and new industry standards for replication and availability in all environments

Kuala Lumpur – July 23, 2012 – Vision Solutions, Inc., a leading provider of information availability software and services, has launched Double-Take 6.0 in Malaysia. Double-Take 6.0 is a “Simply Evolved” solution for exceptional application and data protection in virtual, Cloud and physical computing environments.

Double-Take 6.0 helps companies protect profitability and reputation by providing affordable real-time asynchronous data replication, enabling immediate recovery from any system outage. Six critical attributes make Double-Take 6.0 a best-in-class solution setting new industry standards for value and performance:
• Ease of Use – The initial set up and ongoing management is automated allowing IT service teams to set it and forget it.
• Plug & Play Protection – A pre-configured universal virtual recovery appliance provides options for extending virtualized environments.
• Real-Time Replication – Complete, comprehensive replication in real-time instead of snapshots ensures uninterrupted availability and virtually eliminates data loss.
• No Downtime Migrations – Replication technology allows users to remain active while production environments are recreated on new systems.
• Platform Independence – This solution is hardware and storage independent and even works with different hardware and storage on both ends. And, it also can protect any application.
• Simplified Management – A unified console provides a single window into the availability environment.

Double-Take 6.0 offers the following new features:
• Point-in-time recovery for P2V environments – Operating alongside real-time data replication, point-in-time recovery allows customers to set up and manage scheduled VSS snapshots for protected environments across Microsoft Hyper-V and VMware platforms.

• Application protection workflows – Built-in, application-specific workflows operated from the new unified Double-Take Management Console protect key applications, such as Microsoft Exchange and SQL Server, and virtualization platforms, such as VMware and Hyper-V.
• Support for PowerShell¬ – Enables users to manage and automate tasks using PowerShell, Microsoft’s task-based automation scripting language.
