Presentation given on March 18th, 2015 by Greg Ross from Vision Solutions as part of the thinkASG University Series - Extending your Data Center with Cloud. The presentation focused on using Double-Take to seamlessly migrate workloads from on-premise to public cloud, from public cloud to another public cloud, and even from public cloud back to on-premise. Greg takes us through how to move from VMware to Hyper-V and also from Hyper-V to VMware, depending on your specific requirement.

Unified Replication Engine

17. Replication Technology

18. Used in multiple Workflows for
Windows and Linux
Many-to-one virtual and physical
production server/VM protection
and migration
Helper Appliances are either created
(Windows) or deployed (Linux)
Target VM configuration does not
have to match production
physical/virtual configuration
Chipsets and hypervisors may be
different between production and
target

23. Full Server Migration and Failover Technology
Staged information
overwrites system
configuration (non-
hardware)

24. Target is automatically rebooted at the conclusion of
the process, and becomes the production server
Server Reboot
DR_01 BES_01
Identity, SID, GUID and all non-hardware
configuration are overwritten. IP information
may be replaced, or maintained with DNS updates
to re-route users.

27. • Failback can be performed in several ways:
• Reverse operation using original tools
• Manually creating protection/failover in the opposite
direction (when original server is lost)
• Choosing a different tool entirely to create a
protection/failover configuration
• i.e. VRA to fail over, Full-Server to fail back
Failback Options
