Eliminate Virtual Migration downtime using Double-Take Virtual Recovery Assistant

If you are like many customers that I have worked with over the years there has always been a need to migrate their Exchange servers to new and better hardware but scheduling the downtime for the migration was always problematic. Now with virtualization technologies, performing the P2V process without downtime has become even more of a requirement. Below Double-Take has announced this capability and a webinar June 24th, on how to accomplish these migrations while eliminating downtime.

Southborough, Mass. -Double-Take^® Software (NASDAQ: DBTK) will showcase its latest innovation, Double-Take^® Virtual Recovery Assistant, in an upcoming webinar on June 24, 2008. Double-Take Virtual Recovery Assistant is a new enhancement to Double-Take that simplifies the process of migrating to VMware^® ESX virtual machines while online, with virtually no downtime.

Webinar participants will learn how to leverage Double-Take Virtual Recovery Assistant for real-time physical-to-virtual (P2V) conversions, reduce end-user downtime associated with traditional P2V migration products, and automate the protection of workloads running on physical servers by moving them to virtual machines automatically in the event of a server outage or site-wide disaster.

The Double-Take Virtual Recovery Assistant webinar will discuss:

• The features of Double-Take Virtual Recovery Assistant and its use for P2V or virtual-to-virtual (V2V) Protection
• The effortless migration from physical systems or other virtualization platforms to virtual machines running on VMware Infrastructure
• Lower total cost of ownership by reducing the number of software licenses required at the disaster recovery site when used for protection of physical systems
• Ways to reduce hardware expenses and improve manageability by virtualizing existing physical production and disaster recovery servers on VMware Infrastructure
