Workload Availability Challenges

Server Downtime
Hardware failures can lead to hours or days of downtime for business critical applications during recovery

Lost Data
Failures can result in hours or days of lost data that may never be recovered and results in lost revenue

Site Disaster
Most availability solutions do not protect against site-wide failure and rebuilding a site may take weeks

www.doubletake.com

Workload Availability - Optimized

Minimal Downtime
Workload failover allows availability within minutes, not hours

Minimal Data Loss

Real-time replication provides near-zero data loss

Local or Remote Availability

Workloads may be failed over in the same site or across sites

Across Hardware and Virtualization

Failover workloads between dissimilar hardware Failover workloads between physical and virtual platforms

Enterprise Reporting and Alerting

Email alerting via SMTP Management Pack for MS system center

Traditional Backup Challenges

Shrinking Backup Windows
Backup windows tend to shrink while backups tend to grow larger and larger as data sets grow

Labor Intensive
Tape Backups are labor intensive requiring trained staff at both central and remote offices to perform daily backup tasks

Costly and Inefficient

Tape drives or libraries are costly to purchase maintain Tape media is expensive and not used efficiently when backups use only a portion of the available tape

31

www.doubletake.com www.doubletake.com

Traditional Backup Challenges

Data Deduplication Disk-to-Disk backups have large storage requirements and require data deduplication with varying effectiveness Poor RPO Both tape and disk-to-disk backups are scheduled backup jobs and leave large gaps in data protection

Limited Recovery Points Both Tape and disk-to-disk backups occur periodically and only provide periodic points from which data can be recovered

Server Migration Chalanges

Downtime
Moving workloads between sites or between pieces of hardware can cause long outages Workload migrations can be labor intensive and prone to failure causing even more downtime

Expensive
Site migrations can be both slow and expensive, spanning many months of intense effort

Complex
Hardware incompatibilities slow down migrations and require expensive tools P2V conversions require specialized tools and typically require hours of downtime Very few tools exist to assist with converting a workload back from virtual to physical

48

www.doubletake.com

 Real-Time Replication
Double-Take provides real-time replication of workloads for efficient migration with only minutes of downtime

Optimized for WAN

Double-Take migrates workloads over IP networks, LAN or WAN, with optimizations like compression and bandwidth limiting Double-Take makes site migration easy with options for migration across subnets and support for dissimilar hardware and storage

Across Hardware and Virtualization

Double-Take migrates workloads between dissimilar hardware and between physical and virtual systems in either direction
