DESCRIPTION

VERITAS Storage Foundation for Sybase combines the strengths of the core VERITAS technology products with database-specific enhancements to offer unrivaled performance, availability, and manageability for Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise.

VERITAS offers two Storage Foundation products:

VERITAS Storage Foundation for Sybase includes the following components:

VERITAS Volume Manager (VxVM)
A disk management subsystem that supports disk striping, disk mirroring, and simplified disk management for improved data availability and superior performance.
VERITAS File System (VxFS)
A high-peformance, fast-recovery file system that is optimized for business critical database applications and data-intensive workloads. VxFS offers online administration, letting you perform most frequently scheduled maintenance (including online backup, resizing, and file system changes) without interrupting data or system availability. VxFS also provides support for large file systems (up to 8 exabytes). VERITAS File System offers performance-enhancing features that are of particular interest in a database envirnoment:
  • VERITAS Quick I/O is a VxFS feature that improves the throughput for Sybase databases built on VERITAS file systems. Quick I/O delivers raw device performance to databases run on VxFS, providing the administrative advantages of using file systems without the performance penalties.
  • VERITAS Cached Quick I/O further enhances database performance by leveraging large system memory to selectively buffer the frequently accessed data.
  • VERITAS Enterprise Administrator (VEA) is the infrastructure that allows you to access VERITAS Storage Foundation for Sybase, VERITAS Volume Manager, and VERITAS File System information and features through the GUI. You can also use the command line interface to perform these tasks.
  • An optional High Availability (HA) version of VERITAS Storage Foundation for Sybase, which includes VERITAS Cluster Server, is available for customers who have high system-availability requirements.
