Symantec products can provide the ultimate levels of availability in your KVM environment. In an KVM environment, you can choose a different combination of Symantec High Availability solutions: ApplicationHA and Veritas Cluster Server (VCS).

ApplicationHA by itself provides application monitoring and restart capabilities while providing ultimate visibility and manageability through Veritas Operations Manager. When ApplicationHA is adopted together with Veritas Cluster Server in the host, the two solutions work together to ensure that the applications are monitored and restarted if needed, and virtual machines are restarted if application restarts are not effective. These two solutions work together to provide the ultimate level of availability in your KVM environment.

If your KVM environment requires the same level of application availability provided by a VCS cluster in a physical environment, you can choose to adopt Veritas Cluster Server in the virtual machines. In this configuration, your application enjoys fast failover capability in a VCS cluster in the virtual machines.
