[edit] Products

[edit] Double-Take for Windows

Double-Take continuously replicates changes made to application data on a primary operating server to a duplicate server located on- or off-site. Because the duplicate server can commence operating in place of the primary server at almost any time, the software facilitates rapid failover and application recovery in the event of a disaster or other service interruption.

The software provides real-time backup and automatic failover capabilities for physical and virtual servers for disaster recovery, high availability and centralized backup.

Includes a “Full-Server Failover” option to transfer your OS configuration, applications and data to your target server; and “Server Recovery Option” which allows entire server recovery on demand.


[edit] Double-Take for Virtualization

Double-Take for VMware Infrastructure replicates the entire virtual machine: the OS, applications and data, allowing you to replicate everything to any location and resume operations with minimal downtime.

Double-Take for Virtual Systems is a patented architecture that deploys within each virtual session to protect each individual application independently.


[edit] GeoCluster

GeoCluster extends the capabilities of Microsoft Cluster Service (MSCS) to create a stretch cluster.


[edit] Small Business Server

Double-Take for Windows Small Business Server Edition allows you to restore access to data and applications by continuously capturing changes to data as they happen and replicating those changes to another server at any location. The technology uses minimum bandwidth, and is hardware and application independent.
