Eliminate Downtime Due to Hardware Failures
VMware Fault Tolerance provides continuous availability for applications in the event of server failures, by creating a live shadow instance of a virtual machine that is in virtual lockstep with the primary instance. By allowing instantaneous failover between the two instances in the event of hardware failure, VMware Fault Tolerance eliminates even the smallest chance of data loss or disruption.
Protect Your Applications Regardless of Operating System or Underlying Hardware*
Protect any virtual machine including homegrown applications and custom applications that cannot be protected with traditional high availability products.

Simple to Set Up and Turn On and Off on a Per-Machine Basis
VMware Fault Tolerance can be easily turned on or off for individual virtual machines. Since it leverages existing VMware HA clusters, any number of virtual machines in this cluster can be protected with VMware Fault Tolerance. Applications that require continuous protection during certain critical periods of time such as quarter end processing, can utilize VMware Fault Tolerance for higher assurance of availability during those time periods.
vCenter Server is required to use this feature.
*VMware Fault Tolerance requires Intel 31xx, 33xx, 52xx, 54xx, 55xx, 74xx or AMD 13xx,23xx, 83xx series of processors or above.
