Worcester, UK. – 31st July 2008 – Double-Take Software (NASDAQ: DBTK) today announced that its software has been selected by Worcestershire NHS Trust to protect its critical IT systems. The project, which will be rolled out over the next two months, provides a layer of high availability for both physical and virtual servers, including systems hosting the Accident and Emergency unit’s SQL database.

Worcestershire NHS Trust has selected Double-Take’s® Full-Server Failover Option (FFO), which in combination with Double-Take continuous data replication will allow the Trust to rapidly failover entire servers, including the operating system (OS), applications and data – even to servers with different hardware configurations.

Peter Lowe, IT manager at the Worcestershire NHS Trust, commented, “It’s clearly very important to our patients that the Trust’s systems are always available. We have selected Double-Take to ensure that in the event of localised IT failure, or a more widespread disaster, our IT systems will continue to serve the Trust’s needs.”

Ian Masters, UK sales and marketing director at Double-Take Software, said, “Worcestershire NHS Trust is one of the highest performing Trusts in the country and serves a local population in excess of 500,000. We’re proud to be part of helping the Trust meet its operational targets into the future.”
