Fault Tolerance is based on the vLockstep-technology and offers consistent data availability without breakdown and data loss for all applications – without the costs and complexity of conventional solutions for hardware and software clustering.

Advantages and features:

• seamless failover with status report:
  In the failure case of protected virtual machines a failover automatically takes place with the status receipt, so there are no down times, no data-loss and an uninterrupted availability
• automatic creation of secondary virtual machines:
  After the failover a secondary virtual machine is automatically created to ensure the continuous protections of the applications
• compatible with all shared storage types:
  Fault Tolerance supports all types of shared storage (Fibre Channel, NAS, iSCSI)
• compatibility all operating systems:
  Fault Tolerance supports all with ESX compatible operating systems
• compatibility with existing DRS- and HA-cluster:
  Fault Tolerance supports existing DRS- and HA-clusters and an additional Gigabit-Ethernet-network
• simple administration through Point-and-Click:
  Fault Tolerance is simply activated in the vSphere Client by Point-and-Click
