VMware Fault Tolerance (FT) prevents revenue loss from mission-critical, high revenue generating applications outageshigh-revenue generating applications outages
Simplicity of configuration and reduced time & effort compared to hardware-based solutions adds even more savings
For a 10 physical server, 150 VM environment, assume ~10% of VMs are protected by FT (15 VMs). 2 host failures in the cluster per year Lost revenue per minute of high-revenue apps can range fromhost failures in the cluster per year. Lost revenue per minute of high-revenue apps can range from
$2000-15000 per minute depending on type of transactions being processed.
