VERITAS Software Corporation has announced a new version of VERITAS File System, the Company`s enterprise-class, quick-recovery journaling file system. Version 3.4 VERITAS File System increases availability of mission-critical data by providing a foundation for high-availability environments. With its journaling file system, Version 3.4 of VERITAS File System allows customers to conduct business without interruption, through quicker recovery time from system crashes.
"Customers are deploying storage infrastructure solutions in order to increase their application uptime and data availability requirements," says Nick van Noordwyk, regional director, Middle East and Africa at VERITAS Software. "The improvements in fail-over and recovery time provided by this new release of VERITAS File System enable our customers to move toward the elusive fifth-nine of data availability."
Version 3.4 of VERITAS File System offers a powerful set of features designed to increase data availability. Parallel file system checks improve boot times and increase availability whenever multiple file systems are run. Also, forced unmount support allows for the recovery of mounts after a cross-mounted system fails, thus reducing the recoverability time for enterprise file systems in data centre environments. Additional features include the ability to disable access time updates. This feature speeds up "read mostly" file system access by eliminating disk-write traffic.

VERITAS File System
VERITAS File System is a quick-recovery file system that is deployed in more than 80 percent of the world`s largest companies. VERITAS File System provides fast recovery following a system crash or reboot. The system completes a file-system check in seconds, regardless of file system size. The product supports VERITAS Storage Checkpoint, enabling "point-in-time" snapshots of file-system data, which is utilised by VERITAS Database Edition and VERITAS NetBackup to provide a robust, high-availability solution. In addition, working in conjunction with VERITAS Volume Manager, File System forms the foundation for other, value-added technologies, including storage area networks, clustering and fail-over, backup and hierarchical storage.
