The IRS-Office of Chief Counsel has a need to use the brand-name 'Double-Take' software because of the following reasons: 1. Double-Take software provides multiple levels of data compression, rather than a simple on/off, which gives the ability to set compression levels based on the type of data and replication requirements unlike all other replication products. 2. Unlike all other replication products, Double-Take software has better flexibility in allowing different scheduling settings per replications set, as opposed to having one scheduling setting for all sets. 3. Double-Take software provides full support for New Technology File System (NTFS) encrypted files unlike other replication products. 4. Double-Take software supports File/Print, Exchange, and SQL server replication with the same license unlike other replication products. 5. Unlike other replication products, Double-Take software supports both Full Server Failover of files and applications, as well as Server Recovery Option to recover the entire server contents, including the operating system. 6. Double-Take software is one of the few replication products with multiple Microsoft certifications and is the industry leader in data replication software.
