Redundant components and redundant systems are frequently used to provide a way to maintain availability in spite of the failure of a hardware or software component. Without VMware virtualization, the need to purchase duplicate components or duplicate systems in order to create redundancy makes this an expensive solution. In some cases additional software is also needed to support failover to the redundant system or component. Virtual infrastructure makes redundancy much more practical to implement. Most significantly, you can share redundant elements across workloads—now multiple virtual m
