Keep Oracle RAC environments available when downtime is not an option. VERITAS Storage Foundation v.5.0 Enterprise HA/DR for Oracle RAC delivers a crossgrade path from Storage Foundation Standard for Oracle to a higher-resilience licensing tier for one server. It is positioned for academic purchasing under the Symantec Buying Program, giving institutions a practical way to extend storage availability and disaster recovery planning without replacing the underlying platform. This license is aimed at teams that need stronger continuity for critical Oracle workloads, where storage-layer protection and recovery readiness matter as much as application performance. The enterprise HA/DR edition is intended to support environments that cannot tolerate long service interruptions, making it a better fit than entry-level licensing when uptime and recovery objectives carry real operational cost. Because this is a crossgrade license, it is designed for organizations already using the standard Oracle edition and looking to move up with minimal friction. The result is a cleaner procurement path, a clearer upgrade story, and a licensing model that aligns with established academic buying programs.
