Case Study: Strategic Network Consulting achieves minimal downtime and simplified, accurate server migrations with Vision Solutions' Double-Take Move

Strategic Network Consulting - Customer Case Study

Strategic Network Consulting (SNC), an Essex-based IT services firm supporting SMEs, faced frequent customer demands for fast, accurate server migrations with minimal operational downtime. Traditional approaches—copying to tape or shipping NAS devices—meant days of outage, risk of hardware damage and data loss, and unacceptable disruption for customers operating seven days a week.

SNC deployed Double-Take Move to copy systems over the network and maintain real-time synchronization until a planned cutover, using byte-level delta replication, compression and bandwidth throttling to avoid impacting production. The outcome: migrations that previously took days now require only minutes of downtime, with simplified processes, lower labor, no physical media transport, improved accuracy and greater customer peace of mind, and SNC plans to use Double-Take for all future migrations.
