I wish to use vSphere 5.5's App HA appliance to provide HA to Microsoft IIS application. (I do have VMware's 24 page PDF doc - &quot;vSphere App HA Installation and Configuration Guide&quot;.)<br />

Has anyone had any experience with it? How well it works? Any precautions or tips? Thanks.<br />

How good is vSphere's App HA feature?

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
