Storage Management White Papers

The Next Generation of Disk Management for Windows Platforms

Overview Together, VERITAS and Microsoft developed a disk- and volume-management framework for the Windows platform. On Windows 2000 and Windows Server 2003, the result of this collaboration is Windows Disk Management and the Logical Disk Manager (LDM) program, which provides logical volume management for Windows. This white paper provides information about Logical Volume Management which removes physical limitations of storage, enabling administrators to build higher-performance, more available storage configurations from existing disk storage and simplifying disk administration tasks for reduced cost of ownership.
