About this product

Veritas Storage Foundation Cluster File System by Symantec extends Veritas File System and Veritas Volume Manager to support shared data in a Storage Area Network (SAN) environment. Using Storage Foundation Cluster File System, multiple servers can concurrently access shared storage and files transparently to applications.

Storage Foundation Cluster File System HA adds the failover functionality of Veritas Cluster Server, which can protect everything from a single critical database instance to very large multiple-application clusters in networked environments. Veritas Storage Foundation Cluster File System also provides increased automation and intelligent management of availability and performance.

The Veritas Volume Replicator feature, which replicates data to remote locations over an IP network, can also be licensed with this product.
