Veritas Flex System 5340 HA NAS Storage System

The Veritas Flex System 5340 HA NAS Storage System is an Information-Defined appliance designed to transform how organizations manage and protect data across on-premises and hybrid environments. Built to deliver on-demand data management services, this enterprise-grade NAS solution combines high availability with intelligent data services, enabling seamless integration of file and object workloads, sophisticated policy automation, and scalable storage growth. Whether you are safeguarding mission-critical databases, virtual machines, or collaborative file shares, the 5340 delivers reliable performance, simplified administration, and strong data protection in a single, cohesive platform.

  • On-demand data management with policy-driven automation: automate lifecycle workflows, tiering, retention rules, and data governance to reduce manual administration and accelerate recovery objectives.
  • End-to-end high availability: redundant components, automatic failover, and synchronized clustering keep business operations online even during component failures or maintenance windows.
  • Multi-protocol access for versatile workloads: native support for NFS and SMB file protocols, plus object storage capabilities for S3-compatible access, enabling unified data access across diverse apps and users.
  • Scalable architecture with flexible expansion: modular drive configurations and expansion options support terabytes to multi-petabytes of capacity, with performance-focused caching and tiering to accelerate hot data.
  • Integrated data protection and cloud-ready integration: built-in snapshots, replication, encryption at rest and in transit, and seamless integration with backup, archive, and disaster-recovery workflows across on-premises and cloud environments.

Technical Details of Veritas Flex System 5340 HA NAS Storage System

  • Form factor: 2U rack-mount appliance designed for dense data centers and large workgroups.
  • Drive bays: scalable storage with support for multiple drive configurations (options for 2.5" and 3.5" drives depending on model and expansion shelves).
  • Storage protocols: NFS, SMB, iSCSI, and S3-compatible object storage to cover traditional file sharing and modern object interfaces.
  • Data protection: native snapshots, replication, and encryption at rest to guard data integrity and privacy; policy-based retention to enforce compliance.
  • High availability: built-in HA clustering with automated failover, synchronized metadata, and seamless maintenance without downtime.
  • Networking: flexible network connectivity with multiple high-speed ports to support multi-path access, load balancing, and fault tolerance.
  • Management interface: centralized management dashboard with CLI and REST API for automation, monitoring, and integration with existing IT workflows.
  • Security and compliance: encryption of data at rest, encrypted backups, secure transfer protocols, and role-based access control to protect sensitive information.
  • Power and reliability: redundant power supplies and hot-swappable components designed for enterprise reliability and 24/7 operations.

How to Install Veritas Flex System 5340 HA NAS Storage System

  • Plan the deployment: confirm room and rack space, power readiness, network topology, and integration points with existing backup, virtualization, and cloud services.
  • Rack and connect: install the appliance in a standard 19-inch rack, connect power cords to redundant supplies, and attach network cables to the designated ports for management and data paths.
  • Initial boot and access: power on the system and use the management console or web-based UI to begin the initial configuration, including network settings, time, and security parameters.
  • Configure high availability: establish the primary and secondary (or partner) units, synchronize cluster metadata, and enable automatic failover to ensure uninterrupted access during maintenance or failures.
  • Create storage pools and access: define storage pools, assign disks or shelves, configure file shares and object buckets, and set access controls for users and applications across NFS, SMB, and S3 interfaces.
  • Implement data protection policies: enable snapshots, replication for DR, and retention policies; configure encryption keys and secure transfer settings to safeguard data in transit and at rest.
  • Integrate with ecosystem: connect to backup software, virtualization platforms, monitoring tools, and cloud storage for tiering, DR, and archival workflows; verify alerting and health checks.
  • Test and validate: run failure scenarios, perform restore tests, and confirm performance targets meet SLA requirements before moving into production load.
  • Documentation and ongoing governance: document the deployment topology, access rights, and policy configurations; establish routine health checks and firmware update plans with change control.
