Veritas Merge1 Standard Microsoft OneDrive + Essential Support is a government-focused, 5-year on-prem subscription that combines robust data protection with seamless access control, ensuring data sovereignty and compliance for public sector organizations. Built for the demands of government workflows, this license delivers a reliable, scalable foundation for preserving critical documents, supporting disaster recovery, and maintaining business continuity.

This product is optimized for a single user and a single connector, making it ideal for smaller teams or pilot deployments that plan to scale within a compliant, secure framework.

• Unify data protection for Microsoft OneDrive with a dedicated on-premises solution. Merge1 brings comprehensive backup, recovery, and continuity features to ensure your cloud-based files remain protected even when cloud services are unavailable or compromised. This on-premises approach gives government teams full governance over retention policies, encryption, access controls, and audit trails, all within a controlled data footprint.
• Five-year subscription with essential support. The license is designed to provide long-term value without the need for frequent renewals, giving agencies predictable budgeting while enjoying core technical support, security updates, and access to Veritas’ knowledge base. Essential support is tailored to public sector requirements, including response times and service level commitments aligned with GLP standards.
• Government-ready licensing. Veritas’ Government Licensing Program (GLP) streamlines procurement for government organizations, aligning license terms, pricing, and compliance with public sector purchasing practices. This makes it easier to plan deployments, manage audits, and meet regulatory expectations while retaining full functionality of Merge1 for OneDrive.
• On-premises deployment for data sovereignty. By hosting the critical components on government-approved hardware, agencies maintain complete control over data residency, encryption, key management, and access policies. This approach reduces exposure to external network risks while enabling faster local restorations during incidents or outages.
• Simple per-user, per-connector model. The package includes 1 user and 1 connector, delivering a focused, cost-effective entry point for smaller teams or early-stage implementations. The modular structure supports future expansion, allowing organizations to scale the number of users or connectors as requirements evolve while maintaining governance and compliance standards.

How to install Veritas Merge1 Standard Microsoft OneDrive + Essential Support - On-Premise Subscription License - 1 User, 1 Connector - 5 Year

• Verify prerequisites and compliance. Before installation, confirm hardware and operating system requirements, network configurations, and security policies that align with your government compliance standards. Ensure the target PC has the necessary permissions to install on-premise software and integrate with Microsoft OneDrive data sources.
• Obtain installation media and licensing. Access the authorized procurement channel provided under the GLP, and retrieve the Merge1 installer package along with the 5-year subscription activation key or license file. Validate that you are using the licensed version for 1 user and 1 connector to avoid activation issues.
• Prepare the environment. Create or designate a secure server or workstation for Merge1 components, configure backup storage or connected repositories as required by your policy, and set up any necessary service accounts with minimal privilege levels. Confirm firewall rules, port access, and network routes to support seamless data flow between OneDrive and the on-premise components.
• Run the installer and configure connectors. Execute the Setup wizard, select the OneDrive integration option, and configure the single connector to connect to the intended OneDrive account or tenant. Define retention policies, encryption settings, and access controls per government policy, then complete the installation.
• Activate licenses, verify protection, and test recovery. Apply the 5-year license, launch a controlled backup to OneDrive, and perform a simulated restore to verify data integrity and recovery times. Validate that audit logs, tamper protections, and role-based access controls operate as intended, and document the results for compliance records.
