Double-Take Software Supports Windows Server 2008

Double-Take Software will support Microsoft Windows Server 2008. As
enterprises start adopting the newest Microsoft platform, Double-Take
Software will provide top-notch solutions to protect business critical
data and applications on the new platform.

In addition to
providing deep support for new Windows Server 2008 features,
Double-Take for Windows will also be leveraging those features to
provide support for Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) and
Transactional NTFS (TxF). IPv6 is designated as the successor of IPv4,
the current version of the Internet Protocol, which is used for
communication on computer networks. TxF is a new feature of the NTFS
file system which allows Windows application developers to write file
output routines that are guaranteed to either completely succeed or
completely fail, ensuring the integrity of data.

Support
for the new TxF, for example, will allow customers to use Double-Take
to protect applications which leverage this new capability to ensure
data integrity and improve application stability. This release of
Double-Take for Windows will also support IPv6, ensuring that
organizations adopting this new networking standard will be able to
easily protect their business-critical data and applications.
Furthermore, Double-Take can protect current versions of Microsoft
virtual servers and the company looks forward to supporting the
Microsoft Hyper-V launch later this year.

"Microsoft has
made impressive strides with Windows Server 2008 and we are committed
to providing the replication and recovery tools necessary to make sure
that companies moving to the new platform will be fully protected,"
said Doug White, product manager at Double-Take Software. "I am
particularly excited about our support for IPv6 and TxF. It’s no secret
that IPv6 is the future of IP and you can’t truly protect Windows
Server 2008 in real-time without fully supporting TxF. If you have an
application that’s using transactions under the covers and a
replication product that doesn’t support TxF, then the replication is
virtually worthless. Our support for TxF is fully integrated into our
industry leading real-time replication engine."

As existing
customers migrate their environments to Windows Server 2008, they can
rely on a single product for disaster recovery of critical workloads
because Double-Take for Windows supports previous versions of Windows
Server in addition to the latest release. Leveraging features like data
replication and full-server protection and recovery also allow
customers to employ Double-Take as part of their upgrade and migration
strategies for Windows Server 2008. They can use real production data,
replicated to new systems, to test application and data compatibility
on the new platform or use the Double-Take Server Recovery Option to
restore a production server to a new piece of hardware and test
in-place upgrades.
