VMworld 2013: Session BCO5065 – vSphere Fault Tolerance for Multiprocessor VMs – Technical Preview
This session will describe exciting new developments in implementing VMware vSphere® Fault Tolerance (VMware FT) for multiprocessor virtual machines. This new technology allows continuous availability of multiprocessor virtual machines with literally zero downtime and zero data loss, even surviving server failures, while staying completely transparent to the guest software stack, requiring absolutely no configuration of in-guest software. In this technical preview, we will outline the virtues of VMware FT, provide a detailed look at the new technology enabling VMware FT for multiprocessor virtual machines, offer guidance on how to plan and configure your environments to best deploy these capabilities, examine performance data and showcase a demo of the technology in action.
