Veritas improves EMC databases

Veritas has announced the immediate availability of Veritas Storage Extension for EMC, which will provide IT administrators with greater visibility over the performance of their EMC storage systems.

This product will utilize EMC's open Application Programme Interface to link Veritas Indepth application performance management software with EMC's systems. Veritas Indepth software optimises the performance of Oracle, SQL Server and DV2 UDB database servers running on a wider variety of storage platforms from companies such as EMC, Hewlett-Packard, Hitachi and IBM.

The configuration of Veritas Storage Extension is designed to enhance application performance, increase storage efficiency, reduce management and ultimately help enable a lower total cost of ownership. Corey Ferengul, Vice President with the Meta Group said: "Optimising application and database performance can produce tremendous dividends for organisations by better leveraging the server and storage assets already in place.

"Users clearly require performance management solutions that span across a broad spectrum of storage and hardware platforms, databases and applications and provide linking data. This is an important capability for IT shops with heterogeneous environments and that is the vast majority of IT operations."

Robert Maness, senior director of product marketing added: "With Veritas Storage Extension and other components of the Veritas i3 APM software, IT managers will be able to optimise applications by rapidly detecting, diagnosing and enabling correction of performance problems by monitoring every transaction in real-time, from the end-user through the storage array.

"Veritas Storage Extension software provides another core building block designed to help companies manage the performance, capacity and reliability of their IT operations to meet the changing demands of the organisation - the fundamental promise of utility computing."
