Recovering data is only half the disaster recovery battle. Without the applications and systems that provide access to the data, true recovery is hard to achieve. To address this need, Double-Take Software has developed a new technology that enables the real-time protection of entire systems, not just the data. This technology is being made available in two new product offerings – the Double-Take Server Recovery Option and Double-Take ShadowCaster.
Double-Take Server Recovery Option
The Double-Take Server Recovery Option in combination with Double-Take continuous data replication provides customers with the ability to restore entire servers, including the operating system, applications and data – even to servers with different hardware configurations. This product combines continuous data replication with continuous system state protection and allows recovery from either the real-time image of the system or a snapshot image of the system from a previous point-in-time. This additional flexibility makes the solution ideal for recovering from unwanted changes such as viruses, corruption and accidental deletions.
Double-Take ShadowCaster for SBS
The system state protection technology being delivered by Double-Take Software can also be leveraged for whole server failover in addition to system recovery. Designed as a local high availability solution for small-to-medium businesses, Double-Take ShadowCaster for Small Business Server provides whole server replication and failover between a Windows Small Business Server and a standby system.
Double-Take ShadowCaster for SBS uses Double-Take replication technology to continuously send changes from the production system to a secondary server. If the production server fails or is unavailable, Double-Take ShadowCaster can quickly failover the entire production server to the second system with minimal downtime – even if that second system is not physically identical to the production server. And like the Double-Take Server Recovery Option, Double-Take ShadowCaster for SBS protects the entire server including the operating system, applications and data.
