Veritas Storage Foundation from Symantec provides a complete tiered storage solution for heterogeneous online storage management. Based on the industry-leading Veritas Volume Manager and Veritas File System, this storage tiering solution provides a standard set of integrated tools to centrally manage explosive data growth, maximize storage hardware investments, provide data protection and adapt to changing business requirements.

Key Features

• Online storage management with heterogeneous operating system (Solaris, Linux, HP-UX and AIX) support and broad set of qualified storage devices and arrays.
• Veritas Operations Manager allows centralized management of diverse applications, servers and storage.
• Dynamic multi-pathing enables I/O to be efficiently spread across multiple paths for path failure protection and fast failover.

• Centralized management of volumes and file systems for DB2, Oracle, Sybase and MySQL databases.
• Optimize thin provisioning by migrating efficiently and non-disruptively to thin environments and then staying thin through automated storage reclamation.
