A Leading International Intellectual Property Rights Firm Enjoys Full Protection For Microsoft Exchange and Elite Enterprise Practice Management Systems

Storage Expo / Worcester, UK– 14th October 2009 – Double-Take® Software (NASDAQ: DBTK), today announced that Rouse, a leading IP consultancy & Law firm is using Double-Take to safeguard two of its most critical business applications against the risk of downtime. The company uses Double-Take to help protect its global email and practice management systems against losses of service and client data.

Double-Take Software provides replication for Rouse’s Microsoft Exchange and Elite Enterprise applications from the company’s production data centre to its co-location site. The applications are hosted within the company’s UK head office, and accessed from 20 offices in 11 countries throughout the world

Jonathan Bruce, global head of IT at Rouse, commented, “These two applications are fundamental to our employees across the organisation: if they were not available for any reason, it would have a severe impact on productivity at each office world-wide. Email is essential for client contact, while our Elite Enterprise system is responsible for recording and billing for the work that we do so availability of these applications is critical. Any degree of downtime could potentially affect our brand reputation, as well as our ability to provide clients with the level of service that they expect. Double-Take provides us with the necessary degree of protection against this risk. Even in the event of a full office failure, we can have the email and practice management services back up and running within our recovery time objective of four hours.”

Double-Take is used by a large number of law firms in the UK to provide high availability, backup, disaster recovery and business continuity. Companies that have implemented Double-Take to protect their critical applications include Bird & Bird, Field Fisher Waterhouse and DLA Piper.

“More and more organisations are having to consider the impact that downtime can have on their business,” said Ian Masters, UK sales and marketing director at Double-Take Software. “The legal sector continues to invest in business continuity and back-up solutions as a way to ensure their level of service, maintain hourly billing records and keep one step ahead of their competition. We have a long history in helping companies in this market to protect their systems and data.”

Double-Take Software’s workload optimisation solutions are the most commonly deployed within the legal industry world-wide to meet their business continuity and data replication requirements, according to the most recent survey by the International Legal Technology Association in August 2009.
