Fast, easy migration to Windows Azure

Vision Solutions, Inc. has confirmed that its Double-Take® MOVE™ solution has all the capabilities enterprises require to migrate their Windows Server workloads into Microsoft's Windows Azure Infrastructure Services cloud platform, which was announced on 16th April. Double-Take MOVE enables enterprises to perform easy, no-risk, near-zero downtime migrations from any combination of physical, virtual or cloud platforms into the new Windows Azure Infrastructure Services.

"Windows Azure really represents the next generation of cloud computing," said Alan Arnold, Executive Vice President and Chief Technology Officer for Vision Solutions. "As a long time Microsoft partner, we are excited to be ready to provide support for near-zero downtime migrations to customers moving to Windows Azure."

Double-Take MOVE assists businesses looking to trim computing costs and improve efficiency through cloud computing. With Windows Azure, businesses can take advantage of one consistent platform regardless of where workloads are running. Additionally, customers can benefit from consistency in heterogeneous environments between Microsoft datacentres, hosted datacentres and their own internal datacentres.

Windows Azure provides Double-Take MOVE customers with:
· Flexible development
· Unified management
· Integrated virtualisation
· Complete data platform
·
Double-Take MOVE protects business productivity with resource-friendly, real-time replication technology that allows users and applications to remain productive while the migration is happening. It also provides the flexibility to migrate a specific set of data or an entire server, including the file system, permissions, attributes, compression and encryption setting - all without suspending production operations. Customers can take advantage of Double-Take MOVE to migrate their workloads from any physical server or hypervisor, on premise or cloud installation into Windows Azure. So whether customers need to move from a physical server to Windows Azure or from VMware to Windows Azure to reduce IT costs, Double-Take MOVE is the tool to enable those migrations.

Double-Take MOVE is a part of the Double-Take suite, Vision Solutions' flagship offering for Windows and Linux, developed with more than 20 years' experience providing global availability services and protection to businesses and partners. With more than 25,000 customers running in Windows, Linux, IBM Power Systems and Cloud Computing environments, Vision Solutions excels at the continuous pursuit of making business continuity simpler and more affordable.
