The New Release of Double-Take(R)'s Flagship Product Enhances and Extends the Microsoft Virtualisation Platform with Real-Time Protection for the Hypervisor on Local and Wide-Area Networks.

DoubleTake , a leading provider of workload optimisation software, announced today the availability of Double-Take(R) for Hyper-V(TM). This is a new version Double-Take(R) for Windows dedicated to protecting Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V(TM). Double-Take(R) for Hyper-V(TM) is the one of the first real-time replication and failover solutions specifically designed for the Microsoft hypervisor, supporting both LAN and WAN.
Double-Take(R) for Hyper-V(TM) is based on Double-Take(R) Software's tried and tested replication technology. A long term relationship with Microsoft has allowed Double-Take(R) Software to develop a targeted solution which integrates seamlessly with the Microsoft environment, making it very easy to install and use.
Extending the capabilities of Hyper-V(TM)
According to industry analysts Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG), "Double-Take(R) for Hyper-V(TM) fills the gaps in terms of high availability and disaster recovery in the Microsoft offering when compared with the competition."
Despite the low cost and simplicity of the Hyper-V(TM) solution many businesses are still hesitant about deploying it because it doesn't ensure the high availability features for the protection of production servers or for robust disaster recovery planning. Double-Take(R) for Hyper-V(TM) perfectly complements the Microsoft offering.
Key Features of Double-Take(R) for Hyper-V(TM)
  • Host replication: Double-Take(R) for Hyper-V(TM) replicates the Hyper-V hypervisor at the level of the host rather than at file level.
  • Unlimited deployment: Double-Take(R) for Hyper-V(TM) supports an unlimited number of virtual machines (VMs).
  • Support of local and remote deployments: Double-Take(R) for Hyper-V(TM) has been designed to be equally effective in LAN and WAN environments.
A complementary product to Double-Take(R) Software's GeoCluster(R)
"Businesses now have an additional option when it comes to protecting their Windows server deployments, whether classical or virtualised" said Olivier Cohen, Sales Director, Double-Take France. "They have the choice of using GeoCluster in combination with Microsoft Cluster Service and Microsoft Quick Migration, or they can opt for Double-Take(R) for Hyper-V(TM).
Double-Take(R) for Hyper-V(TM) is, in fact, an easy to use, cost-effective alternative to GeoCluster(R), which delivers clustering features across distinct geographical locations to extend the capabilities of Microsoft Cluster Service (MCS).
