About the Veritas 5350 Appliance

The Veritas 5350 Appliance is a media server solution designed for large workloads. It provides high performance with multiple service offerings and gets deployed in less than 60 minutes.

The Veritas 5350 appliance is available as a single-node or a two-node appliance. The Veritas 5350 high availability (HA) configuration includes two compute nodes, one required Primary Storage Shelf, and up to three optional Expansion Storage Shelves.

The Veritas 5350 Appliance supports the following software:

  • Veritas Flex Appliance 2.0.1 and above

  • NetBackup Appliance software release 4.0 (revised) and above

    Note:

    This model uses a revised version of software release 4.0. This revised software version contains specific support for the 5350 hardware and the related software functionality that is not included in the previous 4.0 release. The minimum supported software version for the 5350 appliance is the revised 4.0 version that is shipped with each unit. If a re-image is ever necessary, you must use the revised 4.0 software version

The Veritas 5350 Appliance is a hardware and software storage system that scales up to a total of 1,920TiB (2,111TB) of usable backup capacity. It consists of one 2U 5350 Appliance compute node and one required externally attached 5U84 Primary Storage Shelf, which is used for data storage purposes. By itself, the 5350 Appliance compute node does not provide internal disk space for data storage. You can add up to three optional 5U84 Expansion Storage Shelves if you require additional data storage space.

Note:

Total usable backup capacity depends on the hardware configuration you purchase.

See Available appliance storage options.

SAS-3 cables connect the 5350 Appliance compute nodes to 5U84 Primary Storage Shelf RAID controllers. SAS-3 cables also connect 5U84 Primary Storage Shelves to the optional 5U84 Expansion Storage Shelves.
