However, organisations such as financial
institutions, insurance companies,
government agencies, retailers and service
providers are also at risk. The new Veritas
appliances address data protection for each
of these industries.
Information-defined, on-
demand appliances that
provide increased flexibility
The Veritas Flex and Access appliances are
the first in a new technology form factor
from Veritas that enables information-
defined data management. This allows for
end-to-end data management capabilities,
easily empowering organisations to address
data protection, long-term retention and
archiving that extends from the data centre
to the cloud.
Additionally, the appliances provide
customers with exceptional flexibility and are
designed with a software-defined approach,
where the data management software is
decoupled from the underlying hardware.
The decoupling provides a quick deployment
on proven hardware but also gives
customers the freedom to choose their own
infrastructure at a future time, avoiding
vendor lock-in.
“Data is the life-blood of our organisation
and the need for data backup and recovery,
as well as long-term retention, is important
for maintaining governance and achieving
positive medical outcomes,” said Anthony
Galletta, Director of Storage and Wintel,
Mount Sinai Health System.
“This new infrastructure platform will allow
us to deploy a solid, tested, optimised
and fully-supported solution that can be
implemented quickly, with underlying
hardware that is capable of being
independently upgraded in the future.
This makes for an optimal environment to
ensure patient data is protected and helps
us meet digital compliance.”

resilient, scalable and integrated appliance.
It becomes the first information-defined
appliance from Veritas that provides
dynamic data management micro services,
an approach to application deployment for
organisations needing to quickly respond to
changing environments.
The Veritas Flex Appliance is ideally suited to
simplify data protection infrastructure and
services deployments, allowing customers to:
It also helps protect patient data in
response to long-term data retention
mandates, such as the General Data
Protection Regulation (GDPR) and HIPAA.
The Veritas Access Appliance offers the
following customer benefits:
• Faster deployment for Veritas Access
scale-out network attached storage and
the ability to easily enable managed
infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS)
• A cost-optimised solution for high-
capacity workloads, providing long-
term retention, tape replacement and
backup archiving
• Improved policy-based tiering of
information to the cloud to increase
protection and reduce costs
“Veritas is introducing technology that we
believe is the future of an on-demand data
management infrastructure,” said Mike
Palmer, Executive Vice President and Chief
Product Officer, Veritas.
• Easily add or reconfigure data
protection applications as business
challenges change and run multiple
deployments of those applications with
a container-approach, to help reduce
infrastructure complexity
• Reduce deployment from days
to minutes with on-demand data
protection services to respond to the
rapidly changing requirements of IT
in healthcare and other industries,
such as telecommunications, retail,
manufacturing or banking
• Simplify tiering to on-premises, public,
hybrid or multi-clouds to increase data
protection and reduce costs “As the cloud continues to play a major role
for enterprises and healthcare organisations,
it is paramount that our customers ensure
that data stored in one or more clouds is
protected, easily accessible and actionable,
particularly in healthcare, when life is on the
line and there is little margin for error. These
new appliances from Veritas are a major
step in helping to manage and optimise that
critical data.”
Improving long-term data
retention and archiving with
the Veritas Access Appliance Veritas Technologies aims to empower
businesses of all sizes and industries to
discover the truth in information; their most
important digital asset.
The Veritas Access Appliance is now
available globally from Veritas and its
worldwide channel partners. The Veritas
Flex Appliance will be available in the
coming quarter.
Delivering data protection in a single,
integrated, container-based solution
with the Veritas Flex Appliance The Veritas Access Appliance allows
organisations to easily replace long-term
retention media, such as tape storage, in a
pre-tested and pre-configured, cost-effective
form factor. It integrates Veritas Access
software-defined storage into a cost-and
capacity-optimised appliance for securely
storing data. Using the Veritas platform, customers can
accelerate their digital transformation and
solve pressing IT and business challenges
including multi-cloud data management,
data protection, storage optimisation,
compliance readiness and workload
portability, with no cloud vendor lock-in.
The Veritas Flex Appliance, using container
technology, consolidates multiple data
management deployments on a single, This is particularly important to healthcare
organisations to ensure medical data is
cost-effectively backed up and retrievable. A total of 86% of Fortune 500 companies
rely on Veritas to reveal data insights that
drive competitive advantage. n
