Veritas Storage Foundation Standard vs Veritas Storage Foundation Enterprise

What's the difference in features with these two editions?

  • Veritas Storage Foundation Enterprise— Intended for
    enterprise environments, this version offers full
    functionality, including FlashSnap, SmartTier, deduplication, compression, thin provisioning
    optimization, and storage checkpoints

     

    Veritas Storage Foundation Standard—Intended for
    systems and workloads that need only some advanced
    features, this product offers File System and Volume
    Manager capabilities and includes database accelerators. It
    also includes advanced features such as SmartTier and
    compression.

     

    Veritas Storage Foundation Basic—Intended for smaller
    systems, this version is available at no cost and provides
    the same robust features as Veritas Storage Foundation
    Standard, but is designed for system workloads with no
    more than four volumes and/or four file systems per OS
    image, and/or two processors/sockets in a single physical
    system.

    Veritas Dynamic Storage Tiering (automatically assign data to different tiers of storage)
    Site Awareness (help when mirroring data across 2 sites)
