Storage Foundation includes Veritas File System (VxFS) and Veritas Volume Manager (VxVM) with various feature levels.

Veritas File System is a high-performance journaling file system that provides easy management and quick-recovery for applications. Veritas File System delivers scalable performance, continuous availability, increased I/O throughput, and structural integrity.

Veritas Volume Manager removes the physical limitations of disk storage. You can configure, share, manage, and optimize storage I/O performance online without interrupting data availability. Veritas Volume Manager also provides easy-to-use, online storage management tools to reduce downtime.

VxFS and VxVM are a part of all Veritas InfoScale products. Do not install or update VxFS or VxVM as individual components.

Storage Foundation Basic supports all Storage Foundation Standard features, however, there are deployment and technical support limitations.
