Built to consolidate NAS and DAS into a single, scalable storage fabric, the 3340 brings together high performance, robust reliability, and simplified administration so teams can focus on insights rather than infrastructure. Designed for data-intensive environments—from media and entertainment to healthcare, finance, and research—this system delivers predictable throughput, flexible deployment options, and comprehensive data protection that helps organizations safeguard information while driving faster decision-making. With a strong emphasis on policy-driven data placement, global namespace consistency, and seamless integration with Veritas software, the 3340 empowers IT to scale storage operations without sacrificing manageability or control. Whether you’re consolidating disparate storage silos, enabling cloud-enabled workflows, or pursuing a future-proof hybrid strategy, the Veritas Access 3340 NAS/DAS Storage System is purpose-built to simplify storage administration, accelerate data access, and unlock new levels of efficiency for unstructured data.

• Scales with your business: The Veritas Access 3340 uses a scalable, scale-out architecture that grows with you, expanding capacity and performance as data footprints increase. Multiple nodes work in concert to deliver consistent throughput, balanced load distribution, and seamless capacity expansion without downtime, helping you avoid forklift upgrades and preserve operational continuity.
• Software-defined storage with a unified management experience: Fully optimized for Veritas Access, this system provides a single pane of glass for policy-driven data placement, global namespace visibility, and centralized administration across all storage nodes. This integration simplifies workflows, reduces admin overhead, and enables rapid deployment of new workloads with standardized policies.
• Optimized for unstructured data: Engineered to handle large files, multimedia, and analytics data, the 3340 delivers high-throughput access and low-latency performance. Advanced metadata indexing, searchability, and flexible tiering ensure unstructured datasets are organized, accessible, and efficiently managed, even as they scale to petabytes.
• Enterprise-grade data protection and reliability: Built to minimize risk, the system offers snapshots, replication, and policy-based protection. These capabilities enable rapid recovery, disaster recovery readiness, and non-disruptive upgrades, so production workloads remain resilient during maintenance and growth cycles.
• Flexible deployment and smart management: Ideal for on-prem, edge, or hybrid deployments, the 3340 supports virtualization-ready environments and cloud integration. Automated management, intelligent tiering, and energy-efficient design help IT teams optimize cost, capacity, and power usage while maintaining optimal performance.

How to install Veritas Access 3340 NAS/DAS Storage System

• Step 1: Plan your deployment. Assess capacity, performance requirements, and the intended mix of NAS and DAS workloads. Map out a network topology that supports high-availability access, with redundant paths for data traffic and management interfaces. Verify compatibility with drives, expansion options, and firmware prerequisites to ensure a smooth installation experience.
• Step 2: Rack, power, and cabling. Unbox the appliance and mount it securely in a standard equipment rack. Connect power and network cables to the designated management and data ports, ensuring proper cooling and airflow. Label cables for future maintenance and keep a clean, organized rack environment to maximize reliability and serviceability.
• Step 3: Access the management interface. Power on the system and connect to the management IP using the browser-based administration console. Sign in with the default admin credentials, then immediately apply the latest firmware or software updates to ensure you have the newest security and performance enhancements.
• Step 4: License, configuration, and namespace setup. Apply the Veritas Access license, configure the management network settings (IP, DNS, NTP), and establish the global namespace. Define storage pools and allocate space across nodes, aligning with your capacity plan and data protection requirements. Set up policy-based placement rules to optimize data locality and access performance.
• Step 5: Attach clients, validate, and secure. Configure NAS protocols (SMB/NFS), access controls, and user quotas. Validate read/write operations across representative workloads to confirm performance targets, then enable backups and disaster recovery workflows. Implement ongoing monitoring, alerting, and routine maintenance tasks to preserve reliability and security.
