Veritas Storage Foundation

Veritas Storage Foundation by Symantec includes Veritas File System (VxFS) and
Veritas Volume Manager (VxVM) with various feature levels.

Veritas File System is a high performance journaling file system that provides
easy management and quick-recovery for applications. Veritas File System delivers
scalable performance, continuous availability, increased I/O throughput, and
structural integrity.

Veritas Volume Manager removes the physical limitations of disk storage. You
can configure, share, manage, and optimize storage I/O performance online
without interrupting data availability. Veritas Volume Manager also provides
easy-to-use, online storage management tools to reduce downtime.

Veritas File System (VxFS) and Veritas Volume Manager (VxVM) are included in
all Veritas Storage Foundation products. If you have purchased a Veritas Storage
Foundation product, VxFS and VxVM are installed and updated as part of that
product. Do not install or update VxFS or VxVM as individual components.

Storage Foundation includes the dynamic multi-pathing functionality.
