International Desk, Feb 16, 2006
Symantec Corp. recently announced that it is broadening its support of Sun Microsystems technologies to include the Solaris 10 Operating System (OS) on the AMD Opteron processor-based Sun Fire systems with its Veritas Storage Foundation, Veritas Cluster Server, and Veritas NetBackup client solutions.
Both companies are collaborating on joint marketing and sales initiatives highlighting the benefits of the two companies' solutions and the value they deliver to enterprise customers.
"This announcement is a significant milestone in the strategic collaboration between Symantec and Sun," said Niall Wall, vice president of business development and alliances, Symantec. "Now customers can use Symantec's market-leading storage management, availability, and data protection solutions running Sun's Solaris 10 OS on both x64 and SPARC platforms."
Stephen Borcich, vice president of partner marketing, Sun Microsystems, said, "With Symantec's support of the Solaris 10 OS on Sun Fire x64 servers, together we are bringing cost savings, seamless migration and flexibility and industry-leading functionality to a broader range of customers. Sun's long history of building innovative alliances with companies such as Symantec continue to be a driving force behind next-generation compute offerings."
Veritas Storage Foundation software now offers support for many of the latest features and enhancements included in the Solaris 10 OS, such as Solaris Containers, DTrace and new security functionality with Process Rights Management and Solaris Secure Execution.
As part of a data center availability solution, Veritas Cluster Server provides increased levels of data availability for applications, databases and servers as well as enhanced protection against downtime, whether planned or unplanned, over local, metropolitan, or wide area distances. In addition, Veritas Cluster Server protects all Solaris environments and fully supports high-availability solutions.
In the future, Veritas Volume Replicator will fully support Solaris/Opteron platforms, giving customers the ability to replicate and recover critical data regardless of the type of application or database, including Oracle RAC databases, over any distance.
Storage Foundation pricing will be by server tier and pricing will start at $400.
