Double Take- Disaster Recovery solution in Cloud computing

Double-Take Cloud combines backup and recovery with pay-as-you-go infrastructure to provide a simple, easy to acquire, easy to use, and easy to own solution that gives you the protection you need. You don't have to settle for a shoebox full of questionable backup tapes, or an incomplete on-line backup solution, and you definitely don't have to create a big IT project to get complete full server protection and rapid recovery for all your servers.



Double-Take Cloud provides real-time server replication that captures all changes to your data and applications and securely stores them in the Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) infrastructure. Businesses of any size can create a highly efficient and effective disaster recovery plan by leveraging the cloud computing Recovery as a Service (RaaS) model, eliminating the need for costly dedicated DR data centers and the associated hardware, software, real estate, power, cooling and management overhead. When needed, you can recover to the cloud servers, paying only for the space and capacity used, and only for the time you use them.



Key Benefits

* Real-time replication protects all of the data, and full-server protection includes everything you need, including the data, programs, and the system configuration. You don’t need to know what’s important, and you don’t have to worry about what you forgot to include. When you need to recover, everything is included, even the files you just saved this morning.
* Cross-platform protection means that you don’t have to replace a failed server with the same type of hardware. You can replace your old, broken system with shiny, new, state-of-the-art equipment from any vendor you want, and Double-Take Cloud will make the old configuration fit perfectly, no questions asked.
* Cloud recovery means that you always have replacement equipment standing by, but you only pay for it when you need it, and only for as long as you need it. You can be back up and running quickly, without having to select, order, pay for and wait for new equipment to be delivered.
* Setup is fast and easy. If you are reading about this at breakfast, you can be protected by lunch time. And help is just a phone call away. Double-Take has protected tens of thousands of servers, just like yours – join the club!
* Easily test the recovery of your server, before you need it, without disturbing your production systems.
* Preserve multiple point-in-time versions of your server, using the built-in snapshot feature. Recover your server with up to the minute data, or recover an earlier version. Your entire server will be recovered with the same configuration as it had on that day, including data, applications, and operating system configurations.
