Deliver high availability across your entire virtualized IT environment
without the cost or complexity of traditional clustering solutions.
VMware HA provides cost-effective high availability for any application
running in a virtual machine, regardless of its operating system
or underlying hardware configuration. VMware HA eliminates the need
for dedicated stand-by hardware and additional software.

Protect Your Infrastructure from Multiple Sources of Failure:
VMware HA provides pervasive, cost-effective failover protection
within your virtualized IT environment.
- Protect applications with no other failover options and
make high availability possible for software applications that
might otherwise be left unprotected.
- Protect applications from OS related failures by automatically
restarting virtual machines when failure is detected (experimental
mode).
- Establish a consistent first line of defense for your entire
IT infrastructure.
Automatically
Restart Virtual Machines:
VMware HA is a feature-rich product that continuously monitors
all physical servers in a resource pool and restarts virtual machines
affected by server failure.
- Monitors and detects virtual machines for “guest OS” failures
and automatically starts virtual machines after user-specified
intervals.
- Detects server failures automatically, using a “heartbeat”
on servers.
- Restarts virtual machines almost instantly without human
intervention on a different physical server within the same
resource pool.
- Continuously monitors and chooses the optimal physical servers
within a resource pool on which to restart virtual machines
(if used in conjunction with VMware DRS).
VMware HA is included in VMware Infrastructure Enterprise Edition
and can be purchased as an add-on product to the Standard and Starter
editions. Get more information on the
VMware Infrastructure editions.
Benefits:
- Minimize un-planned downtime and IT service disruption
- Eliminate the need for dedicated stand-by hardware and the
installation of additional software
- Enable affordable uniform high availability across the entire
virtualized IT environment
- Avoid the cost and complexity of failover solutions tied
to either operating systems or specific applications
VMware High Availability (HA) Feature:
- Scalable high availability across multiple physical servers.
Support up to 32 nodes in a cluster for high application
availability.
- Automatic detection of server failures. Virtual machines
with VMware HA provide an easy to use and cost-effective failover
solution to protect against server failures.
- Enhanced support for monitoring failures within virtual
machines (experimental). VMware HA detects operating system
failures within virtual machines through monitoring heartbeat
information. If a failure is detected, based upon user-defined
time intervals, the affected virtual machine
- Automatic restart of virtual machines. Protect any
application with automatic restart in a different physical server
in the resource pool.
- Improved overall reliability through enhanced isolation
address response. This capability enhances reliability in
confirming network failure on the service console by allowing
multiple addresses to be pinged before declaring that a node
is isolated in the cluster.

- Resource checks. Ensure that capacity is always available
in order to restart all virtual machines affected by server
failure. HA continuously monitors capacity utilization and “reserves”
spare capacity to be able to restart virtual machines.
- Proactive monitoring and health checks. VMware HA
helps VMware Infrastructure users identify abnormal configuration
settings detected within HA clusters. This keeps unhandled failure
conditions and errors from happening more than once. The VMware
Infrastructure client interface reports relevant health status
and potential error conditions and suggested remediation steps.
- Smart failover of virtual machines (when used with
VMware Distributed Resource Scheduler). Automate the optimal
placement of virtual machines to servers with best available
resources after server failure.
