Double-Take® and TZO-HA Combine to Ensure Turnkey Remote Failover Solution for Small and Mid-sized Businesses
Leader in continuous data protection and application availability working with
dynamic DNS pioneer to safeguard critical revenue-generating applications
Southborough, Mass. – January 3, 2005 -NSI Software, Inc. (NSI®), makers of
Double-Take®, the most relied upon solution for continuous data protection and
application availability, and TZOlkin Corporation today announced a
partnership to deliver a turnkey solution for high availability of critical revenue-producing applications for small and mid-sized businesses. Through this
partnership, TZO® becomes a member of the Double-Take Solutions Program.
With an intuitive interface and a hardware-agnostic configuration, Double-Take
provides businesses with the advanced protection they need, in the easy-to-use
format they require. Now businesses who rely on Double-Take to provide
continuous data protection for application and information availability can
achieve greater resiliency for those applications that rely on public network
access, like e-mail and web servers, with little to no manual intervention. As such, businesses can rest assured that public-facing, revenue-generating Web
applications such as e-commerce sites and partner Intranets will be online and
seamlessly protected in the event of a disaster or outage.
“Together, Double-Take and TZO-HA create a powerful solution with significant
business value,” said Dan Jones, vice-president of North American sales and
marketing with NSI Software. “Information and assets are protected while
business operations remain uninterrupted in the event of a disaster or unplanned
outage. This is a win-win for small and mid-sized businesses.”
“In today’s demanding Web-based environments, it’s critical for businesses to be
certain that their data is safe and they can remain ‘open for business’ for their
online customers. This is a huge challenge for businesses with limited IT budgets
and operations,” said Eric McIntyre, vice-president of business development
with TZO. “By working with Double-Take, we can offer all of our customers a
single solution that provides both of these critical certainties.”
Double-Take and TZO-HA combine for flexible, rock solid continuous data
protection that fits within any business infrastructure:
--Double-Take automatically replicates all data from the SQL, Exchange
servers and Web servers over a WAN connection to a secondary server
located at another geographic location—at any distance—such as another
office location or a co-location facility.
--If a failure occurs, Double-Take will start the remote services at the
remote location and make changes to the Active Directory environment to
tell clients how and where to access the new assets by name and IP
address.
-- While this process is happening within the customer’s private network,
TZO-HA automatically fails over from primary to secondary server by
instantly changing DNS definitions on the public network, with full public
Internet propagation completed in less than 90 seconds. Users seeking
applications on the affected Web-sites or intranet will be automatically
forwarded to the available location to access the data replicated on the
new target servers.
