Virtual Recovery Assistant is a new enhancement to
Double-Take for Windows that simplifies the process of migrating to VMware ESX
virtual machines by automating the provisioning of the virtual environment and
reducing end-user downtime associated with traditional physical-to-virtual
(P2V) migration products. This feature
can also be used to automate the protection of workloads running on physical
servers, moving them to virtual machines automatically in the event of a server
outage or site-wide disaster. The
Virtual Recovery Assistant replicates changes to data in real-time, so end
users can continue to access production applications right up until the moment
at which the workload is migrated.
SYS-CON’s
Virtualization Journal’s “Readers’ Choice Awards”
SYS-CON's Virtualization Journal announced today its first
annual Virtualization
Readers' Choice Awards. SYS-CON's Readers' Choice Awards, also
known as the "Oscars
of the Software Industry" has been one of the most
prestigious industry award programs for more than a decade. This year's
virtualization awards will be given in 17 categories and award-winning products
and services will be selected by Virtualization Journal
readers.
Virtualization takes the cost and complexity out of IT, and can even help us
reduce the CO2 footprint. IDC has stated that the virtualization services
market alone is going to reach $11.7 billion by 2011 and in general this
technology, which has been around for a good number of years, seems suddenly to
be on everyone's mind.
In short, Virtualization is fast becoming a key requirement for every server in
the data center, enabling increased workloads in server consolidation projects,
efficient software development and testing, resource management for dynamic
data centers, application re-hosting and compatibility, and high-availability
partitions.
The tipping point, though - as anticipated by
industry experts already back in 2005 - seems to be coming in 2008.
