Double-Take(R) Availability Provides Protection for Park Community's Exchange and SQL Servers through Real-Time Replication

SOUTHBOROUGH, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Double-Take(R) Software (NASDAQ: DBTK) announced today that Park Community Federal Credit Union has selected Double-Take(R) Availability to protect and provide high availability for its Exchange and SQL Servers, as well as all other servers in their environment. Following extensive research, Park Community selected Double-Take Availability because it was the only solution that could meet the credit union's disaster recovery needs: ensuring the availability of applications like SQL Server and Exchange Server and effective protection of large quantities of data.

Double-Take Availability provides cost-effective full-server protection and offers rapid recovery from any system outage. The software continuously captures changes as they happen and replicates those changes in real-time to another server, physical or virtual, at any location, locally or globally. With Double-Take Availability, companies like Park Community can quickly and efficiently implement a disaster recovery plan, which allows them to keep their businesses afloat if disaster or downtime strikes.

"Implementing a disaster recovery plan is critical for any business. Park Community, like many companies, needed a solution that provides continuous, real-time replication to their offsite DR facility for maximum protection against data loss and application downtime," said Bob Roudebush, director of solutions engineering at Double-Take Software. "Double-Take Availability provided this level of protection in a cost effective way, using software-based protection that is easy to deploy and manage and leverages existing IT investments."

Without the proper data protection solution in place, one that protects data continuously and also provides failover capabilities for the applications that create that data, system outages or site-wide disasters can result in hours or days of downtime and lost productivity. In fact, the Diffusion Group, a consumer technology research and strategic marketing firm, reported that 60 percent of companies that lose their data go out of business within 6 months of the disaster, and 72 percent of businesses that suffer major data loss go under within 24 months.

With a small IT staff and tight budget, Park Community required a solution that was efficient enough to protect a massive amount of data using the organization's existing WAN infrastructure. Double-Take Availability allowed Park Community to replicate data on 30-plus virtual servers, including all data on one server that maintained one terabyte of business-critical data and over 20 million files. Park Community tried various other solutions, none of which were able to replicate in real-time without failing. In frequent DR testing, Double-Take Availability allows Park Community to recover seamlessly within their strict recovery time objective (RTO) and recovery point objective (RPO) requirements.

"We originally intended to protect only five or six highly critical servers," said Eric Hubbard, network engineer at Park Community Federal Credit Union. "However, because Double-Take Availability is affordable and didn't require additional bandwidth, we were able to implement this disaster recovery solution across our entire server environment all within budget."
