Symantec ApplicationHA provides monitoring capabilities for applications running inside virtual machines in the virtualization environment. Symantec ApplicationHA adds a layer of application awareness to the core high availability (HA) functionality offered by Veritas™ Cluster Server (VCS) in the physical host. Symantec ApplicationHA is based on VCS, and uses similar concepts such as agents, resources, and service groups. However, Symantec ApplicationHA has a lightweight server footprint that enables faster installation and configuration in virtualization environments.
