Veritas Storage Foundation Cluster File System
| Veritas Storage Foundation Cluster File System is the cornerstone of a highly available environment, delivering faster recovery for business-critical applications –– with reduced complexity and costs. Compared to traditional single-instance file system implementations, Cluster File System significantly reduces application downtime and improves data access. Because multiple servers share the same storage resources, the length of time it takes to bring storage online is drastically reduced when an application fails. Its high performance file system spans heterogeneous servers to provide concurrent access to data and enables faster failover of applications and databases, such as Oracle, SAP or Tibco. | Trialware Purchasing Data Sheet (PDF) |
Key Features
- Centralized management of file systems and cluster volumes provides operational efficiency and maximum uptime
- Clustered ISCI provides scalable performance for block storage over IP.
- Volume asymmetry helps with ease of use and provides resiliency
Key Benefits
- Improves application performance and scalability—Get parallel processing and add servers dynamically to improve service levels and performance. Cluster File System scales performance linearly by up to 64 servers.
- Minimizes application downtime—Because data is available to all servers at all times, failover is simply limited to the time it takes the application to restart. For Oracle RAC, get sub-minute recovery at a fraction of the cost and complexity. Get higher availability for Linux and Unix environments.
- Reduces costs with storage consolidation—Mix and match heterogeneous storage resources, enabling storage consolidation.
- Perform online storage migrations—Move application data non-disruptively to support changing business and operational requirements, regardless of storage or platform.
