New DR Capabilities for Double-Take 7.1

Better performnce for migration, HA and DR

Vision Solutions, Inc. announced Double-Take 7.1 with the improvements, end-users and partners will benefit from new options for DR and improved software performance.

Companies operating on Windows and Linux server environments can utilize Double Take 7.1 with following enhancements:

  • Faster time to migration and protection with increased initial synchronization speed

  • Faster cutover time; up to 50% decrease in time required to failover

  • Full server one-to-one migration and protection for users with Linux OSs

In addition to increased functionality for existing products within the Double-Take 7.1 family, including Double-Take availability and Double-Take Move, this release includes Double-Take DR.

As IT infrastructure becomes more complex, Double-Take 7.1 helps hybrid datacenters become a reality for more businesses. Its effective data migration, protection and availability products are included in a single, unified platform, which drives value for customers. In addition, the updates allow businesses to manage SLAs across various workloads in a heterogeneous environment.

Companies today must be prepared for BC, especially when there are many different technology platforms working together – and surprisingly, many do not have a plan in place whatsoever,” said Tim Laplante, director of product strategy, Vision Solutions. “Updates to Double-Take 7.1 ensure that more companies can benefit from data protection solutions – both for companies with the most sophisticated business-critical data protection needs as well as companies just now beginning this process. We’ve removed barriers for first-time adopters of DR solutions so that all companies, regardless of where they are at in their BC planning, can implement this important strategic initiative to prevent data loss.”

With Double-Take DR, users can leverage the DR capabilities without needing to invest in a more comprehensive HA component. The offering makes DR solutions accessible to more mid-market companies as they begin to understand the need to properly protect growing quantities of business-critical data in the cloud.

Double-Take 7.1 migrates and protects critical business data across any platform, on any hardware or residing in any environment,” said Adam Downie, technical services lead, Mercury Information Technology. “These solution updates improve the user experience across our platforms with superior software performance. For our customers, Double-Take 7.1 provides the flexibility to expand their storage infrastructure moving forward. This means they can easily select multiple destinations for their data to reside – across any variety of physical servers, on Hyper-V VMs, or in our Azure cloud. Thanks to Vision Solutions, our customers can confidently and swiftly execute their migrations while their data is fully protected.

According to industry reports, many companies are moving to storage environments hosted in the cloud as part of diversification and cost-saving strategies. With the metered usage option, MSPs can utilize Double-Take DR to provide DR-as-a-service (DRaaS) to their customers with reporting and license management features.
