While working the Double-Take booth at TechEd this week I had a customer ask me about Business Continuity for her virtual machines. It seems that her IT staff was split between using Microsoft’s Hyper-V and VMware ESXi, so finding a solid, affordable DR tool was proving to be difficult.
“One Tool” Application Availability and Recovery Capabilities
Over the next ten minutes or so I explained to her that Double-Take for Virtual Systems provides real-time, byte level replication for Windows and Linux VM’s regardless of the Hyper-Visor that is being used. In fact, it is one of the only tools on the market that allows you to protect Hyper-V VM’s to VMware VM’s, and visa versa.
We also discussed one of the greatest advantages of using Double-Take in your BC plans is that it is not platform centric. Double-Take is a true X to X technology that spans all applications, hardware, and virtualization. Having the flexibility to protect a physical server to a VM is great, but having the flexibility to protect any server to any server is very powerful. And with Double-Take’s unified management console you can have a since place from which to configure, protect, and monitor you environment.
As we finished our conversation, she thanked me for the information and gave me her card and I promised to have her local engineer get in touch with her.
Double-Take is a fantastic tool for providing Business Continuity for any application or server, physical or virtual.
