Benchmark Results Demonstrate Real-Time Return on Investment
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Nov. 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- VERITAS Software Corporation (Nasdaq: VRTS - News), the leading storage software company, today announced that companies who use VERITAS storage software with Sun Solaris 9 experience 15 times faster computing performance and improved system reliability compared to those who simply run the native software provided with the operating system. Testing performed by the GiantLoop Testing and Certification (GTAC) Lab -- an independent testing facility for enterprise storage and networking technologies -- demonstrates that VERITAS Foundation Suite(TM), which combines a high performance file system and the industry's leading storage virtualization solution, makes data-intensive environments run faster on the Solaris 9 platform.

The GiantLoop benchmark also demonstrates that VERITAS Foundation Suite pays for itself in real-time by keeping critical systems online, so revenue-generating transactions are processed without interruption. This enhanced productivity is complemented by improved system reliability, showing that a Solaris system running VERITAS storage management software can restart seven times faster after a system failure.

"This benchmark makes it clear that the right storage management software yields significant cost savings and is a strategic investment in IT infrastructure," said Brenda Zawatski, vice president of product and solutions marketing, VERITAS Software. "These performance results demonstrate that organizations can save money using VERITAS Foundation Suite to optimize their Solaris environments, without additional investment in costly hardware."
GiantLoop performed the benchmark testing in its testing facilities in Waltham, Mass, using the PostMark file system benchmark. VERITAS Foundation Suite also performed faster than Solaris 9's native storage management tools in tests designed to increase stress on the processors, showing how well VERITAS software integrates with the operating environment and hardware.
VERITAS Foundation Suite includes the VERITAS File System(TM), VERITAS Volume Manager(TM) and other value-add features, and is available on Sun Solaris, HP-UX, IBM AIX, and Linux platforms. VERITAS Volume Manager is also available on Windows NT and Windows 2000. |
