"Customers have come to rely on Stratus' industry leading products and services to protect their most mission critical data, applications and business operations.

"Stratus' new application and disaster recovery solutions powered by Double-Take Software are a potent combination of several benefits, including continuous replication, automatic application failover, data recovery and migration, compliance archiving, snapshot management, and centralized backup services for virtual environments."

Double-Take, from Double-Take Software, combines real-time replication and failover technologies to ensure users remain online in case of a failure.
