Dubai, 25 February, 2010– Double-Take® Software (NASDAQ: DBTK), a leading provider of affordable Workload Optimisation products, is pleased to announce its presence at Microsoft® Tech Ed Middle East 2010.
Double-Take Software provides affordable software products for high availability and data recovery. The company’s products and services enable customers to protect and recover business-critical data and applications such as Microsoft Exchange, SQL, and SharePoint in both physical and virtual environments.
Microsoft® Tech Ed is a perfect platform to promote Double-Take® Software’s technologies and the company is set to announce major shifts within the virtualisation domain with specific solutions for Windows 2008 and Microsoft’s Hyper-V. Event attendees will have the opportunity to learn more about the Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V architecture, discuss features for high availability for Hyper-V and find out how organizations can prepare disaster recovery solutions ahead of time by implementing this pioneering software.
With the launch of Windows Server 2008 R2 at the end of 2009, Microsoft’s virtualisation solution has finally arrived at maturity. Hyper-V Version 2 is considered as the best Windows virtualisation solution on the market today. However, Microsoft does not yet dispose of all the functions required to respond to all the virtualisation needs of businesses and thereforeheavily relies on its ecosystem in order to complete its offer. With its wide range of products, providing solutions for all types of availability, backup and data recovery issues, Double-Take SoftwareTM, is extremely well placed to play this role on several levels. In terms of products for Hyper-V environments, the software provider recommends three flagship products as well as an optional add-on to complete the panel.
Double-Take MoveTM
Double-Take Move streamlines the traditional migration process with real-time data movement and hardware-independent conversion technology that make workloads simple for administrators to move — and minimizes the impact on user productivity.
Double-Take Backup
Designed for small businesses or remote agencies, this solution enables continuous server backup, hardware-independent on-demand restoration and any-point-in-time recovery options in addition to allowing protected data to be sent efficiently over WAN connections to a central location. Double-Take Backup combines continuous replication with the ability to recover to any point-in-time (CDP), document lifecycle management (HSM) and data deduplication.
Double-Take AvailibilityTM (for Virtual Host)
Specially designed for virtualized environments including Hyper-V, the solution makes it possible to respond to even the most demanding requirements. It enables users to replicate virtual machines from one virtualisation host to another in real time and automatically failover those virtual machines to the host in the event of disaster. Users are able to access the most up-to-date data immediately following a disaster, maintenance or downtime and the solution therefore offers an even better RTO than Double-Take BackupTM.
Double-Take GeoClusterTM
Available as an additional add-on with Double-Take AvailabilityTM, Double-Take Software’s GeoCluster integrates into Windows Server 2008 and Hyper-V to provide additional protection to Clusters MSCS (Microsoft Clustered Service). Offering real-time replication, GeoCluster extends the clustering capabilities provided as part of Windows Server by making it possible to build a failover cluster without the need for shared storage, allowing cluster nodes to be in different physical locations.
