Virtual workloads
Virtual workload protection provides high availability to Hyper-V or ESX virtual servers.
You identify your source, which is the server you want to protect. Your source can be a
physical server, a virtual machine where you want to protect the data within the guest
operating system, or a virtual machine where you want to protect the host-level virtual
disk files (.vhd or .vmdk files). Your target is a Hyper-V or ESX server that will host a
virtual machine that is a replica of the source. Storage Mirroring Recover monitors the
source for a failure. In the event of a source failure, the replica virtual machine on the
target can stand-in allowing end-users to continue accessing data and/or applications.
