Symantec is introducing a new version of its storage management suite for Microsoft Windows environments that, among other things, reduces server failover times from an average of 30 minutes to as little as 1 minute. Veritas Storage Foundation High Availability (SFHA) 6.0 for Windows manages both physical and virtual servers running Microsoft’s Hyper-V hypervisor. Failover time is improved by detecting server failure more quickly using asynchronous monitoring and notification instead of the traditional polling-based monitoring.
