VERITAS is the Leader inHigh Availability Software

High Availability solutions enable serverapplications to quickly regain access tomission critical data after a failure or disasterin order of minutes or seconds

VERITAS is recognized by IDC , Gartner, and

Meta as the leading multi-platform providerof HA software Estimated to 2/3 market share on Solaris

VERITAS High Availability software is used byvirtually all major financial institutions, telcos, andxSPs worldwide on UNIX and Windows

TodayVERITAS reveals pervasive HighAvailability strategy that simplifies thedeployment of higher levels of availability in

the internet data center

The Internet Data Center Requires aMore Availability with Less Staff

e-business and the web have created a higher levelof expectation for data availability

Now must deliver continuous data availability as perceivedby employees, business partners, or external customers

In the old IT model, High Availability was deployed only ona few high end database servers

In the new environment, IT must

Deliver on high levels of availability on every server in thedata center

Ensure a high quality end user experience regardless of

systems crashes, internet avalanches, or network failures Deploy an inherently heterogeneous, multi-layered

environment from the Web server to Applications like CRMto Databases to Storage

with same or fewer IT staff!

VERITAS Unveals Vision ofEnabling Pervasive Deployment of HA

Extend deployment of High Availability beyond theback-end database server New software based load balancer that re-directs traffic

requests based on context

Prevents system crashes due to internet avalanches

Cheaper and more flexible than hardware specific solutions

Expanding partnerships with ISV partners for B2B and CRMapplications

Simple API enables ISVs to collaborate on VCS deploymentsfor more than just databases

Simplified Management of HA lowers barrier to

adoption Enable quick deployment and easy maintenance without

specialized training or service to enable HA on every server

Provides integrated tools to monitor and manage HighAvailability across all levels of the data center and multipledata center locations

VERITAS Announces Products forPervasive Deployment of HA

Extend deployment of High Availability beyond theback-end database server VERITAS Cluster Server Traffic Director

Software solution integrated with industry leading HA softwarethat is used to load balance across web and application (CRM,B2B) servers

Simplified Management of HA VERITAS Cluster Server Quickstart

Simple fixed configuration version for a pair of servers

Emphasis on simplified functionality and easy installationallows any IT admin to deploy HA without months ofspecialized training or consulting help

Enhanced Global Cluster Manager for Unix and NT

Integrated management of all layers of the internet data center

e.g. VCS for database servers , VCS Traffic Director for web andapplication servers , and VCS Quickstart for workgroup servers

Enables multi-site High Availability & Disaster Recovery by

integrating management data replication solutions fromVERITAS or leading array vendors such as EMC and Hitachi.

Contrast VERITAS HA vs EMC

EMC High Availability Utilities for EMC arrays only Solutions are complex and

require significantconsulting

Embedded, proprietary

data replication (SRDF)doesnt scale to longdistances or multiple sites

No application recoverysolutionsEMC referencesVERITAS to implement this

No solution tomanage HA across multipleweb, application, anddatabase server layers

VERITAS HA

HA for any application,any array, any server

Focus on simplifiedinstallation andmanagement

Host-based replicationworks well over anydistance and with mixedstorage arrays

VCS provides tunable

recovery times for anyapplication

HA management acrossall layers of internet datacenter and multiple sites.
