Application workloads

Application workload protection provides high availability for Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft SQL, and a Windows file server. You identify your source, which is the server running the application, and your target, which is the server that will stand-in for the source in the event the source fails. Double-Take Availability will gather information from your environment (application configuration, Active Directory, DNS, and so on) about the application being protected and automatically protect the application. Double-Take Availability monitors the source server or the application services for a failure. When it fails, Double-Take Availability allows the target to stand-in for the source. Your end-users can continue to access the application running on the target, which is standing in for the source.

1. The application data and configuration is mirrored and replicated to the target.
2. The target can monitor the application for failure.
3. The target can monitor the source for failure.
