Symantec has announced the launch of Veritas Cluster Server One (VCS One), a new high availability and disaster recovery platform for next generation data centers / centres. Symantec says that VCS One ‘moves beyond traditional clustering enabling IT managers to implement advanced services including active/active DR, multi-tier business application HA and scale-out control – increasing uptime and decreasing capital and operational costs for the business.’

Veritas Cluster Server One delivers a new, unique HA/DR architecture that dramatically simplifies the deployment and ongoing management of HA/DR services. The VCS One architecture is client-server based and highly scalable, initially supporting up to 256 nodes per cluster. It is non-intrusive and outside the operating system kernel – facilitating deployment and upgrades. VCS One also has a built-in resiliency against configuration changes that impact availability. It is policy-driven, with priorities, scheduling and dependency management to automate tasks and increase operator efficiency. Finally, Veritas Cluster Server One has server virtualization abstraction and control to deliver a common HA/DR operating model across the various virtual platforms in an enterprise data center / centre.

Pricing and availability
Veritas Cluster Server One is now generally available with estimated pricing starting at $995 per CPU.
