    The Benefits of Continuous Data Protection (CDP) for IBM i and AIX Environments

    Download Now

Our integrated continuous data protection technology - RightTime CDP™ - allows administrators to “dial back” quickly and easily return an application or database to any previous point in time and supports the widest range of Recovery Point Objectives.

  • RightTime CDP™ enables recovery from any point in time
  • Go back in time to restore lost or damaged data due to system failure of human error
  • Most flexible recovery points in the market
  • Nearly instantaneous recovery at the push of a button
  • RPO meets regulatory mandates and widest range of SLAs

Not only will you achieve a rapid return on your Double-Take Availability investment by recovering the time and expense normally lost to downtime, you’ll add to your ROI both as you meet compliance regulations and as you perform maintenance, upgrades and even test new applications without interruptions to business operations.

  • Snapshot your data at a specific point of time and use replicated data in a variety of ways
  • Eliminate backup windows by performing your tape backups on replicated data with no production downtime
  • Testing new or modified applications on the secondary system poses no risk to production processes
  • System maintenance can be performed on the production server while system users work on the secondary system
  • Easily test and validate your failover—without downtime—to ensure your DR readiness
  • Use recovery system for queries, reports, training, or offload processing
  • ROI is enhanced through flexible use of replicated data

How it Works

Double-Take Availability for AIX builds on the functionality of Double-Take RecoverNow to provide high availability with robust, off-site data protection and recovery to any point in time.

Double-Take Availability is a high availability clustering solution. In a high availability cluster, redundant resources and configuration of hardware and software provide greater availability of computer services (nodes, applications, system components) to users. Should a failure occur in a production system, availability is restored quickly using the secondary system.

It protects hardware with sophisticated software fault detection, heartbeat monitoring technology and high availability capabilities. Double-Take Availability transparently monitors nodes in the cluster to eliminate disruptions and ensure availability.

The heartbeat monitors the health and status of each nodeand acts as a failure detection mechanism. When Double-Take Availability detects a failure, it moves your applications from the failed node to the operational node so that services remain available to your users. You can configure Double-Take Availability to perform all failover activities automatically. The failover activities include dismounts of storage, IP address switching, remount, and application startup.

Continuous real-time replication coupled with automatic failover capabilities for disaster recovery and high availability on IBM Power Systems servers running AIX give you 24 x 7 x 365 protection for business critical applications.
