About Virtual Business Services

The Virtual Business Services feature provides visualization, orchestration, and reduced frequency and duration of service disruptions for multi-tier business applications running on heterogeneous operating systems and virtualization technologies. A virtual business service represents the multi-tier application as a consolidated entity that helps you manage operations for a business service. It builds on the high availability and disaster recovery provided for the individual tiers by Cluster Server and ApplicationHA products.

Application components that are managed by Cluster Server, ApplicationHA, or Microsoft Failover Clustering can be actively managed through a virtual business service.

You can use the Veritas Operations Manager Management Server console to create, configure, and manage virtual business services.
