Carbonite Availability vs. IBM Data Replication

I believe it would work well with continuous replication in a DR scenario with no time limits and having the ability to fail back is a bonus, but in a one off move the decision to restrict the time it can sync for has proven to be an issue for us.

IBM InfoSphere Data Replication replication allows work on the daily operation and analyzes the replicated data in real-time with no downgrade of performance. This happens thanks to the incremental data load using the log files instead of querying the database for any changes. It serves as an online backup of the database uploading the data to the cloud in real-time.

• A product is worthless in my opinion if you don't have a great support team to work with. I've had issues with replication jobs that were resolved quickly and easily by the support team.
• DR - Doubletake is the only tool that I'm aware of that can handle DR replication of both physical and virtual environments. There sre others, but they use a snapshot technology, where doubletake has continuous replication of data.
• Move - we have moved physical and virtual environments from around the world without ever having to leave the office. One of the companies we migrated started off with their equipment in Switzerland, and after the servers were in a fully protected state in the US, that failover to the new location took 45 min.

• Performance to detect changes using Incremental Data Delivery with logs.
• Update data in the cloud in real time.
• Saves data in clusters using Apache Hadoop

• More verbose error messages. So we can fix problems with more ease
• More bandwidth settings for throttling.
• Ability to restart services on servers from the double take console

• Better documentation and examples of Console and API.
• Integration with machine learning to analyze the data.
• Examples of how to replicate data from multiple sources and databases to one data lake.

Once through to support it is very good and they have assisted us through a number of issues. I don't always think that they provide a solution, more a workaround, but in a move situation where each copy is moving once, that isn't an issue. I'd be more concerned if we were using it to manage a DR scenario.

It is better for critical apps than Veeam due to the lower RPO. Veeam is favoured by some customers due to it's attractive price point. Zerto is a very strong product and is innovating continuously. I don't see so much of this from DoubleTake.

• It has allowed us through DR testing to meet contractual requirements of our major accounts..
• It gives us peace of mind that in the event of a major issue we can perform our daily business with a relative success rate.

Incentivized

• Analize the daily data in real time using data lakes and Machine Learning.
• Performance of the replication without affecting the relational database of the applications.
• Use of Apache Hadoop for data clustering improving performance.
