Minimize Downtime when Upgrading or Migrating Servers

Overview

  • Perform most upgrade and migration work during the normal workweek
  • Achieve huge savings by reducing downtime from days to minutes
  • Reduce costs by consolidating servers using many-to-one replication/synchronization

Double-Take Move (formerly Migrate While Active™) eliminates the pain normally associated with upgrades and migrations to IBM® Power™ Systems servers running AIX operating environments, by allowing your company to continue its operations normally – with virtually no downtime – while you perform this essential work. Compare that to the hours or even days of downtime that you’ve probably accepted in the past.

Double-Take Move uses Vision’s advanced high availability technologies to rapidly copy business-critical data to your new Power Systems server and keep it synchronized with your production system in real-time. To ensure that you’ll have a ready-to-run server, Double-Take Move mirrors all of the data and objects needed for a successful upgrade or migration.

Because you don’t have to worry about downtime, you can take as long as you need — during normal business hours — to thoroughly test the new system. After validating your new Power Systems server environment, move users and processes to it in just minutes.
