Red Hat 4.0 and Suse Linux 9 based on Linux kernel 2.6 and running on Intel’s Intel’s Itanium and Xeon EM64T, and AMD’s Opteron 64-bit chips are now supported by versions 4.1 of Veritas Storage Foundation, Storage Foundation for Oracle RAC, Storage Foundation Cluster File System, Storage Foundation for Databases, Volume Replicator and Cluster Server.

The new software also supports Oracle 10g, Oracle 10g with Real Application Clusters – RAC – and DB2 databases running on Linux. Earlier this year Veritas promised co-synchronous releases of its software across multiple platforms, and Symantec said last week that this will happen in future.
