Why is protecting Hyper-V Important?
• Customers are adopting Hyper-V virtualization technology in production for server consolidation, etc.
• These customers fear that virtualization and consolidation will put “All The Eggs In One Basket”
• Double-Take for Hyper-V provides real-time replication and failover for virtual machine environments– Disaster Recovery for virtual machines
• Real-time replication of virtual machine data– High Availability for virtual machines
• Real-time replication of virtual machine data

Solution Protection Overview
• Asynchronous Replication‒ Provides recovery point of minutes, seconds or zero‒ No distance limitations on replication, if you can ping it you can
replicate to it‒ The ability to choose the individual files & folders to protect‒ Very low overhead on production servers 0-4%
• System state protection‒ Protect the entire server, including OS, applications, security
and registry setting and the data with real-time replication as opposed to scheduled solutions that deliver poor RPO

Double-Take for Hyper-V
• DR/ RA of Hyper-V VMs – may or may not be using Failover Clustering for Local HA
• Local HA and is unwilling/unable to deploy Failover Clustering / Quick Migration– Cost of SAN, HCL Hardware, etc

• Asynchronous Replication• Provides recovery point of minutes, seconds or zero• No distance limitations on replication, if you can ping it you can replicate to it• The ability to choose the individual files & folders to protect• Very low overhead on production servers 0-4%
• Data integrity• Guarantee's application crash consistency with write order preservation and transactional
replication• Bandwidth Friendly Data Movement
• Byte Level replication as opposed to block/file level cuts network traffic significantly• Features such as compression, bandwidth throttling and scheduled bandwidth usage enhances
performance on slower networks or across the WAN• Point-in-Time Recovery
• Integration with snapshot technology or continuous data protection solutions to provide point-in-time, this will help protect against you against data corruption
• System state protection• Protect the entire server, including OS, applications, security and registry setting and the data with
real-time replication as opposed to scheduled solutions that deliver poor RPO
What are the Benefits of using the Double-Take Software Replication Engine?
Leaders Have Vision™ visionsolutions.com 13
• Double-Take Availability Application Failover – (RTO < 5mins)Enables very fast failover reducing cost of downtime & also minimizing network traffic with just data replication
• Double-Take Availability Full Server Failover – (RTO < 30mins)Removes the need to license or install any apps a second time
• Double-Take Availability Virtual Recovery Assistance – (RTO < 30mins)Enables many:1 protection significantly cutting costs
• Double-Take Availability for Microsoft Hyper-V to Hyper-V Protection – (RTO < 5mins)Enables Hypervisor to Hypervisor protection delivering unlimited virtual machine protection without additional cost or complexity whilst enhancing performance
• Double-Take Availability Geocluster for Microsoft Clusters – (RTO < 5mins)Enables the protection & splitting up of cluster nodes from shared storage for protection over any distance (up to 500ms) removing single points of failure.
• Double-Take RecoverNow– (4 click manual recovery1-2hours)Enables the protection of multiple complete servers over any distance into a repository server that gives you the ability to recover a complete server or a single file from any-point-in-time to dissimilar hardware.
