High Availability and Failover Solutions from Double Take® Software for Complete Application Protection

In today's business climate, the high availability of applications including email is crucial. The advent of technology such as RIM BlackBerry® devices and other mobile messaging solutions means that not only can employees access email wherever they go, the expectations of email are that it is constantly available. How can you protect yourself against downtime and ensure complete data protection with 24/7 high availability?

Traditional solutions, such as tape backup and hardware mirroring, are not without flaws. Tape backup poses a potential risk in that data backups must be performed when the system is idle - meaning that as much as a day's worth of data could be lost. Tape recovery time can also be below many business's recovery time objectives. Hardware mirroring ensures that not a single second's worth of data will be lost, but the price of all the hardware replication can be more than many IT budgets can afford.

A more cost-effective answer is asynchronous host-based replication for high availability. Support for non-proprietary hardware and storage systems means you can leverage your existing resources. You'll also get real-time data protection without distance limitations ensuring high availability for all your business-critical applications - including email.
