By enabling the automatic reallocation of resources within business critical compute environments, application and system virtualization technologies provide the foundation for the availability and performance management required for today's critical server-based applications. As moves to reduce IT Total Cost of Ownership act as catalysts for server consolidation efforts and migration to server-hosted web services, the construction and deployment of configurations which bring increased levels of availability and performance management to these environments is a business imperative. This paper presents scenarios illustrating the integration of SteelEye LifeKeeper and VMware ESX Server and shows how, when combined, these virtualization solutions enable the building of configurations to provide highest levels of application availability management.
