Support for vMotion

SonicWall NSv instances on VMware ESXi and on Linux KVM support vMotion. VMware vMotion enables the live migration of a running SonicWall NSv from one physical server to another with zero downtime, continuous service availability, and complete transaction integrity. It also provides transparency to users. VMotion is a key enabling technology for creating the dynamic, automated, and self- optimizing data center.
