VMware VirtualCenter
Enterprise-class software that allows you to manage your virtual infrastructure. VirtualCenter provides the central point of control for enterprise-wide workload management, provisioning and availability. It simplifies IT so companies leverage their storage, network, and computing resources to control costs and respond faster.
VMware HA is a feature-rich product that continuously monitors all physical servers in a resource pool and restarts virtual machines affected by server failure.
- Detects server failures automatically, using a “heartbeat” on servers.
- Monitors capacity continuously to ensure space is always available to restart virtual machines in the event of server failure.
- Restarts virtual machines almost instantly without human intervention on a different physical server within the same resource pool.
- Chooses the optimal physical servers within a resource pool on which to restart virtual machines (if used in conjunction with VMware DRS).
