NSI Software, Inc. (NSI(R)), a leading provider of high availability and data replication technology, today affirmed its leadership in protecting Microsoft(R) Exchange Server by announcing the deployment of 12,000 licenses of its award winning Double-Take(R) solution.

"A Microsoft Gold Certified Partner, NSI has worked closely with Microsoft and its customers to provide data protection for Exchange Servers with Double-Take," said Warren Ashton, Group Product Manager Exchange, Microsoft. "As the Exchange platform continues to become an increasingly important enterprise application, our customers need an affordable, easy to deploy and effective solution to protect mission critical data in the event of a disaster or system outage. NSI products are addressing the needs of customers in helping them protect their messaging platform."

Using patented technology, Double-Take replicates changes to Exchange data continuously as they occur, providing up-to-the-second protection with maximum performance and minimal use of network bandwidth. By replicating data at the byte level to a back up server, Double-Take can easily failover in the event of an outage to ensure little or no loss of data or productivity.

Through its partnership with Microsoft, NSI has a deep understanding of the Exchange platform. Its professional services organization can customize an Exchange protection solution to meet varying business requirements and many of NSI Software's service engineers and support representatives are Microsoft certified. Double-Take can be tailored to meet high availability, disaster recovery or remote availability requirements to help companies deploy a cost-effective data protection solution for their messaging platform.

With over 12,000 licenses of Double-Take deployed for Exchange Server protection, NSI customers are raving. Here is what just a few of them had to say about partnering with NSI to protect their Exchange Server:

"We needed a solution that would be rock-solid and would integrate with our current Exchange and Windows environments - when Microsoft recommended we look at Double-Take, we knew we were on to something. If we had a system outage, for any reason, we didn't want Microsoft to turn to us and say 'told you so.' Double-Take was the clear solution."

-Jay Wessel, Sr. Director of Technology, Boston Celtics

"As one of the largest law schools in the country, we have an enormous amount of vital data to maintain in Exchange, and little tolerance for downtime. Not only does Double-Take provide us with real-time data protection, but it was also instrumental to our Exchange migration. By using Double-Take to replicate and failover 223Gb+ of data from the Exchange 2000 servers to the new 2003 servers, we were able to perform an in-place upgrade without any impact to our 1600+ users."

-Victor Febres-Elias, Senior Network Systems Engineer and Special Projects Manager at the University of Miami Law School

"We're running 28 Exchange servers, with a user base of 20,000 people - and we're growing every day. With that many people using Exchange for vital information, we can't afford an outage. When looking at solutions, we had a lot of demanding requirements such as a many-to-one configuration and simple failover/failback procedures that could be handled by any member of our staff at any time of the day. Double-Take not only met those requirements, but was half the price of other solutions on the market."

-Mike Skochinski, Senior Engineer & Exchange Manager, First American Title

"We needed a stable, flexible, and mature product, with the ability to replicate data at the byte level and support all file types since we were backing up a few applications, including Exchange. NSI fit very well with our needs because of both its strong technology and professional service offerings that helped with implementation without taking us away from our day-to-day tasks."

-Karen Bryant, IT Operations and Network Manager, Shorenstein Company

In addition to leading the industry in Exchange deployments with Double-Take, NSI has used its partnership with, and knowledge of Microsoft environments to provide customers with an additional level of protection for Exchange servers running in clustered environments. Built on the Double-Take technology, GeoCluster(R) runs on top of Microsoft Cluster Service (MSCS) to enable stretch clustering and offers customers with MSCS enabled environments the ability to increase data and application protection through remote availability.
