Full Server Failover
Our Full-Server Failover feature provides high availability for an entire server - including the system state. Using Full-Server Failover Service a source and target server are identified. Once the two servers are selected and their configurations validated, Full-Server Failover monitors the source for failure. If it fails, the target can stand-in for the source by rebooting and applying the source, including its system state on the target. After the target reboots, the target becomes the source and it no longer exists.
What You Can Expect:
- Our Full-Server Failover feature transfers your OS configuration, applications, and data to your target server automatically
- Allows the ability to restore entire servers to servers with different hardware configurations
- Proactive: Replication between SAN, LAN, NAS, and even between Windows operating systems
Full Server Failover Services for Your VMware Environment:
VMware HA is a feature-rich product that continuously monitors all physical servers in a resource pool and restarts virtual machines affected by server failure. It will do the following automatically.
- Monitor and detect virtual machines for guest OS failures and automatically starts virtual machines after user-specified intervals
- Detect server failures automatically, using a heartbeat on servers.
- Restart virtual machines almost instantly without human intervention on a different physical server within the same resource pool.
- Continuously monitor and choose the optimal physical servers within a resource pool on which to restart virtual machines (if used in conjunction with VMware DRS).
