Description:

This white paper provides an overview of the challenges that organizations face in virtualizing business critical applications given their current tools and processes. Specifically, it focuses on the high availability requirements of these applications and the difficulty and compromises organizations have to make due to lack of an effective solution. The paper introduces a new joint solution from Symantec and VMware called ApplicationHA that addresses the challenges without forcing organizations to make difficult trade-offs between fully protecting business-critical applications, exploiting virtualization capabilities, and minimizing operational cost and complexity.
