Veritas Software overhauls storage software Linda Rosencrance Veritas Software Corp. today released Storage Foundation 4.0, the latest version of its storage management and virtualization software that allows companies to deploy utility computing across storage, servers and applications. "We've bundled Volume Manager and File System into a storage foundation -- a suite of these two products. We wanted to increase storage utilization and increase administrative productivity," said Marty Ward, director of product marketing at Mountain View, Calif.-based Veritas. "This is the most significant release of this storage foundation product since the initial release in 1992." Ward said the product can increase storage utilization through online file migration, automatically moving less-important data to lower-cost storage arrays without disrupting the user. With the portable data containers feature, data can be shared between servers with different operating systems, he said. smallbusiness.sbc.yahoo.com ------------- "We have a lot of databases -- including one of largest Oracle accounts receivable in the world -- and we're looking to take some of the archival data that's in this database and migrate it off to some other storage, but still leaving it online," said Aaron Huslage, senior systems administrator at CNF Service Co. in Palo Alto, Calif. "Storage foundation 4.0 let's us do that. "We're looking to move our archived data from high-end enterprise storage like Hitachi arrays to lower-end Network Appliance NearStor systems," he said. "It will lower our storage costs about 20% or 30%." ------------
