What Veritas Access is
Veritas Access is a software-defined, scale-out NAS solution for unstructured data that runs on commodity hardware. Policy-based tiering moves data between on-premises storage and public or private cloud targets, including Amazon S3, AWS Glacier, Azure, Google Cloud, Alibaba, IBM Cloud Object Storage, Veritas Access S3, and S3-compatible services. Access protocols include NFS, CIFS/SMB, S3, iSCSI, FTP, and Oracle Direct NFS. Administrators can use a GUI, RESTful APIs, or a command-line interface. Data protection includes snapshots, periodic deduplication, and periodic or synchronous replication over IP networks. Authentication supports LDAP, NIS, and Active Directory. Volume encryption uses AES with a 256-bit key, which the guide says is validated by FIPS PUB 140-2. OpenStack Cinder and Manila integrations are included. A scale-out file system can reach 3 PB. Pricing is on request, with a 60-day trial.
