High Availability with EverAvail™ Double-Take

From installation to operation to recovery, MobileWorks™is much more than a Good Appliance. MobileWorks’ innovative EverAvail™ utilizes the Double-Take® application and server high availability and backup solution to protect the Good for Government implementation and your users from system failure and information loss in the event of a same-site primary system shutdown or COOP facility failover.

EverAvail Double-Take includes such features as:

automated physical and virtual machine failover
automated data synchronization to ensure successful and accurate COOP facility startup and execution
protected data compression to improve transfer speed
centralized reporting and analysis
email notification to ensure minimal downtime and complete protection of your mission-critical mobility device management systems and data.

MobileWorks’ innovative MobileWorks™EverAvail™ Double-Take includes a set of advanced automated back-up and recovery utilities that simplify crucial daily back-up routines. With EverAvail Double-Take you quickly back-up the complete appliance image in the appliance itself (or on a network-shared drive), apply a patch, and then, if there is a problem, restore the system to a previous “snapshot” (even in the event of a Windows failure).

No matter how your internal IT support resources may change, you can be confident that MobileWorks™DE for Good will deliver the performance, reliability and compliance your agency requires for secure mobile device communications.
