Abstract
IT managers and executives have enthusiastically embraced server virtualization
because it greatly increases server utilization, reduces capital costs and cuts
operating expenses. And a growing number of IT executives are looking beyond
server consolidation to use virtualization for simpler, more efficient disaster recovery
and application availability.
By enabling IT managers to move virtual machines (and the applications they host)
between physical servers, server virtualization gives them a powerful method for
reducing planned downtime and speeding recovery. But protecting virtual machines
from unplanned downtime and unforeseen outages is a challenge. Traditional
approaches to ensuring application availability are complex and costly, and these
shortcomings are amplified when applied to virtual environments. Adding cost and
complexity can erode the cost savings and efficiency benefits of server virtualization.
IT managers need availability solutions that are simple, non-disruptive and cost-effective
so they can extend availability to any virtual machine to ensure business
resiliency. This white paper will explore a completely new approach to availability for
virtual machines—an approach recognized with the Best of VMworld 2007 - New
Technology award.
