Veritas Access 3340 NAS/DAS Storage System

The Veritas Access 3340 NAS/DAS Storage System is a versatile, high-performance appliance purpose-built to manage unstructured data across NAS and DAS environments. Engineered for efficiency and scalability, this storage solution delivers reliable data management, flexible deployment options, and cost-conscious storage economics for modern enterprises. From media workflows and content repositories to backups and analytics pipelines, the 3340 provides a unified platform that simplifies governance, accelerates data access, and strengthens protection across on-premises facilities and hybrid cloud configurations. In a world where data volumes grow relentlessly, the Veritas Access 3340 empowers organizations to consolidate workloads, optimize storage utilization, and respond rapidly to evolving business needs with confidence.

• Unified NAS and DAS storage - A single, versatile platform that supports multiple data access methods, including NFS, SMB, and iSCSI, enabling seamless collaboration across teams. This unified approach reduces data silos, streamlines management, and delivers a consistent data governance model across on-premises and edge environments.
• High-performance, scalable throughput - Designed to handle demanding workloads with robust I/O capabilities, the 3340 delivers exceptional throughput and low latency for media production, virtualized environments, backups, and analytics. Its architecture scales with your data growth, allowing capacity expansion without compromising performance.
• Advanced data management - Policy-driven automation, tiering to object storage, and space-efficient techniques help maximize usable capacity. Inline deduplication and compression options reduce storage footprint, while automated lifecycle rules optimize cost and ensure data resides on the most appropriate tier for access patterns and retention.
• Comprehensive data protection - Built-in protection features include snapshots, replication for disaster recovery, and robust security controls. These capabilities help safeguard critical information against data loss and ransomware, while enabling rapid recovery to minimize downtime.
• Hybrid cloud readiness - Seamless integration with cloud and object storage ecosystems enables policy-based tiering to public cloud or on-premises object stores. This flexibility supports DR planning, long-term archiving, and scalable backup strategies without locking you into a single infrastructure.

How to install Veritas Access 3340 NAS/DAS Storage System

• Prepare and rack the appliance in a suitable data center or server room. Verify power, cooling, and physical security requirements are met before installation.
• Connect the management network and all required data interfaces (NFS, SMB, iSCSI, and any object storage gateways as configured). Ensure network settings (IP address, DNS, NTP) are correct for reliable operation.
• Power on the system and access the web-based management interface. Create an administrative account with strong credentials and review initial system health checks.
• Configure storage pools and volumes according to your workload profiles. Establish the appropriate RAID levels or equivalent data protection schemes, allocate capacity for NAS and DAS domains, and set growth policies.
• Set up multi-protocol data access (NFS/SMB/iSCSI) and define share points or exported volumes. Apply access controls, quotas, and security policies to ensure compliant, controlled data access across teams.
• Enable data protection services such as snapshots and replication, and configure backup/DR workflows. If using hybrid cloud, enable policy-based tiering to the chosen object storage or cloud target.
• Perform data migration from existing storage, validate data integrity, and conduct baseline performance and resilience tests. Schedule regular maintenance windows and implement monitoring alerts for proactive management.
• Document the configuration for IT teams and ensure ongoing training for storage administrators to maximize utilization and minimize operational risk.
