Neverfail for VMware VirtualCenter Listing updated: May 31, 2008

Neverfail for VMware VirtualCenter is a continuous availability solution designed to protect your VirtualCenter management environment, including License Server. It clones, and then continuously replicates, configuration settings, data and the SQL Server databases to ensure that a consistent, up-to-date copy of VMware VirtualCenter is maintained on a secondary server.

Neverfail then monitors VirtualCenter to predict risks to availability. Risk factors include services becoming unavailable, performance degradation, operating system failures and total machine failures. When an outage is unavoidable, Neverfail automatically switches VirtualCenter control to a secondary machine. There is no interruption to the management and control operations offered by VirtualCenter, virtual infrastructure management policies simply continue to run delivering maximum quality of service to end-user applications.

Sonasoft SonaSafe Listing updated: June 25, 2008

Sonasoft offers a solution which provides an integrated data protection, high availability and disaster recovery solution for Exchange and SQL servers. SonaSafe application supports many disaster recovery scenarios for virtual servers. Customers can have multiple physical servers at the primary location and at the offsite disaster recovery location; they can have one physical server with multiple virtual servers. Also, multiple virtual servers from the primary site can be backed up and replicated to the disaster recovery site.

In the case of SonaSafe, both on physical and virtual servers, the appropriate agents are installed and these agents have a very small footprint. Because of the limited footprint, the impact on these servers is minimal from a performance perspective. With other replication solutions, one has to install the entire application on the virtual servers and this will take a huge toll on performance.
