Oracle and Symantec have announced certification of Veritas data centre software with Oracle Enterprise Linux, which will help organisations running Symantec on Linux reduce deployment time and implementation costs.

With this latest certification, Oracle Unbreakable Linux support customers deploying Veritas solutions with Oracle Enterprise Linux will receive enterprise-quality support from both vendors.

The Oracle Unbreakable Linux support program provides enterprises with global support for Linux and was developed in response to customer demand for true enterprise-quality Linux support and the need to significantly reduce IT infrastructure costs.

The certification spans the following six Veritas data centre software products: Veritas Storage Foundation 5.0; Veritas Storage Foundation for Oracle 5.0; Veritas Storage Foundation Cluster File System 5.0; Veritas Cluster Server 5.0, Veritas NetBackup 6.0 Client and Veritas i³.

Said Wim Coekaerts, vice president, Linux Engineering, Oracle, "Enterprise customers adopting Linux want to leverage the enterprise storage management and high availability processes and standards that are mainstays in their UNIX environments. As a result of our work with Symantec, we are making it easier for customers to deploy Symantec solutions with Oracle Enterprise Linux."

Symantec also worked with Oracle to certify Veritas Storage Foundation Cluster File System with Oracle Real Application Clusters on Oracle Enterprise Linux, Red Hat and SUSE. This will offer Oracle Real Application Clusters customers running Linux the option to deploy Symantec's scalable file system and enterprise storage management solution.
