NetBackup with SFHA Solutions

Process your data off-host to avoid performance loss to your production hosts by using SFHA Solutions volume snapshots.

FlashSnap

Optimize copies of your production database for test, decision modeling, and development purposes by using SFHA Solutions point-in-time copy methods.

FlashSnap

Make file level point-in-time snapshots using SFHA Solutions space-optimized FileSnap when you need finer granualarity for your point-in-time copies than file systems or volumes. You can use FileSnap for cloning virtual machines.

FileSnap

Maximize your storage utilization using SFHA Solutions SmartTier to move data to storage tiers based on age, priority, and access rate criteria.

See About SmartTier.

SmartTier

Maximize storage utilization for data redundancy, high availability, and disaster recovery, without physically shared storage.

Flexible Storage Sharing

Improve your data efficiency on solid state drives (SSDs) through I/O caching using advanced, customizable hueristics to determine which data to cache and how that data gets removed from the cache.

SmartIO read caching for applications running on VxVM volumes

SmartIO read caching for applications running on VxFS file systems

SmartIO write caching for applications running on VxFS file systems

SmartIO caching for databases on VxFS file systems

SmartIO caching for databases on VxVM volumes

SmartIO write-back caching for databases is not supported on SFRAC

See the Veritas InfoScale 7.3 SmartIO for Solid-State Drives Solutions Guide.

Plan a maintenance of virtual machines in a vSphere environment for a planned failover and recovery of application during unplanned failure using the Just In Time Availability solution.

Just In Time Availability solution

Improve the native and optimized format of your storage devices using the Veritas InfoScale solution which provides support with the advanced format or 4K (4096 bytes) sector devices (formatted with 4KB) in storage environments.

Veritas InfoScale 4K sector device support solution

Multiple parallel applications in a data warehouse that require flexible sharing of data such as ETL pipeline, where output of one stage becomes input for the next stage. (for example, accounting system needs to combine data from different applications such as sales, payroll and purchasing)
