VERITAS Cluster Server ( v. 6.0 ) - Essential Support ( 1 year )

VERITAS Cluster Server is the clustering solution for reducing both planned and unplanned downtime. By monitoring the status of applications and automatically moving them to another server in the event of a fault, Cluster Server can dramatically increase the availability of an application or database. VERITAS Cluster Server can detect faults in an application and all its dependent components, including the associated database, operating system, network, and storage resources. When a failure is detected, Cluster Server gracefully shuts down the application, restarts it on an available server, connects it to the appropriate storage device, and resumes normal operations. Cluster Server can temporarily move applications to a standby server when routine maintenance such as upgrades or patches requires that the primary server be taken offline.

VERITAS Cluster Server provides off-the-shelf support for a wide range of applications, including, but not limited to, applications such as SAP, BEA, Siebel, Oracle Applications, Exchange, and PeopleSoft as well as enterprise-class databases such as Oracle, DB2, SQL Server, and Sybase. In addition, more agents are continually being developed to support upcoming new applications.
