Features and components of the Veritas 5260 Appliance

This section describes the features and components of the Veritas 5260 Appliance.

Table: Veritas 5260 Appliance features

Feature

Description

Processor

Intel Xeon Scalable Third generation Silver 4314

Appliance software version

Flex Appliance 3.2 or higher

Performance and capacity

  • Supports high-performance processors with low-power consumption.

  • Provides high-capacity intra-appliance switching bandwidth, along with high I/O throughput.

  • Available internal storage capacities of 9 TB, or 36 TB without optional external storage shelves. The available capacity can be allocated either in part or in whole to a deduplication pool or to an AdvancedDisk pool (non-deduplicated storage).

System memory configuration (DIMMS)

64GB, up to a maximum of 512GB

Note:

When you purchase the first storage expansion shelf, it includes both the storage expansion shelf and 256GB of memory that replaces the existing 64GB. In addition, when purchasing the fifth expansion shelf, 256GB of memory is also included with the storage shelf.

Space reduction

The deduplication engine provides up to 100 times reduction in storage. The client-side plug-in provides similar levels of bandwidth reduction.

Scalable architecture

Due to fingerprinting and RAID redundancy, the overall storage capabilities are not a simple multiplication of the disk size and the total number of disks.

High availability

Supports redundant hot-swappable disks and power modules.

RAID levels

RAID 1 (standard mirroring) and RAID 6 (block level striping with double distributed parity) are implemented as follows:

  • Appliance system disks: RAID 1

  • Appliance storage disks: RAID 6

  • Storage shelf data storage disks: RAID 6

Note:

The disk drives in the appliance are pre-formatted before the appliance is shipped. These drives should not be moved into different slots or otherwise rearranged.

Fibre Channel support

The Veritas 5260 Appliance can be ordered with one, two, three or four PCIe 32 Gb Fibre Channel host bus adapter cards preinstalled.

PCIe 10/25 Gb Ethernet cards

Yes (with Fibre Optic ports)

I/O Ports

See Veritas 5260 Appliance total I/O on-board and PCIe ports.

12 Gb SAS-3 ports

(PCIe-based)

(RAID controller)

2

Used to connect the Veritas Appliance compute node to the 2U12 Primary Storage Shelf

10/25 GbE

Ethernet/iSCSI-capable ports

(PCIe-based)

Up to six, depending on the appliance I/O configuration

32 Gb Fibre Channel ports

(PCIe-based)

Up to eight, depending on the appliance I/O configuration

10 Gb Ethernet ports

(on-board)

4

Additional storage

Yes

You can attach up to six optional storage shelves to the Veritas 5260 Appliance. Depending on the appliance configuration you purchase, a total of 429.4 TB of usable storage capacity is available.

See Usable appliance storage capacities.
