VMblog Expert Interview: Applications, Availability and the Right Tool for the Job

VMblog recently had the chance to catch up with Jonathan Meltzer, Director, Product Management, at SIOS Technology to talk about high availability and using the right tools for the job.

VMblog:  Tell us what you mean when you say companies should consider deploying a selection of tools to respond to company- and application-specific availability challenges.
