Break Point – Virtualization and Availability

This report examines a fundamental change in how computer systems can be made more resilient and less prone to failure, more simply than in the past and at lower cost. The ‘break point’ has been the advent of server virtualization, which adds a new element to the mix of hardware redundancy, clustering, replication and shared storage utilities that have traditionally been used to implement high availability, business continuity, fault tolerance and disaster recovery.
