 "Symantec Brings Veritas Cluster Server 5.0 For VMware ESX")
Symantec has announced the general availability of Veritas Cluster Server 5.0 for VMware ESX, its disaster recovery solution for business-critical virtual environments.
Cluster Server for VMware ESX provides monitoring capabilities for applications running inside virtual machines and automates failover across local and remote sites in the event of disasters to provide application availability.
Veritas Cluster Server 5.0 also claims to offer added protection against virtual machine or application failures, including:
• Server, application and resource monitoring, which provides a higher level of availability
• Automatic recovery from application, network storage, virtual resource, virtual server, and physical server failures
• Centralized management of virtual and physical clustered servers from a single console
• Protection from wide area disasters by integrating disaster recovery plan verification tools
“Customers who are building out virtual server farms look to Symantec for the same disaster recovery capabilities they have relied on to maximize availability in traditional server environments,” said Dan Lamorena, senior manager of product marketing for Symantec’s Data Center Management Group. “Veritas Cluster Server for VMware ESX helps organizations reduce the complexity of managing server and application real estate to ensure availability of business-critical applications.”
