Veritas Access 3340 NAS/DAS Storage System

Designed for modern enterprises facing rapid growth in unstructured data, the Veritas Access 3340 NAS/DAS Storage System is a software-defined appliance that decouples data services from the underlying hardware. This architectural approach enables organizations to deploy, manage, and scale high-capacity workloads with unprecedented simplicity and consistency. With a focus on reliability, performance, and operational efficiency, the 3340 provides a unified platform for File, Block, and Object access, enabling teams to consolidate disparate storage silos into a single data fabric. By leveraging policy-driven automation, administrators can define data placement, tiering, retention, and protection rules that automatically adapt to changing workloads and business requirements. This reduces manual fiddling with storage configurations and accelerates time-to-value for new projects. The result is a storage system that not only stores data but also governs it, turning raw unstructured content into accessible, governed, and actionable information. The 3340 is engineered to excel in environments where unstructured data dominates—think media libraries, large-scale content repositories, scientific datasets, backups, and user-generated content. It supports standard file protocols (NFS, SMB) for seamless file sharing and modern object interfaces for scalable, cloud-ready access, enabling developers and applications to interact with data in the way that makes the most sense for their workloads. This flexibility helps IT teams deliver predictable performance under diverse conditions: analytics queries over petabytes of data, streaming workloads for video and media, or collaboration across global teams. The software-defined nature of Veritas Access 3340 means you can deploy it on commodity hardware or in appliance form with redundant components, simplifying procurement while maintaining high availability. In addition, the platform excels at data protection: policy-based snapshots, replication, encryption at rest, and role-based access control help safeguard sensitive information and ensure regulatory compliance across industries such as finance, healthcare, media, and manufacturing. From a management perspective, the 3340 provides an intuitive, centralized interface that gives administrators end-to-end visibility into storage utilization, health, and performance. Dashboards and reporting simplify capacity planning, fault isolation, and SLA tracking, while automated data placement and tiering reduce costs by automatically moving colder data to more cost-effective storage tiers. The platform also supports hybrid deployments, enabling seamless movement of data between on-premises storage and cloud environments for archival, DR, or analytics workloads. By delivering a single, scalable data fabric, the Veritas Access 3340 helps organizations accelerate digital transformation initiatives, improve data governance, and unlock insights buried in unstructured content. With enterprise-grade security, flexible deployment models, and robust integration with backup and disaster recovery ecosystems, this storage system is positioned to meet the evolving needs of today’s data-centric enterprises. In short, Veritas Access 3340 NAS/DAS Storage System is not just a storage appliance; it’s a strategic asset that turns raw data into reliable information, enabling faster decision making, improved collaboration, and stronger protection in a world where data growth never stops.
