ApplicationHA 1

Symantec ApplicationHA

• ApplicationHA (Launched in September 2010)

– Joint partnership with VMware to address “Application Awareness” in a VM

– Virtualizes business-critical applications with confidence

– Monitors applications in VMs and automate recovery

– Managed within vCenter

• What’s new in this release?

– Application aware Disaster Recovery solution with VMware Site Recovery Manager (SRM) integration

ApplicationHA 2

Application availability a key requirement for virtualization of critical apps

• VM up ≠ Application up

• VM boot up or recovered ≠ Application started or recovered

• Application processes up ≠ Application functional

• VM boot up order ≠ Application startup order

Ensuring Application Availability

Coordinating new deployments and upgrades

Managing unanticipated cost increases

Overcoming existing allocation, purchasing and budget practices

Compensating for the lack of integrated management tools

Key challenges in managing virtualized servers1

Current tools and processes force challenging trade-offs

ApplicationHA 4

Virtualize everything

Delay virtualization

• Slows down virtualization initiatives

• Increases operational complexity

Monitoring tool + scripting

• Longer RCA and recovery time

• Burden to maintain scripts

O/S based clustering in the guest

• Prevents use of vMotion, DRS, DPM

• Increases cost + complexity
