Symantec ApplicationHA ( v. 6.0 ) - license

As server virtualization adoption increases, IT is pressured into leveraging the benefits of virtualization on their business-critical applications; however, there are challenges with minimizing downtime associated with application failures within virtual machines. Symantec ApplicationHA addresses these challenges. ApplicationHA combines the best in class server virtualization solution from VMware with the industry leading application high availability solution from Symantec. ApplicationHA enables administrators to safely move business-critical applications into virtual server environments with confidence by dramatically improving application availability. Moreover, ApplicationHA is fully integrated with VMware vCenter, helping reducing operations and training costs.

ApplicationHA leverages Veritas Cluster Server from Symantec, the market-leading, cross-platform high availability and disaster recovery solution to work in conjunction with VMware HA to provide comprehensive application availability in VMware environments. ApplicationHA and VMware HA, combined, provide protection for virtual machines as well as the applications that are running inside them. In the event an application fails inside the virtual machine, ApplicationHA coordinates the automated recovery of the application, and when appropriate can coordinate a virtual machine reboot with VMware HA.
