VERITAS Storage Foundation Standard HA ( v. 6.0 ) - Crossgrade License

VERITAS Storage Foundation from Symantec provides a complete solution for heterogeneous online storage management. It 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. Unlike point solutions, Storage Foundation enables IT organizations to manage their storage infrastructure in a centralized consistent fashion. With advanced features such as centralized storage management, online configuration and administration, Dynamic Storage Tiering, Dynamic Multi-pathing, data migration, and local and remote replication, Storage Foundation enables organizations to reduce operational costs and capital expenditures across the data center.

HA (high availability) version of VERITAS Storage Foundation products include VERITAS Cluster Server to automatically detect and recover from database or system failures. The HA version utilizes a specific, intelligent agent that has been optimized for each database or application. The agent provides proactive monitoring and management of multi-node environments and enables automatic, policy-based failover. When a system or database failure is detected, all running instances are gracefully shut down before restarting the entire database, file system, or application on a separate healthy server. With the HA version, file systems, databases and applications can remain online at all times.
