Double Take solutions or Storage Crafts solutions work with physical and virtual machines.

If you have just virtual then VMware FT.

<div>
I took a look at Double Take Solutions. &nbsp;It seems more like a DR solution. &nbsp;Storage Crafts looks like &nbsp;a cloud solution. <br />
Not too sure if they provide FT function.<br />
Any idea &nbsp;what the average cost is please?<br />
<br />
I do understand there is Replication and SRM in VMware. &nbsp;But I am looking for a simple &nbsp;FT solution to ensure our Servers are available &nbsp;24x7.<br />
Thanks.

What is the best and easiest way to create Fault Tolerance (24 x 7 continuous) availability for our critical servers to ensure the services do not go down at all in Virtual (VMware) and Physical.<br />
<br />
I believe in VMware I could use the FT feature (since we have vCenter 6); however for Physical servers what is the best solution.

Fault Tolerance - VMware

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.
