About Veritas Storage Foundation Cluster File System
Veritas Storage Foundation Cluster File System by Symantec extends Veritas File

to applications.

Veritas Cluster Server. This functionality can protect everything from a single
critical database instance to very large multiple-application clusters in networked
environments. Veritas Storage Foundation Cluster File System also provides
increased automation and intelligent management of availability and performance.

over an IP network, can also be licensed with this product.
