Double-Take® for Virtual Systems and VMware Infrastructure
Virtualization is one of the fastest-growing technologies in mainstream Information Technology (IT) today. Market-leaders like VMware and Microsoft are pushing this growth by placing increasing focus on providing customers with the ability to consolidate servers and easily deploy development and test environments. The benefit of virtualization technologies such as these is clearly evident - they allow businesses to improve their IT efficiency while continuing to drive down costs.
Double-Take Software offers two products for virtualization:
- Double-Take for Virtual Systems - Protection and recovery for VMware or Microsoft virtual machines
- Double-Take for VMware Infrastructure - Protection and recovery for VMware ESX Servers
Protection and recovery for VMware or Microsoft virtual machines
Protecting the data on a virtual machine is absolutely crucial. Double-Take for Virtual Systems is the industry's first disaster recovery and availability solution designed for virtualized server environments. Double-Take for Virtual Systems deploys easily within each virtual session to protect each individual application independently. The patented Double-Take architecture allows you to design and implement the solution that's right for your business.
As you evolve your IT infrastructures and leverage virtualization to help address your scalability and manageability needs, it is important that you also evolve your data protection strategy as well. Double-Take meets this challenge by providing proven, reliable data replication and high availability capabilities that work just as well in virtual systems as they do on their physical counterparts.
When you combine the accessible data protection capabilities of Double-Take with the flexibility and efficiency of virtual systems, you have no excuse for not keeping your company's most valuable asset - it's data - safe:
- Double-Take can protect data from either the Host OS (protecting all of the virtual systems on a server) or the Guest OS (protecting the same way as physical servers).
- Double-Take can provide continuous data protection of the virtual systems and fail them over to another physical host within minutes.
- Leveraging virtual systems at the disaster recovery site, one can deploy fewer physical servers and provide autonomous virtual targets for each client / business.
Due to its patented architecture and feature set, Double-Take is the proven leader in real-time data protection for virtual systems.

Protection and recovery for VMware ESX Servers.
Virtualization technologies like VMware ESX server provide the ability to run multiple virtualized operating systems on a single physical server, saving you money, improving IT efficiency and optimizing the computing resources in your environment. But this proliferation of virtual machines also means that all of your eggs are in one basket. So, how do you cost effectively protect and recover virtual machines?
That's why we created Double-Take® for VMware Infrastructure -- a comprehensive solution that protects ESX-based virtual machines and provides administrators centralized management capabilities for ease of use and lower total cost of ownership. 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 VMware Infrastructure captures changes regularly, keeping the target virtual disk(s) up to date and ready for recovery at any time. In a disaster or outage, the replicated virtual machine can be started on a second ESX server with the most recent data. Double-Take for VMware Infrastructure has a flexible licensing model - there is no per-host charge; instead, licenses protect groups of virtual machines, regardless of the host or configuration.
