Neverfail & VMWare vSphere 4

Complete Business Continuity Solutions using Neverfail and VMWare vSphere 4.

One of the hottest topics in today’s I.T. corridors revolves around the uses and benefits of hardware virtualisation technologies. I.T. administrators everywhere are implementing virtualisation for a variety of business needs, most notably server consolidation and rapid system provisioning.

However with each application that moves to a virtual server, new risks for application continuity occur. Maintaining continuous availability through the migration process, across application issues after virtualisation and through external events such as disasters requires careful consideration to processes and supporting architectures.

Continuous Availability

Using Neverfail as an integral part of your VMWare vSphere 4 virtualisation strategy delivers Continuous Availability throughout your virtualisation projects:

• Implement Neverfail to protect your mission critical applications with secondary servers on virtual machines.
• Test physical to virtual migration through seamless switch over. If there are issues simply switchback.
• When satisfied with performance switchover mission-critical applications to the virtual server permanently.
• Provide Disaster Recovery by deploying secondary servers offsite with WAN optimised protection.

Using Neverfail as part of your VMWare vSphere 4 virtualisation project will keep applications running during planned migration, allow extensive testing and provide off-site disaster recovery protection with bandwidth optimisation without expensive storage technologies.
