virtualization software enables customers to realize significant
business benefits, including reduced capital and operating expenses,
assured business continuity, strengthened security, and reduced power
and cooling requirements. Double-Take for VMware Infrastructure
protects VMware virtualized environments by capturing changes regularly
and keeping the target virtual disk(s) up to date and ready for
recovery at any time. In a disaster or power outage, the replicated
virtual machine can be started on a second VMware ESX Server host with
the most recent data.

"The next stage in
virtualization adoption will be centered on customers leveraging the
technology to lower organizational risk," said John Humphreys, analyst
from IDC. "The offering of Double-Take for VMware Infrastructure
enables customers to economically bring business continuity services to
a much larger percentage of their applications."

Double-Take
for VMware Infrastructure 3.0 offers an easy and affordable way for
businesses of all sizes to protect their critical data. Compatible with
VMware ESX Server versions 3 and later and VMware VirtualCenter version
2 or later, other key features include rapid deployment, flexible
configuration and quick recovery features.

"When
Double-Take for VMware Infrastructure was initially released a year
ago, the goal was to provide a reliable and easy way to protect virtual
machines running on VMware ESX Server," said Bob Roudebush, director
of solutions engineering, Double-Take Software. "The latest release of
Double-Take for VMware Infrastructure is a compelling disaster recovery
product for customers virtualizing their business-critical workloads. A
new automated failover testing feature, for example, allows IT
administrators to practice recoveries of virtual machines without
disrupting their production environment."
