Double-Take GeoCluster
GeoCluster takes all the features of Microsoft Cluster Service (MSCS) and extends them to create a stretch cluster.
It eliminates the possibility of single point of failure.
Although you can attain a fairy high level of availability by using the features of MSCS and clustering, the problem is that they maintain one single copy of the data - and therefore can only provide failover in one site.
The key benefit of GeoCluster is added protection and total peace of mind, through continual access to data and applications across multiple sites.
GeoCluster benefits:
- Multi-site disaster recovery, through real-time, offsite data protection and failover.
- Enhanced data protection by eliminating the single point of failure of shared disk storage.
- Exact byte-by-byte replication gives you maximum application performance with minimum bandwidth.
- Greater flexibility by supporting clusters using existing servers and storage.
- Lower costs - because channel extenders or storage routers are not required.
