VERITAS Storage Foundation combines the industry-leading VERITAS Volume Manager™ and VERITAS File System™ to provide a complete solution for online storage management. With VERITAS Storage Foundation, physical disks can be grouped into logical volumes to improve disk utilization and eliminate storage-related downtime. In addition, VERITAS Storage Foundation gives administrators the flexibility to move data between different operating systems and storage arrays, balance I/O across multiple paths to improve performance, replicate data to remote sites for higher availability and move unimportant or out-of-date files to less expensive storage without changing the way users or applications access the files.

VERITAS Storage Foundation key features:

• Disk Virtualization - Groups physical disks together into logical disks that can be dynamically resized. Creates disk sizes that are most appropriate each application.
• Storage Provisioning Templates - Automatically provisions and grows storage based on user-defined templates. The templates stipulate the type of storage to be used, how it should be configured, where it should be located and a number of other parameters. This creates company-wide consistency, speeds up storage configuration and eliminates storage configuration errors.
• Dynamic Multipathing (DMP) - Balances I/O across all available paths between the server and the storage array to improve performance and availability.
• VERITAS Cluster Server - The HA (High Availability) version of Storage Foundation includes VERITAS Cluster Server for local and wide-area application availability.
• FlashSnap - Takes instant, space optimized snapshots of data for off-host processing and backup. Only synchronizes changed blocks for fast resynchronization.
