The service enhances the suite of fully managed e-mail and Web security solutions offered on MessageLabs SaaS platform.

Double-Take Software has enabled Unicorn IT, a provider of managed IT services, to launch a managed business continuity service, reports Blocks and Files.

The service, Continue, uses the real-time data protection and recoverability functionality of Double-Take to provide small and medium-sized business (SMBs) with enterprise-level IT continuity.

Continue replicates data from an SMB's servers to fully managed target servers within Unicorn IT's data centre. In the event of server failure at the SMB's main site, delivery of IT services is rapidly transferred to the target servers, which hold an up-to-date copy of data and provide near-continuous service to users.
