Protecting virtual macchines: the "best of Vmworld" approach

Overview 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. IT managers need availability solutions that are simple, non-disruptive and costeffective 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.
