Implementing a solution to enable failover of key applications
is a key element in reducing application downtime.
However, because the hardware and software configuration
of the failover targets must be identical to the primary environment,
implementing a failover solution is expensive in terms of
both capital costs and ongoing maintenance and support costs.
VMware virtual infrastructure streamlines failover, reducing
costs and ensuring rapid, reliable failover. Because virtual
machines are hardware-independent and can share physical resources,
failover can be implemented without requiring identical hardware
and lockstep upgrades. By using shared or replicated storage,
virtual machines can immediately be restarted on the failover
targets when a failure occurs in the primary site environment,
saving time in the failover process.
Quickly failover systems to any hardware by leveraging the
hardware-independence of virtual machines.
