Symantec's Dan Lamorena, Senior Product Marketing Manager, and Eric Hennessey, Director, Technical Product Management, continue their introduction of Veritas Cluster Server One and further explain its value in providing high availability in a multi-tiered, multi-platform application environment.
Eric: Another critical element of Veritas Cluster Server One (VCS One) is the ability to manage virtualized environments such as VMware, Solaris Containers and LDOMs, IBM mPars, and others. Most of these platforms have their own "high availability (HA)" solutions; however, these solutions don't have some of the enterprise-ready features that customers require like rich application monitoring and failover. Further, these HA solutions only work on that particular platform and most IT organizations have a mix of Windows, Unix, and server virtualization in their data centers. This means that the IT organization has different tools on different platforms leading to extra personnel and training costs to manage the entire HA infrastructure.
My team has been diligently working over the past few months to produce what I believe is the best endpoint security solution on the market. I would like to take the opportunity to share some of the latest results of what the team has accomplished.
Maintenance Release 3 (MR3) shipped to manufacturing just a few days ago. Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP) has come a long way since the initial release. In this release, we focused on improving the overall performance of both the management server and client. This week we’ll take a look at the improvements that have been made to the client and then I’ll follow this up with some of the enhancements we made on the management server.
Although considerable improvements have been made to each release, the goal for MR3 was to improve the performance to exceed that of previous versions of SEP, SAV and that of our competitors. As you can see from the charts below, MR3 has improved the boot time dramatically.
