### Integral Evaluation Problem

**Problem Statement:**
Evaluate the following integral:

\[ 2 \int_{0}^{a} \frac{dx}{(a^2 + x^2)^{3/2}}, \quad a > 0 \]

**Details:**
- The function under the integral is \(\frac{1}{(a^2 + x^2)^{3/2}}\).
- The limits of integration are from 0 to \(a\).
- The given condition is \(a > 0\).

This integral involves evaluating the definite integral of a function which may require techniques such as trigonometric substitution or recognition of a standard integral form.
