Software developer Vision Solutions Inc. has released the latest version of its Double-Take application and data protection solution for virtual, cloud, and physical computing environments.
Double-Take 6.0 is designed to enables SMBs to “protect profitability and reputation by providing affordable real-time asynchronous data replication, enabling immediate recovery from any system outage,” states a Vision Solutions press release submitted to Channel Pro-SMB.
“The pace and competitive landscape of today’s global commerce dictates the need for flexible resilient and available IT infrastructure that provides around-the-clock access to applications and information,” says Vision Solutions’ CTO Alan Arnold. “Interruptions in data or downtime for systems and applications are threats to business operations that can impact revenue, customer relationships and an organization’s reputation. With Double-Take’s real-time replication and failover technology, we ultimately help companies save data, revenue and even jobs. “
Double-Take 6.0 features include:
- Automated Setup & Management — Ease-of-use design enables simple deployment.
- Plug & Play Protection — A pre-configured universal virtual recovery appliance for extending virtualized environments.
- Real-Time Replication — Complete replication in real-time rather than via snapshots for uninterrupted availability.
- Platform Independence — Hardware and storage independent solution.
- Simplified Management — A unified console with a single window into the availability environment.
Double-Take 6.0 offers the following new features:
- Point-in-Time Recovery for P2V Environments — Operating alongside real-time data replication, point-in-time recovery enables SMBs to set up and manage scheduled VSS snapshots for protected environments across Microsoft Hyper-V and VMware platforms.
- Universal Virtual Recovery Appliance — Preconfigured virtual software appliance that automates the installation and configuration of availability environments. Auto-provisioning of the virtual environment needed to support the Universal Virtual Recovery Appliance saves time and reduces errors.
- Protection for Hyper-V Virtual Machines with CSV — Support for Hyper-V machines using Clustered Shared Volumes, including one-click failover and reverse enabling SMBs to move VMs between hosts as required.
- Application Protection Workflows — Built-in, application-specific workflows operated from the new unified Double-Take Management Console protect key applications (such as Microsoft Exchange and SQL Server) and virtualization platforms (such as VMware and Hyper-V).
- Support for PowerShell≠ — Enables users to manage and automate tasks using PowerShell, Microsoft’s task-based automation scripting language.
