Sanbolic product suites

The product suites are easily installed using a single installer, and customers can easily upgrade feature sets by purchasing a new license key.

This product suite also includes 4 licenses per host server for virtual instances of Windows —enabling guest servers running Windows apps to use centrally managed iSCSI volumes for shared access to application data. It also provides application clustering for Microsoft SQL Server and central configuration and management of Windows file shares across multiple servers.
