Business continuity. Application assurance. Virtualization. Consider that a mission-critical progression. Business continuity is essential for business productivity. Bluntly put, if people can't get their work done, it's impossible to realize revenue. The applications that are most central to the productivity of every staff person in your organization are e-mail and SQL databases. They need reliable and consistent access to those applications in order to communicate with work peers, customers, and partners.

The problem is that application assurance, particularly the assurance of e-mail in Windows-based environments, is challenging. And it can be easy to become complacent when outages are sporadic at best. However, every outage presents such negative business impact that complacency is irresponsible. Virtualization answers the need for business continuity and challenge of application assurance enabling companies to quickly and seamlessly recover from e-mail outages and keep business on track.
