Support for cloud deployments using Amazon Web Services (AWS)

(Linux only)

Veritas InfoScale can now be deployed in cloud environments using Amazon Web Services (AWS).

Veritas' software-defined storage and resiliency solution offers enterprise-grade capabilities for organizations looking to deploy and run their top tier applications in cloud environments.

Veritas InfoScale deployments in the cloud offer the following capabilities:

FSS in AWS cloud environments

Veritas InfoScale supports flexible storage sharing in AWS cloud environments for a cluster located within the same region. The nodes in the cluster may be located within the same Availability Zone or across Availability Zones. FSS leverages Amazon's block storage system called the Elastic Block Store (EBS) to provide shared storage capability. FSS in AWS environments is supported only with LLT over UDP.

For more information, see the Storage Foundation Cluster File System High Availability Administrator's Guide.

SmartIO in AWS cloud environments

In AWS environments, SmartIO can be configured on Amazon instance store SSDs for better performance. Instance store SSDs are directly attached block device storage in the AWS cloud . As in an on premise clustered environment, the SmartIO cache is local to each node in the cluster.
