Alan Arnold, Chief Technology Officer, Vision Solutions: "For organisations in the banking sector, offering online services for account management provides customers with a useful service and gives them greater control over their finances. However, the IT systems that support this require a full business continuity plan so that customers are not inconvenienced at any time. Double-Take Availability provides real-time replication for the bank's critical servers, ensuring that all data is protected and that these systems can be up and running instantly at the bank's disaster recovery site in the unlikely case of a failure event affecting production machines."

Vladimír Sechter, Assistant Manager, Commerzbank: "We view the Double-Take solution as a good choice for the protection of our servers. It facilitates truly efficient backup, not only for our data, but also its real-time development, and lastly guarantees the uninterrupted operation of our client systems."
