VERITAS Storage Foundation software is heterogeneous and does not lock administrators into selecting a single brand of storage array so off-host backup or development/quality assurance servers need not consume the same high performance, high cost storage as.
Veritas Storage Manager
Veritas Storage Foundation (VSF[1]), previously known as Veritas Foundation Suite, is a computer software product made by Veritas Software that combines Veritas Volume Manager (VxVM) and Veritas File System (VxFS) to provide online-storage management. Symantec Corporation developed and maintained VSF until January 29, 2016, at which point Veritas and Symantec separated. The latest product version, 7.0, was re-branded as 'Veritas InfoScale 7.0'.
Veritas Storage Foundation provides:
- Dynamic storage tiering (DST)
- Dynamic multipathing (DMP)
- RAID support

Symantec Corp. has released a free version of its Veritas Storage Foundation product, designed to entice enterprise customers into installing the storage management software on servers running outside of the data center.
Symantec unveiled the software, called Veritas Storage Foundation Basic, Tuesday in conjunction with the Symantec Vision 2006 conference, which is being held this week in San Francisco.
Storage Foundation is often used on very large servers running databases, but the software is far less commonly used on smaller systems like file servers or Web servers.
With a free product, Symantec is hoping to broaden the appeal of its software, said Kris Hagerman, senior vice president of Symantec's Data Center Management group.
'We want to allow customers to have the same kind of benefits they get largely on their mission-critical servers and apply that to every single server in their data center,' he said.
Customers can download Storage Foundation Basic as many times as they like, but they can use the free version only on small servers.Those who want to use the product on servers with more than two processors, or on servers that host more than four file systems or hard-drive partitions, will have to pay, Hagerman said.
For those who use the free product, support contracts can be purchased starting at $98 per CPU per year.
The free software comes as Symantec is beta-testing a new 5.0 version of its Storage Foundation software suite, which it expects to ship in July.
The update will include improvements in the way the Storage Foundation moves information onto different types of storage devices -- a process called dynamic storage tiering -- as well as performance and data replication advancements.
But according to Hagerman, the most interesting component of the 5.0 product will be the Storage Foundation Management Server, which will allow administrators to view and make changes to the storage on many different Storage Foundation servers.
The Management Server is an interesting enhancement, said Bradley Bishop, a senior software engineer with the Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE). The exchange has more than 600TB of data on hundreds of servers running the Solaris, AIX, HP-UX and Linux operating systems. With this new software, CBOE can manage its large number of Storage Foundation systems using an SNMP management platform like BMC Software Inc.' s Patrol.
'We can manage all of the elements on the Storage Foundation Suite from one plane of glass,' Bishop said.
CBOE is also interested in using the free version of Storage Foundation on systems like Web servers, Bishop said. 'We'll be able to deploy this across our whole computing area,' he said. 'For us to be able to support this across hundreds of thousands of nodes makes it attractive.'
