Double-Take Move Cloud Migration Center (CMC)

Cloud Migration Center (CMC) – Solution Overview

Double-‐Take Cloud MigraFon Center automates migraFons of Windows servers from any source environment (physical, virtual, or cloud) into AWS clouds.

CMC was built on top of DT Move, so it provides real-‐&me replica&on of the changes occurring on the source. This allows for near-‐zero down&me migraFons.

CMC’s automated discovery process supports finding servers in VMware vCloud Director and vSphere environments, Amazon Web Services EC2 Instances and Windows Servers listed in AcFve Directory. Manually adding servers via IP address is supported as well.

The Best HA/DR Solution for Today’s Enterprise

HA/DR Pain Points

•  Downtime

•  Data Loss

•  Heterogeneous or Hybrid Data Centers

•  Eliminate Vendor Lock-In

•  Regulatory and Compliance Concerns

Double-Take Availability: How HA Works

Produc&on/Source Server HA/DR/Target Server

Double-‐Take

•  EnFre Source protected: data and system state

•  Double-‐Take replicates byte-‐level changes conFnuously

•  Target conFnuously synchronizes replica (data and system state)

•  Monitors Source health for failures, prepared to failover if needed



Double-‐Take

•  Detects failure and manages failover process, including system state merge

•  Merges the replica System State info into the Target’s System State, overwriFng the non-‐hardware info

•  Source down – planned or unplanned



•  Once the System State merge is complete the Target Server reboots

•  Target completely assumes Source logical idenFty (SID, GUID, Name, Apps and OS configuraFon, etc.)

The Double-Take driver sees bytes of I/O en route to

the file system and copies them

into memory

As confirmation of the write travels

back to the application,

Double-Take then sends the bytes to

the target
