1. | Introducing VERITAS Foundation Suite for AIX By: KyeongWon Jeong; Anita Govindjee; Fred Sherman; Jason Littin; Shona Robertson Publisher: IBM Redbooks Publication Date: 04-NOV-2002 Insert Date: 12-NOV-2012 Slots: 1.0 | Overview: Introducing VERITAS Foundation Suite for AIX VERITAS Software products, such as VERITAS Volume Manager (VxVM)
and VERITAS File System (VxFS), are popular on other UNIX
platforms, and VERITAS announced these products for AIX in the
early of May 2002. VERITAS Foundation Suite for AIX includes
VERITAS Volume Manager for AIX and VERITAS File System for AIX.
These products will be useful for people who are familiar with the
same products on other UNIX platforms since VERITAS Foundation
Suite for AIX provides a similar environment for them. That means
they can use their same skills and knowledge in the AIX
environment.
