Building great products is never an accident. Often the difference between good and great products is not the coolest technology or the meanest performing gadget. It is its laser focus on addressing a pressing customer challenge as quickly as possible with the best of breed technologies.

VMware and Symantec have been working feverishly as one team in doing just that over the past few months in addressing a significant customer challenge around application-aware high availability.

Both companies had individually heard from their respective (and often overlapping) customers about the need for application level visibility, control, and high availability in VMware ecosystem. Lack of a good solution that addresses this need had been preventing customers from bringing virtualization benefits to business critical tier1 application – a significant challenge impacting customers’ virtualization initiatives.

A major focus is to create a more agile and efficient data center by closely aligning infrastructure and the applications they support in a way that provides significant ROI. Server virtualization is one way of doing this with its ability to enable organizations to reduce capital expenses and operating costs while providing higher service levels. That is why today we are announcing Symantec VirtualStore.

Server virtualizations come its own challenges, most notably storage management for ESX environments. While a majority of VMware ESX servers connect to their datastores using either Fiber Channel or iSCSI, NFS for VMware has squashed many associated myths related to performance and scalability and is now a very popular protocol for ESX servers.

To solve the storage challenges associated with server...
