Why Protect SQL Server with Double-Take?

While SQL Server 2005 offers options for improving database protection and recovery, none of them is intended to provide a complete disaster recovery solution.

In today's environment, corporate and regulatory mandates as well as service level agreements drive many of these requirements beyond what native SQL Server data protection and recovery options can provide. Double-Take offers a better, more reliable solution for SQL recovery.

Double-Take from Double-Take Software provides superior SQL recovery via real-time data replication, patented database crash consistency, unlimited distance replication, monitoring and automated failover capabilities for SQL 7.0, 2000 and 2005.

Most Microsoft SQL recovery and protection strategies involve a nightly full backup of the data, typically to tape. However, this method of SQL recovery only protects yesterday's work. Any data that has been entered into the database since the nightly backup is not protected and would have to be manually recreated if the production system failed. Since critical data is created and manipulated every second of every work day, you have to ask yourself: Can you afford to lose up to an entire day's worth of data?

A SQL Server recovery and protection strategy supported by Double-Take Software provides up-to-the-minute data replication capabilities for all SQL data. Double-Take Software provides organization's with a solution for SQL recovery and protection that offers distinct advantages over manual Microsoft SQL built-in replication capabilities: Double-Take Software saves more data real-time and restores that data in a much faster manner.

With features from Double Take Software such as built-in bandwidth control, data can be replicated and restored over long distances without service degradation, by putting the SQL recovery and restore responsibilities for remote locations in the hands of the experts back at the datacenter.
