  15. Internet Typical 3-Tier Architecture Load balancing switch Web servers NFS server Database server

  16. What are Editions? • Integrated storage management solutions optimized for specific application areas • Faster access to data • Easier management of increasing data • Continuous availability (24x7) of mission-critical data • Database Editions • File Server Edition New

  17. VERITAS File Server Edition 5.0 NFS/CIFS File Server Edition Samba File Server Edition/HA QuickLog VCS VERITAS File System File Server Agents VERITAS Volume Manager

  18. Product Overview • Superior performance on commodity hardware • PC connectivity • High Availability version provides seamless failover of NFS/CIFS services • On-line administration virtually eliminates maintenance downtime • Snapshot backups • Resizing of file systems • Storage layout changes (e.g., add mirror) • Protection from disk failures with fault-tolerant storage options(mirroring, mirroring+striping, RAID-5)

  19. File Server Edition • Enhanced Performance • QuickLog significantly improves performance • Better performance than UFS by as much as ten times • Improved Management • Flexible storage configuration management • Fully automated fault management Performance Availability Recoverability Manageability

  20. File Server Edition • High Availability • Comprehensive fault monitoring and recovery • Increased data reliability and availability for mission-critical NFS/CIFS and messaging servers • Automated failover for Windows and NT clients • File Server Edition clusters (up to 32 nodes) • On-line administration • Fast file system recovery

  21. Consolidation Server CIFS environment - Windows workstations & desktops NFS environment - UNIX workstations SPARC Solaris server with VERITAS File Server Edition Transparent file and print sharing for NFS and CIFS

  22. Samba • Open source software widely used for PC connectivity • Solaris servers can serve both UNIX and Windows clients in mixed environments • Allows Windows and UNIX clients to share file, naming, authentication and print services transparently • VERITAS provides full technical support • Reduces complexity, administrative costs and overall total cost of ownership

  23. Why Samba? • Developed by UNIX developers that understand the UNIX and NT environments • Since it is open source there are at least 200 developers reverse engineering SMB • The Samba team is dynamic, usually finding bugs even before other users find them • Most of the Samba developers use it themselves. Many solutions and tools were developed based on their own needs (like printer, migrating users, etc..) • The Samba team are the most experienced CIFS/SMB developers. Andrew Tridgel has worked on it for more than 7 years

  24. File Server Edition Performance SPEC SFS benchmark results: • VERITAS File Server Edition 5.0 boosts performance by as much as: • 110% in NFS environments • 10 times in messaging environments VERITAS Outperforms UFS 2500 2000 Throughput (Operations/Sec) 1500 110% performance boost 1000 500 0 UFS 32-bit UFS with File Server Logging 32-bit Edition Postmark benchmark results: VERITAS Outperforms UFS 12 10 8 Throughput (Transactions/Sec) 10 times faster performance 6 4 2 0 UFS 32-bit UFS Logging 32-bit File Server Edition
