InfoScale is now available on Linux, Windows and UNIX. Detailed information on supported platforms is available at Veritas Enterprise Products and Platforms Matrix

  1. InfoScale product family licensing is metered on a per core basis for Windows, Linux, and Unix. For the UNIX platforms, server tier licensing continues to be an option for licensing InfoScale products. The InfoScale Entitlement Calculator can be used to estimate InfoScale entitlements for current customers. The SPVU meter used by the earlier Storage Foundation High Availability family is not applicable.
  2. InfoScale is also introducing subscription licensing (in addition to perpetual licensing). This gives customers greater financial flexibility and the option to procure InfoScale in a more cloud-oriented manner. Subscription durations of 12, 24 and 36 months are offered.
