whitepaper High Availability & Disaster Recovery Readiness Assessment2010-03-01 CA (Computer Associates)
  High Availability (HA) and Disaster Recovery (DR) have bread interpretation within the industry. Some consider them in the literal sense where they mean a plan and supporting technologies that address a partial or complete site loss due to a disaster caused by fire or power outage, or natural causes like flood, hurricane, or earthquake. Others consider HA & DR to include protecting from server or application outages, down to even the simplest loss of data from accidental deletion or change or malicious attack like virus or other malware.

To accommodate the widest range of customer scenarios, this tool was created to encompass the broadest interpretation of high availability and disaster recovery.

whitepaper Double-Take Move Whitepaper: X2X Server and Storage Migration Solutions2010-02-22 Double Take Software
  Migrating applications, systems and data has always been a challenge for IT staff; in fact, most have just gotten used to the pain and suffering that comes with migrations. To properly migrate applications and data to new platforms involves risk and takes time to complete, meanwhile users have to stop changing data while it's migrated. The larger the storage footprint, the longer that it's going to take, and migrations routinely take hours or days to complete.

whitepaper Disaster Recovery Planning with Virtualisation Technologies2010-02-22 Double Take Software
  Business continuity is not just a good business practice - it can mean success or failure if data and applications on a production server are lost. Disaster recovery planning ensures organisations have the capability to continue essential functions across a wide range of situations that could disrupt normal operations. High availability is the cornerstone for most business continuity plans and is one of the most compelling reasons for evaluating and deploying data protection solutions. However, traditional data protection strategies focus on just the data and not the application....

whitepaper Network Booting Cuts Administration Costs and Improves Security - Workstations all in Sync2010-02-22 Double Take Software
  The greater the number of users being administered in a network, the more important it becomes to standardise. Replacing the operating system in the PC's with centralised management of operating systems enables enhanced operating security along with lower support costs.

whitepaper NEXT GENERATION BACKUP - ROBOtechnology2010-02-22 Double Take Software
  In a survey conducted in 2005 by the Ad Council, most businesses agreed that emergency preparedness is important, yet only 39% said their company had a plan in place. In companies with distributed branch offices, data protection strategies may not have kept up with the reality that branch or remote offices now contain customer databases, email servers and financial information that are critical to the company's day-to-day operation. The traditional approach - relying on tape backup for branch-office data protection - is costly and risky. This white paper examines some of the strategies and technologies available for backing up remote or branch offices....

whitepaper Ensuring the Availability of Blackberry Enterprise Server2010-02-22 Double Take Software
  Your entire team's productivity has been increased with BlackBerry handhelds - but what if the server and software that powers these devices goes down? Wireless email is arguably the greatest enhancement to employee productivity and flexibility since the cell phone. It enables employees to keep up with email when travelling by allowing them to remain connected to co-workers and customers as if they were sitting in their offices. There are approximately 350 million wireless email users worldwide and analyst groups predict that number to explode worldwide in the next five years....

whitepaper Real-Time Protection for Hyper-V2010-02-22 Double Take Software
  Computer virtualisation has come a long way in a very short time, triggered primarily by the rapid rate of customer adoption. Moving resources to virtual platforms have allowed IT departments to consolidate and better utilise computer resources. However, many methods for system protection that were tried and true in the physical world haven't lived up to their expectations when tasked with protecting virtual machines. Many maintain the false belief that protecting virtual machines is as simple as backing up the virtual disk files. This is true - and special care must be taken when performing backup of virtual machines....

whitepaper Reducing the Costs and Risks of Branch Office Data Protection2010-02-22 Double Take Software
  Is Your Branch Office Data Really Protected? Regardless of form or fury, disasters can take their toll on any business. In fact, the Department of Homeland Security puts businesses in two categories: those who have already experienced the pain of losing valuable electronic data, and those who will at some point in the future. Well-prepared businesses know that deploying the right resources, processes and technology to protect key information and minimise downtime at their headquarters is important; but having adequate resources and technology in place to protect invaluable data in branch offices is just as important, though often overlooked....

whitepaper Six Data Protection Tips for SMBs2010-02-22 Double Take Software
  Just like major corporations, small and midsize businesses (SMBs) are increasingly reliant on the critical data stored on their servers. Limited resources and vulnerability to interruptions put small and midsize businesses at higher risk, and relying on native backup for a small business server can leave gaps in the disaster recovery plan. While native backup for Windows Small Business Server provides a small measure of protection, periodic tape backup can leave small businesses vulnerable to data and time loss in quantities they cannot afford. The key to getting back on track quickly is a comprehensive disaster recovery plan, including fast access to an up-to-the-minute copy of your data. This whitepaper provides six tips for an SMB approach to protecting critical data. These tips used in conjunction with Double-Take® Availability from Double-Take® Software can help SMBs defend against crippling downtime and data loss...

whitepaper A Practical Guide to DR Planning: The basics of getting started2010-02-22 Double Take Software
  Business Continuity When you think about your disaster recovery plan, does your tape backup system come to mind? Does the mere mention of disaster recovery make you a bit nervous? If so, you're not alone. Many businesses risk grave losses due to failures and disasters yet continue to depend on their tape backups to help them recover successfully should a major outage occur. The thought of implementing a more appropriate disaster recovery plan can be daunting; to the point which many simply push it off until later. Unfortunately 'later' often ends up being after the business has suffered a major loss from which it could not recover....
