IRVINE, CA--(Marketwire - August 24, 2010) - Vision Solutions, Inc., the world's leading provider of information availability software and services for Windows, Linux, IBM Power Systems and Cloud Computing markets, has announced three finalists for the 2010 Double-Take® Availability for Windows Legal Customer of the Year award. This international award recognizes the impactful use of the company's Double-Take Availability for Windows high availability and full server failover product. The winning firm will be selected based on the positive business impact of their implementation.
The legal sector recognizes the need for a more resilient IT infrastructure and the benefits a highly available infrastructure can provide. Firms need continuous access to full systems, including data, applications and operating systems, to avoid loss of revenue and productivity. In fact, a study conducted by CIO.com revealed that downtime results in significant costs for law firms -- with reports ranging from $1,000-$10,000 per hour of downtime. When a firm's operations are interrupted, a profound ripple effect can occur and extend to every company the firm represents. Downtime and data loss can also affect a firm's reputation in the marketplace and its ability to meet compliance requirements.
This year's finalists use Double-Take Availability for Windows to provide application uptime and full server protection to keep their operations available, even through a disaster. The winner will be announced during the 2010 ILTA Conference at Vision Solutions' booth 938.
