Highlights
Software and Information Services, a publication based in China, announced in its February issue that Vision Solutions has won the prestigious 2010 Golden Software Award for its Double-Take Availability product.

About Double-Take Availability

  • Double-Take Availability combines continuous real-time replication and automatic failover capabilities for disaster recovery, high availability, and centralized backup on physical or virtual Windows servers. The software uses patented replication and failover capabilities that continuously capture byte-level changes as they occur while replicating those changes to a local server or over any WAN link.
  • Double Take Availability captures disk-writes at the host's file system layer while all applications (including virtual machines writing to virtual disks) operate above the actual file system layer. This allows the solution to transparently and reliably protect that data by replicating it via its normal mechanisms to a target server running another copy of Double-Take Availability.
  • On the target side, Double-Take Availability simply applies the same file update commands to the duplicate files that reside on the target server -- sending only real-time byte-level changes across any IP connection.
