SF Sybase CE provides the following benefits:
Use of a generic clustered file system (CFS) technology or a local file system (VxFS) technology for storing and managing application installation binaries.
Support for file system-based management. product provides a generic clustered file system technology for storing and managing application data files as well as other application data.
Use of Cluster File System (CFS) for the application quorum device.
Support for a standardized approach toward application and database management. A single-vendor solution for the complete product software stack lets you devise a standardized approach toward application and database management. Further, administrators can apply existing expertise of Veritas technologies toward product.
Easy administration and monitoring of product clusters using Veritas Operations Manager.
Enhanced scalability and availability with access to multiple application instances per database in a cluster.
Prevention of data corruption in split-brain scenarios with robust SCSI-3 Persistent Reservation (PR) based I/O fencing.
Support for sharing all types of files, in addition to application database files, across nodes.
Increased availability and performance using Veritas Dynamic Multi-Pathing (DMP). DMP provides wide storage array support for protection from failures and performance bottlenecks in the Host Bus Adapters (HBAs) and Storage Area Network (SAN) switches.
Fast disaster recovery with minimal downtime and interruption to users. Users can transition from a local high availability site to a wide-area disaster recovery environment with primary and secondary sites. If a node fails, clients that are attached to the failed node can reconnect to a surviving node and resume access to the shared database. Recovery after failure in the product environment is far quicker than recovery for a failover database.
