NOTES:

  1. Virtualization of the HARRP (target) server(s) is currently not available or supported.
  2. Software RAID is neither recommended nor supported with the HARRP (target) server(s).
  3. Hardware used should be approved based on the current Microsoft® Windows Catalog Listing.
  4. Other compatible Windows® Operating Systems include: Windows® Server 2003 (Standard or Enterprise) with SP2.
  5. The Operating System (build and version) on the source server(s) must match the Operating System (build and version) on the HARRP target server(s).
  6. 1 Gbps network recommended for maximum speed and performance.
  7. CPU identified above is for Intel®'s Nehalem (microarchitecture). Each CPU has three separate memory controller hubs (MCHs) within the CPU package, and requires each memory channel to be populated per CPU for optimal use.
  8. Primary (source) and HARRP (target) servers should not be placed in the same rack or location for optimum reliability.
  9. Double-Take® Standard licenses only work with Windows® Standard Operating Systems.
  10. Double-Take® Advanced licenses only work with Windows® Advanced or Enterprise Operating Systems.
  11. Specifications subject to change without notice as newer computer models become available.
  12. Optional full height rack available at extra cost.
