Uptime (VMware and Business Continuity)

We continue to see a lot of interest and questions about how to protect VMware environments as well as a lot of excitement about the new and future technologies that VMware has developed and talked about, so we wanted to create a place where we can give you some additional insight into what we're seeing and working on here at VMware.  This blog will focus on products and solutions for business continuity in virtualized environments.  We’ll talk about data protection, high availability, and disaster recovery solutions that include VMware Infrastructure and products like VMware Consolidated Backup, High Availability, and Site Recovery Manager.
