By efficiently replicating the byte-level changes within the data at the branch offices using Double-Take, one can bring the branch's data back to a centralized data center. The result is higher labour costs and lower restore reliability. Many times this requires non-IT personnel to be responsible for tape rotations and cleanings. ![]() Branch office server to Centralized Data CentreĮnterprise branch offices tend to be isolated because of WAN performance, hardware and management costs. The result is rapid availability of the data - and the small office continues doing business. Double-Take provides a simple and cost-effective way to "fail over" to a second machine, either in the same office or perhaps even at an employee's home. When the primary server fails, the office productivity can halt. Large enterprises may have multiple data centers and a myriad of server technologies, but the typical small office relies heavily on few servers, often with limited IT resources or personnel. The Double-Take Solutionĭouble-Take provides powerful solutions for a number of data protection, data availability, data migration, and data distribution challenges. ![]() ![]() There really is no limit to what you can replicate using Double-Take.Īs long as the data is flowing between Microsoft Servers you could replicate 1 server locally, 20 servers located in branches around New Zealand or 100 servers replicating between here and the rest of the world. Goldstar Software Inc.Double-Take can handle multiple data protection, availability, migration, and distribution needs. Still confused?

Use this as a quick chart, and then pull the documentation for the version in question to double-check that your specific environment will be supported. Linux OS DistroĪgain, this matrix should NOT be considered the final word on OS support, as there are other caveats for some of these supported operating systems, too. Again, this chart is ONLY a guideline, and you will want to refer to the official Carbonite documentation for additional specifics. Windows Operating System Versionįor the Linux environment, things are far more complicated, as there are not only specific OS distributions and versions, but there are also multiple kernel types, bit levels, and file systems. As operating system support drops off of newer versions, we will change these to the latest version that supported that operating system. For all operating systems supported by the newest version of Carbonite (currently v8.5.0), the notation of "Current" is used here. If you are supporting an older operating system, though, then you may wish to look for the most common version among the ones supported. Whenever possible, you should use the NEWEST POSSIBLE version, for the best results. Reading the Matrix: For each operating system version, you should verify that the version of Availability or Migrate that you have will work. ![]() If you are in doubt in any way for any given combination, I recommend that you contact Carbonite directly for clarification. This information has been culled from the Supported Operating Systems section of the Carbonite documentation, which should always be considered the official list. With the wide variety of options available, we have created this matrix that provides the version of the Carbonite product that you would need to support each of these operating system platforms. The Carbonite Availability and Migrate (Formerly Double-Take Move) solutions are available in various versions, with each version supporting specific operating systems.
