of overcoming the limitations of traditional backup technology. A solution that addresses the weaknesses of traditional backup can only be practical if it can be implemented at a reasonable price and without significantly disrupting existing systems or processes. To be effective in the real world, any potential solutions must be able to work within many differing scenarios.

Double-Take is a real-time multi-platform data protection software product that creates and maintains an up-to-the-moment copy of production data on a high availability or disaster recovery server. In the event of a server failure, or even a full site disaster, data is immediately available on the backup server.

Double-Take bridges the gap between the capabilities of traditional backup systems and the demands of today’s LAN and client-server applications. By providing economical and easily managed protection for all applications, Double-Take brings near-perfect data protection and availability within reach of all network users.

By continuously maintaining an online copy of server data on another server, Double-Take reduces or eliminates data loss and limits downtime to seconds. Combined with existing backup technologies and complemented with application-specific solutions as needed, Double-Take is uniquely suited to meet the new requirements for enterprise data protection.
