Veritas Flex System 5340 NAS Storage System

The Veritas Flex 5340 is an Information-Defined appliance that delivers a range of solutions on-demand including data protection and tiering to public and private clouds. The Flex appliance simplifies IT by combining multiple on-demand data protection application instances into a single, integrated solution. Organizations often must support multiple deployments of servers for backup, data reduction and cloud tiering to meet differing requirements from multiple business and functional organizations. The Flex Appliance, utilizing Information-Defined application instances, has the versatility to consolidate multiple Veritas NetBackupTM deployments into a single resilient, and scalable solution. With this architecture, a single Flex 5340 Appliance enables on-demand deployment and easy configuration of multiple NetBackup and NetBackup Cloud CatalystTM configurations-reducing costs and complexity.

VERITAS FLEX APPLIANCE HIGHLIGHTS

Improve data center efficiency.

Consolidating multiple NetBackup and NetBackup CloudCatalyst deployments on a Flex Appliance drastically reduces the number of server and storage devices requiring setup, management, maintenance, power, cooling, cabling and floor space-significantly reducing data center costs.

On-Demand response to rapidly changing business environment.

Rapidly deploy infrastructure by configuring application instances into a complete data protection solution. Build systems to meet the specific information needs of a department or business unit.

Easily connect to multiple clouds.

Use NetBackup CloudCatalyst application instances to send deduplicated data for long term retention to the Veritas Access 3340 LTR Appliance and public clouds.

Improve uptime with high availability.

High availability provides efficient use of hardware resources in normal operating conditions and higher uptime in case of failure. In a high availability configuration the Flex appliance distributes the application instances across two nodes. In the event of failure, the application instances can be restarted in the surviving node. The ability to relocate an application instance from one node to another allows for greater control and efficiency in managing preventive maintenance.

Proactive monitoring with Veritas AutoSupport.

Monitors key hardware components and notifies the administrator of fault events.
