Move from standard storage protection to enterprise-grade HA/DR for DB2 with a crossgrade license designed for one server. VERITAS Storage Foundation v5.0 Enterprise HA/DR helps maintain availability and recovery discipline where database uptime matters most. The academic pricing tier makes this a practical option for institutions that need stronger continuity controls while staying within procurement constraints. This license is intended for organizations standardizing on Symantec’s buying program and looking to extend existing Storage Foundation deployments rather than replace them. The crossgrade path from VERITAS Storage Foundation Standard preserves prior investment while unlocking the enterprise HA/DR feature set for DB2 workloads. For teams responsible for database resilience, that means a cleaner upgrade motion, clearer licensing alignment, and a more defensible architecture for critical systems. Because this is a single-server license, it is straightforward to map to a specific production host, lab environment, or departmental database platform. That precision matters when you need to document entitlement, control spend, and avoid broad licensing overhead. For IT teams balancing uptime, compliance, and budget discipline, this SKU is built to justify the upgrade path rather than simply add software.
