Double-Take Availability

Livewire™ from Double-Take® Software has a unique value proposition for companies seeking to replicate their secondary servers.  These are the servers that are important, but do not need the near instantaneous failover required for your mission critical servers.

These ‘next’ in importance servers can usually be recovered in a couple of hours, using a technology and process that reduces costs by simplifying the protection and recovery of important systems. Livewire continuously replicates changes to data, applications and the source server’s operating system, protecting the entire server. When it’s time to recover, Livewire allows you to configure and perform recoveries on-demand, to physically dissimilar hardware or virtual servers, with added validation steps to make sure recovery will go as planned.

Livewire allows you to protect important workloads with real-time data replication and provides the ability to recover them on demand, including the operating system (OS), applications and data - even to servers with different hardware configurations and virtual servers. Livewire is hardware and application independent and a well-organized user interface makes Livewire easy for even non-technical staff to install and maintain.

Livewire is the first of its kind to combine real-time data replication with continuous system state protection and provides on demand recovery from either the real-time image of the system or a snapshot image of the system from a previous point-in-time. This additional flexibility makes the solution ideal for recovering from unwanted changes such as viruses, corruption and accidental deletions.

When to Use

• When you have important ‘secondary’ servers that you need to be able to recover in a couple of hours.

• When the replica server needs to be hosted either onsite or in an offsite location.

• When your budget is constrained and you can accept a slower recovery time.
