Double-Take Move

Double-Take Move provides support of migration in a cloud environment, providing to users the convenient tool for transition from physical and virtual servers to a cloud environment and back. Administrators can use this opportunity to avoid an overload of storage systems, to reduce the cost of support of the equipment, receiving at the same time a simple method of change of service providers of cloud computing. Users can set capacity use limits directly from Double-Take Move management console that improves process of setup of works for a product and increases convenience of using.

Double-Take Move simplifies to administrators process of migration of memory and servers, and works on any Windows server regardless of the equipment of the server or architecture of memory. Operating systems, applications and data with ease move from one model and server configuration to another regardless of physical or virtual infrastructure. And since Double-Take Move does not depend on a hardware and virtual platform, it can be used for migration or consolidation in any combination of physical and virtual servers.

Double-Take Move is goods for consolidation of data centers and moving of servers to other location. Using replication of data in real time through WAN to transfer workloads, Double-Take Move does migration on other end of the country the same idle time as migration between the servers which are in one room.

Key advantages:

• Migrations without idle time — Execute migrations of X2X to transfer workloads between any combination of physical and virtual server environments for migration of servers and consolidation of the websites in real time while all your users remain in network.
• Effective, flexible consolidation of data processing centers - consolidation of the centers of processing with more effective a blade technology and flexible virtual infrastructure.
• The simplified migration of storages - Migration of storages can move the storages using fiber optic SAN controllers on Ethernet iSCSI with ease.
• P2P or V2P - Hardware independent migration allowing to migrate servers irrespective of equipment manufacturer (P2P), P2V or V2P.
• P2V or V2V Migration - Increases flexibility of the virtual systems, allowing to migrate virtual machines between different producers of virtual hypervisors and to move systems with VMware on Hyper-V (V2V).

2013: Double-Take Move - от VMware к Windows Azure

On November 20, 2013 the Vision Solutions company announced a release of the updated solution Double-Take Move.

The product facilitates transition of corporate clients and service providers with VMware on Windows Server 2012 Hyper-V or Windows Azure.

Advantages

Double-Take Move is the tool by means of which users get advantages in the course of transition from VMware to Hyper-V and Windows Azure without the need for switching off of corporate servers.

Double-Take Move automates all process "under cover" the Microsoft System Center 2012 platforms. The full integration of control functions of Double-Take Move with System Center allows users to find, configure and transfer the operating Windows virtual machines in real time, providing several advantages:

• Migration with the minimum idle times;

• The automated switching;

• Switching testing;

• Optimization of use of bandwidth of network;

• Automatic selection of virtual machines.

Using Double-Take Move it is possible to transfer servers entirely, including a status of the operating system and file system (for example, access rights to files and folders, object properties, parameters of compression and enciphering) without stopping and interruptions of technical transactions. Functionality for replication of data of Double-Take allows to duplicate completely write processes of the application in real time, providing transfer of applications regardless of whether crucial files are blocked by other processes.
