Enterprise-class High Availability and Disaster Recovery and Management for VMware ESX Environments

IT organizations have been able to increase server utilization and reduce hardware costs with VMware. However, in doing so, the requirements for robust application and disaster recovery solutions have been exacerbated as companies move production applications into virtual machines. The stacking of multiple virtual machines on a physical server increases the business impact of application downtime caused by human, software, hardware, server, or even site failures. Moreover, as a larger percentage of applications running on virtual servers are joining applications deployed on physical servers, IT organizations are now demanding a common set of tools to exceed service level agreements spanning the physical and virtual infrastructure and that complement VMware's tools for reducing planned downtime, VMotion, and improving workload performance, DRS. Attend this session to learn best practices for improving your application availability and disaster recovery solutions for virtual server environments with best of breed solutions from VMware and Symantec.
