New versions of Double-Take Availability, Double-Take RecoverNow and Double-Take Move offer improved protection and management features for disaster recovery and high availability of virtual, physical and cloud-hosted systems
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates - Thursday, May 26th 2011 [ME NewsWire]
(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Vision Solutions, Inc., a leading provider of information availability software and services with over 25,000 customers running Windows, Linux, IBM Power Systems and Cloud Computing environments, today announced the release of the latest versions of its Double-Take Move, RecoverNow and Availability products. The updates in version 5.3 expand support for virtualised IT environments as well as providing faster and easier installation of disaster recovery solutions for virtual machines.
Highlights:
Simplified management and protection for virtual environments - Double-TakeAvailability 5.3 provides the ability to configure the protection of VMs in aggregate without the need to pre-install software on each virtual machine (VM). Rather than having to install a Double-Take software agent on each VM prior to configuration, version 5.3 allows the administrator to configure protection of VMs at the host level instead. All the required functionality and agent software is automatically injected into the VM in the background as protection for the VM is configured and started.
Improved protection for virtual clusters -For remote availability of workloads based on Microsoft Hyper-V, Double-Take Availability now supports protection of clustered Hyper-V hosts over wide area networks. The integration of Hyper-V clustering and Double-Take real-time replication of data provides unified local availability and remote availability for Hyper-V hosts. As part of this, administrators also have the choice to set the IP address to use on the target side, providing greater flexibility around fail-over.
Expanded Microsoft Exchange support - Double-Take Availability 5.3now supports protection of Exchange 2010 in Database Availability Group (DAG) environments - this is particularly valuable for organisations that want to implement disaster recovery for DAG installations across low-bandwidth environments. Double-Take RecoverNow 5.3 also enhances its protection of Exchange 2010 by now offering Exchange log file trimming capabilities. This ability to schedule trimming of log files on the production server is coordinated with application consistent recovery points on the repository server for the flexibility to recover from the most recent data or an earlier application-consistent snapshot.
Updated OS support -Double-Take 5.3 now supports Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 across the Availability, RecoverNow and Move products.
Simplified, effective Failback operations - Minimising downtime with an effective availability plan is only half the battle. Getting back to “how things were”, or failing back, can be just as stressful, as the process can incur its own downtime. Double-Take Availability 5.3 adds additional capabilities to both full-server failover and VM failover to reduce the potential for downtime during a failback. New within Double-Take 5.3 is support for multi-job failback tasks and enterprise-wide monitoring capabilities.
Vision Solutions will be present at the world´s premier financial technology event for emerging markets, MEFTEC, on May 30 and 31 at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre (ADNEC)on booth T1.
