SOUTHBOROUGH, Mass. – March 19, 2009 – Double-Take® Software (NASDAQ:  DBTK), a leading provider of workload optimization software, today announced the availability of the latest version of its flagship Double-Take® for Windows product and enhancements to other products in the company’s suite including complete platform support for Microsoft Windows Server 2008 and Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2008.  Double-Take for Windows solves IT managers’ workload portability and availability challenges by making it easy to migrate physical workloads into virtual machines with minimal user downtime and to protect the uptime of critical workloads on physical and virtual machines by using real-time replication and failover.

“We look forward to utilizing the workload portability features in this new version of Double-Take for P2V migrations. After we migrate the workloads, we will continue to protect them with Double-Take for Hyper-V,” said Matthew Woodings, CTO of HotSchedules, the premier provider of web-based restaurant labor management solutions. “We currently use Double-Take for Hyper-V on many of our virtual servers, because it is cost effective and provides us with the greatest flexibility to use our existing infrastructure, rather than requiring specific hardware solutions as some other virtualization vendors do.”

Anything the vendors and solutions providers can do to aid in the adoption of the different virtual platforms has to be a good thing for end user choice and evolution of virtualization as a platform for business. I’ll need to check out Double-Take’s solution.
