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 Symantec products such as Symantec Cluster Server and Symantec ApplicationHA.

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

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