HP introduces HP Serviceguard Storage Management Suite, with software availability in Q4CY05. Here's what's exciting about this development:

• Integration with VERITAS Storage Foundation file system and volume management from Symantec
• Easy management with cluster file system capabilities for scale-out clustering
• Superior Oracle database performance for file-based environments
• Pre-integrated and quick to deploy with HP Implementation Services
• Comprehensive support services available worldwide with a single point of contact
• Easy transition to HP-UX 11i from other platforms running VxFS

HP Serviceguard clustering has more deployments worldwide than any other vendors' clusters[1]. Now, we wonder why you'd go anywhere else for high availability you can rely on.
