In distributed client/server environments, users demand that databases, mission-critical applications and other resources be continuously available and safe from the damage caused by disk failures. Traditional disk storage management is a labor-intensive process, often requiring machines to be taken offline for hours at a time - disabling user access to data and requiring tedious, manual intervention by system administrators. VERITAS Volume Manager brings sophisticated disk storage management technology to the Windows platform. By creating virtual storage devices from physical disks and disk arrays, Volume Manager removes the physical limitations of disk storage so you can configure, share and manage storage for optimal results. Volume Manager provides easy-to-use, online storage management for enterprise computing and Storage Area Network (SAN) environments.
Volume Manager provides a domain wide view of disk storage resources for centralized storage management. The easy-to-use interface simplifies disk administration tasks, such as adding or moving storage resources or data. Volume Manager can configure and monitor leading hardware RAID devices and manage shared storage in supported clustering configurations (e.g., VERITAS Cluster Server).
With Volume Manager, you can optimize the performance of existing storage based on usage patterns. Volume Manager identifies storage bottlenecks and allows you to migrate data to other devices, even while applications and their data remain online and available. Use Volume Manager to balance I/O loads and to stripe data across multiple storage devices and subsystems for maximum throughput.
You can use Volume Manager to protect critical applications by mirroring data across different disk devices and subsystems, including RAID devices. And because you can perform basic administrative tasks while the data is online and available, Volume Manager reduces planned downtime as well.
