Veritas Flex System 5340 HA NAS Storage System

The Veritas Flex System 5340 HA NAS Storage System redefines enterprise data management by delivering a resilient, Information-Defined appliance designed to protect, manage, and move data with precision. Built for modern data workloads, this high-availability NAS storage system combines data protection, on-demand services, and smart tiering that spans on-premises storage and both public and private clouds. It enables organizations to enforce policy-driven data lifecycle management, accelerate backup and recovery, and optimize storage costs without sacrificing performance or security. With Veritas at the helm, you gain a scalable foundation that adapts to evolving business needs, reduces risk, and simplifies complex data workflows across hybrid environments.

• High-availability architecture with redundant controllers and hot-swappable components ensures continuity of operations and minimizes downtime, even during maintenance or drive failures. The 5340 is designed to stand up to the most demanding workloads while delivering predictable service levels for critical applications and workloads.
• Information-Defined data management pairs policy-driven automation with metadata-informed storage orchestration. This enables automated data protection, intelligent tiering, and scalable lifecycle management that reduces manual intervention and optimizes storage efficiency across both on-premises and cloud resources.
• Multi-cloud readiness and on-demand tiering support seamless data movement to and from public clouds (and private cloud infrastructures) to balance performance, cost, and compliance. Organizations can tier cold or infrequently accessed data to cost-effective cloud storage while keeping hot data close for fast access.
• Advanced data protection features include fast snapshots, near-instant recovery, and policy-based replication to DR sites. Enhanced security comes from encryption at rest and in transit, role-based access controls, and audit-ready activity logs that help meet regulatory requirements.
• Scalability and flexible access with multi-protocol compatibility (NFS, SMB, object-store interfaces) and scalable capacity ensures organizations can grow storage as data volumes surge. The platform is designed to deliver strong IOPS and low latency for enterprise apps while supporting efficient deduplication and compression to maximize usable capacity.

How to install Veritas Flex System 5340 HA NAS Storage System

• Step 1: Prepare your environment by verifying rack space, power availability, network connectivity, and airflow. Ensure the data center or office rack meets cooling requirements and that power circuits provide redundancy to support hot-swappable components.
• Step 2: Unpack the Veritas Flex System 5340, install the chassis into the rack, and connect redundant power supplies. Attach management and data network cables to the appropriate NICs and ensure cable management is neat to preserve airflow and ease future maintenance.
• Step 3: Power up the system and access the management portal through the initial network interface. Begin a guided setup to configure the management IP, administrator credentials, and licensing as required for your environment.
• Step 4: Create storage pools and configure data protection policies. Define backup targets, replication destinations, and recovery objectives. Implement automated tiering rules to enable smooth data movement between on-site storage and cloud repositories.
• Step 5: Integrate with your existing infrastructure and security posture. Establish user roles, access controls, and auditing settings. Connect the NAS to your cloud accounts for hybrid cloud operations, set up alerts, and validate disaster recovery workflows with a dry run to ensure readiness.
