As customers expand their use of VMware, maintaining a highly available management infrastructure is quickly becoming a key requirement. Learn about VMware’s new availability solution for vCenter Server and how it expands infrastructure and services sales opportunities.
The title of the webex is “Introducing VMware vCenter Server Heartbeat”
In other words, there’s an add on coming up that provides high availability for your vCenter Server. We will have to wait until tomorrow before more details are announced!
I just also noticed that there will be a session at VMworld Europe on vCenter Server Heartbeat:
DC10 – Chosing a Solution for vCenter Server Availability (by David Friedlander VMware Product Manager)

Uhh, bad timing. Was just about to bring my vCenter on MSCS :-/

Don’t bother with MSCS as it blows! I hope this means I can un-cluster ours!
Duncan says
Yes it probably will. I will try to find out what I can and can’t share in the upcoming days.
