So with software that runs in a server/client mode if clients are trying to save data when the server is not available due to it rebooting, how does data loss not occur?

 

Data loss of written data does not occur.  In flight transactions could be lost (depending on your server software and how it writes and acknowledges data).

 

In a previous environment I had 3 esx hosts connected to a san.  Even if a host went down the vm's did not have to reboot because of vmotion.  It does not sound like vsa is the equivalent of using a physical san environment.

Your understanding of the previous environment is incorrect.  If a host goes down, the VMs on it MUST reboot, period.  The VSA is not equal to a physical array, but in this case the bhavior is not different.
