What is SANPoint Foundation Suite HA?
SANPoint Foundation Suite HA: How does
it work?
Target Markets
Summary
Data Management Challenges
Volume of data generated by each new major
application has expanded exponentially
Need to be assured that data is protected,
recoverable and always available
Everyone in the enterprise needs information
access to perform their jobs
Disparate, non-integrated
computing platforms need
to share information
IT Challenges/Trends
Managing data with fewer IT resources
Managing hardware and software changes on
a daily basis
Delivering timing system and application
performance
Companies are approaching performance and
scalability limits with existing infrastructure
High Availability Trends
Storage Area Networks (SANs)
• Centralized management
• Provides scalable growth to meet increasing storage
demands
• Reduces administrative overhead
• Increases application availability
• Off-host backup
• Storage and server consolidation
Clustered Environments
• Ideal for fast application failover in the event of hardware
failure
• Offers load balancing to maximize compute power throughout
the cluster

Moving from host to SAN-based data
Today’s data is host-based, even if stored in
SAN-based storage
Moving control of that data from host to
host exacts an unacceptable penalty
SAN-aware data storage will enable:
•
•
•
•
Improved HA architectures
Framework for existing applications
Infrastructure for new parallel applications
Simplified content/media serving
VERITAS is introducing a new solution for
SAN data sharing
Introducing: VERITAS SANPoint
Foundation Suite™ HA
SANPoint Foundation Suite HA

eBusiness Infrastructure
Business Problems
eBusinesses require rapid deployment and
provisioning of applications:
• Capacity on demand business models
• CNN Election Night
Administrative costs high
•
•
•
•
Moving data
Maintaining software images
Stale data, content, binaries
Application load balancing
The Solution
Provide a data virtualization layer that meets
eBusiness needs
• Quick and non-disruptive migration
• Data
• Storage
• Lower admin costs
• Don’t move data
• Don’t install SW
• Simple load balancing
Increase manageability due to flexible deployment
of multiple apps
Content management
• File sharing
eBusiness: Web Servers
(Read-mostly)
Shared nothing
environment:
• Web database is replicated on
two disks - one for each web
server
• Double the disk space; regular
copy operations required
• Alternative - NFS server
