The TDSvfo is triggered as an action to some specified event and then evacuates a VMware ESX host using VMotion and puts the ESX host in Maintenance Mode. It can optionally shutdown the ESX host when finished. This application can be installed as a plugin to various systems management tools (Dell Open Manage, IBM Director etc). For instance, the TDSvfo can be set up to move all Virtual Machines away from an ESX host that sends a Pre Failure Alert message (PFA) or other critical alert before that host goes down, effectively giving you a pre-event failover without disrupting your services. Used together with VMware HA, TDSvfo gives you complete pre- and post event failover of your services running on VMware, giving you an extra level of service continuity.
