Veritas Corp, Mountain View, California, is poised to introduce a Network File System edition of its VxServerSuite, claiming it will enhance the availability, performance and reliability of Solaris-based Network File System servers. It is available in a single-system configuration and as a two-way high availability configuration, VxServerSuite/HA Network File System edition. The latter enables system administrators to configure pairs of systems as failover clusters. Pricing for the single system starts at $2,500 and for the two-system from $11,000. Meantime, Unisys Corp has incorporated Veritas’s VxReliant clustering software into a product it is calling UClusters for stringing together up to four mid-range U6000-500 or 5400 Unix servers. It’s also offering Single Point Operation Center for Unix and Single Point Administration Center for personal computer local networks and desktops. The U 6000-500 is now available as a 10-way system.
