High Availability for vCenter
Filed Under vCenter | 2 Comments
vCenter is such an important part of the virtual infrastructure. I thought I’d outline a way to provide high availability to vCenter so that readers have a better idea on how to implement HA for their vCenter environment.
There are several solutions today that facilitate high availability and recovery for vCenter with little to no downtime.
Recently, VMware released the vCenter Heartbeat product to ensure vCenter HA. This product is licensed from the NeverFail Group.
In additon, Double-Take and CA XoSoft are solutions that can help. This demonstration uses CA XoSoft as the solution to provide HA for vCenter. I chose this simply because I already have some familiarity with the product. Other solutions will provided similar capability and should be considered as well. This demonstration was done with vCenter 2.5 but would also work with 4.0.
Enjoy!
