This section describes the software used to provide non-stop storage.
Business servers
VMware vSphere 6.0 is set up on ESXi servers and used for the hypervisor layer.
vSphere HA is used for the cluster layer, with the virtual servers able to run on any of the ESXi servers.
Either Windows or Linux can be used as the OS, depending on the requirements of the respective business servers.
Select the middleware that suits the operation based on the choice of OS.

Management server

As is the case with the business servers, VMware vSphere 6.0 is set up on an ESXi server and used for the hypervisor layer.
Because this example uses a single management server, vSphere HA is not used for the cluster layer.
