Cyber-resilient data protection for department-level workloads.

The NetBackup Flex 5260 appliance is a turnkey cyber-resilient data protection solution that reduces data center costs with improved management efficiency and bullet proof cyber resiliency. As a complete data protection solution with more than 400 TB of storage, it can be quickly deployed to protect critical workloads across the enterprise.

The NetBackup Access 3350 is a turnkey appliance designed to provide long-term retention in NetBackup environments. Deep integration with NetBackup means faster restores for LTR data sets and reduced overall storage costs with Global Dedupe. NetBackup's proven, enterprise-hardened deduplication saves space, improving storage efficiency and effective capacity by as much as 30x.

Access Appliance utilizes a multilayered security architecture that provides resilience against ransomware for the entire data protection infrastructure. At its core is immutable storage, an important component for ransomware resilience. Other layers include container isolation, a hardened operating system, access control and intrusion detection and prevention.

Automated tiering, via NetBackup Storage Lifecycle Policies, orchestrates data migration to on-premise and off-premise clouds to further reduce the operating cost, address additional capacity requirements, and increase the resilience of long-term data stores. Support for multiple protocols, including Amazon S3, CIFS/SMB and NFS, increases the utility of Access Appliance across the infrastructure where immutability and data tiering of unstructured data sets is required.

Like all NetBackup appliances, the Access 3350 comes with everything needed to put the system in production, including Access Software, which includes a pre-tuned operating system with security hardening, an integrated hardware platform that includes supportability enhancements and integration with NetInsights, Veritas' industry leading remote management application.

Access Appliance use cases include:

• Cost-effective tape replacement-Replace tape-based storage to meet demanding Recovery Time Objectives (RTOs) and reduce maintenance costs and additional software licensing required for many tape libraries
• Archiving with Veritas Enterprise VaultTM-The Access 3350 works as a primary archive store, offering compliant and flexible storage for archive retention with remote replication capabilities
• Hybrid Cloud LTR Solution-NetBackup Access facilitates tiering data to popular cloud platforms.

• Resilient hardware architecture-Clustered nodes with multiple data paths, redundant hot swap power supplies, redundant fan modules, and RAID groups with hot pluggable disks, deliver greater data protection and system availability

Cyber resilient, increased scalability, simple to deploy and operate.

As IT departments adapt to the rapidly changing business environment, their data centers also evolve. Several trends are emerging as organizations modernize their data centers and develop data protection strategies. The cloud has changed the way organizations deploy and maintain IT infrastructure.

IT departments are building hybrid and private clouds to take advantage of public cloud?like agility, scalability, and ease of use, while maintaining control over their data and meeting regulatory requirements. Correspondingly, there is a shift to software on off-the-shelf servers for primary storage and data protection to take advantage of economies of scale and minimize costs.

Protection against cyberattacks is a top priority for IT departments. Data protection solutions are a key defense to recover quickly to safeguard your company's data and brand.NetBackup Flex Scale is the latest extension of NetBackup that delivers a cyber resilient data protection appliance that is scalable, highly resilient, and simple to manage and deploy.

Today, NetBackup supports more than 800 workloads ranging from traditional applications to workloads in the cloud. This unrivaled foundation of experience in data protection has been achieved by extending NetBackup with support for new workloads as they are introduced into the enterprise. With the introduction of the NetBackup Flex Scale hyperconverged scale-out deployment option, Veritas delivers complete, ransomware resilient enterprise-wide data protection and disaster recovery aligned to the needs of the workload.

Pay-as-You-Grow, Scale-Out Architecture Optimized for Data Protection

To meet the needs of cloud-like scalability and ease of use, Veritas now offers organizations the flexibility to deploy NetBackup as a scale-out, automated data protection service. Veritas always starts with data protection first. Rather than adapting NetBackup to use a standard scale-out file system, Veritas designed a completely new containerized, hyperconverged architecture that enables the scaling of NetBackup services, performance, and capacity.

• Enterprise-grade NetBackup data protection and disaster recovery from the most trusted and widely deployed data protection solution
• No-compromise scaling, resiliency, and massive performance
• Administration through automation, accelerating data protection as a service delivery

NetBackup Flex Scale automatically scales performance and capacity as data protection demands increase. There is no need to overprovision for future growth. Adding nodes automatically increases distributed, cluster-wide resources. NetBackup Flex Scale software is delivered on Veritas validated off-the-shelf servers, providing enterprise-class data protection and hardware commonality in the data, reducing costs and simplifying provisioning and management.

A Major Advancement in Automated IT Operations

NetBackup Flex Scale reduces the challenges in rapidly adapting to the changing business environment with automated features that optimize performance and recovery to meet stringent service-level agreements (SLAs). NetBackup Flex Scale reduces the need for specialized IT resources with automated operations, including:

• Provisioning
