Veritas Merge1 Standard Textguard + Essential Support - On-Premise 5-Year License

Designed for government agencies and organizations with strict data protection requirements, the Veritas Merge1 Standard Textguard solution combines powerful data integration with Textguard—a text-protection capability—delivered as an On-Premise Subscription License. This 5-year term is tailored for 1 User and 1 Connector, offering predictable budgeting, robust security, and reliable performance within a controlled, local IT environment. With the Veritas Government Licensing Program (GLP) pricing, government buyers gain a streamlined procurement path, less administrative overhead, and a clear upgrade and support trajectory for the full license period. The package includes Essential Support to minimize downtime, accelerate issue resolution, and keep the software up to date with security patches, feature updates, and best-practice guidance. In practice, this means your data workflows, interdepartmental exchanges, and regulatory reporting stay secure, compliant, and available, even when handling sensitive records or high-volume data transfers. The combination of on-premise deployment, GLP pricing, and a long-term license term makes this Veritas offering a prudent choice for mission-critical operations that require visibility, control, and auditable data protection without reliance on external cloud services.

• Textguard-powered protection for on-premise operations: This offering weaves Textguard’s text-based protection into your Merge1 environment, applying policy-driven controls to sensitive content that traverses your local networks and data stores. Expect enhanced detection of sensitive data—such as personally identifiable information (PII), confidential procurement details, and other regulated content—paired with auditable logging and tamper-resistant records. In practice, this means your on-premise data flows are shielded from inadvertent exposure or leakage during transfers, transformations, and integration tasks, while maintaining performance and governance alignment with internal security frameworks. The Textguard layer complements Merge1’s data orchestration capabilities, enabling rule-based redaction, access controls, and traceable activity that supports compliance audits and incident investigations. This bullet highlights how a single license unlocks a comprehensive protection surface within your trusted, local infrastructure.
• Government-ready procurement through GLP pricing: The Veritas Government Licensing Program is designed to ease government acquisitions by offering predictable pricing and terms that align with public-sector budgeting cycles. With GLP, agencies can plan multi-year deployments, manage license lifecycles with clarity, and coordinate approvals more efficiently. The 5-year term ensures continuity and reduces renewal complexity, while Essential Support provides ongoing access to Veritas experts, timely updates, and security advisories. This combination helps agencies meet compliance mandates, maintain auditable change management, and avoid licensing gaps that could disrupt critical operations. The on-premise model also supports stringent data residency, sovereignty, and governance policies that are common in government environments.
• 5-year term plus Essential Support for uptime and value: A long-term license paired with a robust support package yields predictable total cost of ownership and steadier IT planning. Essential Support typically covers software updates, security patches, and direct access to Veritas engineering resources to resolve issues efficiently. The 5-year horizon supports training, process optimization, and strategic initiatives—allowing teams to implement mature data protection workflows, refine governance practices, and scale internal competencies over time. The 1 User / 1 Connector configuration is ideal for focused deployments or pilot programs that demonstrate value before broader rollout, while the on-premise footprint ensures data remains within your security perimeter and governance boundaries. This combination delivers reliability, accountability, and long-term protection that aligns with government performance and compliance expectations.
• Clear licensing scope for small teams with room to grow: The license is specifically structured for 1 User and 1 Connector, enabling tight control over who can access and manage the system and which data sources are integrated. This scoped approach reduces complexity, accelerates deployment, and simplifies compliance reporting because usage can be precisely mapped to the licensed roles and connectors. At the same time, Veritas maintains pathing for expansion—organizations can add users or connectors to meet expanding needs while preserving governance, security, and support quality. The on-premise deployment preserves control over hardware, network segmentation, and access policies, ensuring that growth remains predictable in both cost and risk management.
• Seamless compatibility with Veritas ecosystems and on-premise resilience: Veritas Merge1 is designed to fit into established IT architectures, particularly those that rely on Veritas products or require stringent data protection. The on-premise installation supports high-performance data transfers, controlled access, and low-latency processing that are essential for government workloads and sensitive operations. The Textguard integration strengthens protection without introducing external dependencies, while the 5-year license structure aligns with IT roadmaps, audits, and regulatory cycles. This feature set is especially valuable for agencies that need to demonstrate continuous compliance, maintain an auditable trail of data handling activities, and keep mission-critical processes running with minimal interruption across program cycles.

How to install Veritas Merge1 Standard Textguard + Essential Support

• 1. Prepare your on-premise server: Verify hardware compatibility, operating system support, and network access required by Merge1 and Textguard. Confirm that your environment meets minimum performance and security standards, including appropriate firewall rules, access controls, and monitoring capabilities to support ongoing protection without impacting production workloads. Plan for a dedicated maintenance window to minimize disruption during installation and validation.
• 2. Retrieve your license under GLP: Obtain the 5-year, 1-user, 1-connector license key and activation details from your government procurement channel. Ensure you have the correct entitlement aligned with the GLP program and that any required approvals are in place to enable seamless activation within your environment.
• 3. Run the installer and configure Textguard components: Launch the Merge1 installer package on the target server and follow the guided prompts to install the core Merge1 platform along with the Textguard components. During setup, map the configuration to your data sources, apply standard security baselines, and enable the Textguard protection rules that suit your organization’s data governance policy.
• 4. Create and assign the 1 user and 1 connector: Establish the designated user account with the appropriate roles and permissions, and configure the single connector to integrate with the intended data sources or systems. Validate that access controls, authentication, and authorization align with your internal security policies and regulatory requirements.
• 5. Activate license and validate protection: Apply the license key, enable Essential Support access, and run a comprehensive validation workflow to confirm that Textguard protections are enforcing the intended rules on real or representative data. Verify that logging, auditing, and alerting are functioning, and perform a small-scale test transfer to ensure data protection policies trigger correctly without impacting performance.
