Symantec and VMware secure virtualized business applications

Tags: industry collaboration, SaaS, Symamtec, VMWare

Symantec today launched two solutions targeted to help customers securely virtualize their business applications and minimize storage costs on the VMware platform. 

Symantec ApplicationHA, based on the Veritas Cluster Server technology, enhances application level visibility and control of business critical applications in VMware environments. The solution supports MS SQL Server, Exchange, IIS, Oracle and SAP, and is compatible with VMware vMotion and VMware Distributed Resource Scheduler.

Symantec VirtualStore, based on Veritas Storage Foundation technology, is a software-based storage management solution for VMware virtual machines that will provide rapid provisioning of servers and virtual desktops, efficient cloning and accelerated boot up of virtual machines. It is fully integrated with VMware vCenter Server.

"In most VMware environments, recovery from application failures requires manual intervention. Symantec has leveraged its advanced Veritas Cluster Server technology and strong partnership with VMware to build an application-aware high availability solution, largely automating the process of detecting and recovering from application failures inside a virtual machine," said Jeff Byrne, senior analyst and consultant, Taneja Group.
