About the Veritas Access integration with OpenStack Cinder
Veritas Access Administrator's Guide
Cinder is a block storage service for OpenStack. Cinder provides the infrastructure for managing volumes in OpenStack. Cinder volumes provide persistent storage to guest virtual machines (known as instances) that manage OpenStack compute software.
Veritas Access is integrated with OpenStack Cinder, which provides the ability for OpenStack instances to use the storage hosted by Veritas Access.
