protection to the Edge with Flex 5150

defined infrastructure, has unveiled the
Veritas Flex 5150 appliance, a complete
data protection solution purpose built for
the Edge of enterprise networks.

The Flex 5150 is the first appliance
from Veritas to bring the NetBackup
enterprise-class data protection to Edge,
branch and remote offices.
Gartner predicts that by 2022, more than
50% of enterprise-generated data will
be created and processed outside the
data centre or cloud. But, while data at
the Edge requires the same enterprise-
class protection as in the data centre,
remote and branch locations have cost
and space constraints that are unique to
those environments.
“Trends such as 5G and IoT are leading
to a more decentralised IT infrastructure.
And while the need for data to always be
available and protected, no matter where
it lives, is not going away, ‘how’ this gets
done needs to adapt in light of these
trends,” said Phil Brace, Executive Vice
President, Storage Solutions at Veritas.
“The Flex 5150 is an exciting first step
in extending the reach of the Enterprise
Data Services Platform beyond just the
data centre and the cloud. and troubleshoot these problems
by eliminating the need for onsite IT
expertise and provides an adaptable tool
for today’s dynamic market.”
“This simple, container-based appliance
is designed to increase the efficiency
and effectiveness of protecting data at
the Edge, without needing dedicated IT
staff to do it. This saves time, money and
reduces the risks of any downtime.” Benefits of the Flex 5150 for enterprise
data protection at the Edge:
• Protects and restores data at the
Edge, where it is created
• Seamlessly integrates with
NetBackup in the data centre and
in the cloud through a modern
containerised architecture
• Simplifies and centralises remote
management with automated
policies to reduce risk and ensure
consistent protection
• Cost effective, compact and easy
to install
With the Veritas Flex 5150, deploying and
maintaining enterprise levels of protection
at the Edge is no longer a challenge.
Designed for locations with limited
space and IT resources, the Flex
5150 is a fully functional NetBackup
solution that integrates completely with
NetBackup in the core data centre
and the cloud, yet is easy to set up
and maintain for the Edge. “Untrained
IT staff, outdated infrastructures and
changing business environments
have been longstanding challenges in
establishing data protection for remote
and branch offices,” said Phil Goodwin,
Research Director, IDC. “The Flex
5150 appliance allows businesses to
upgrade their backup infrastructure
Flex 5150 will be generally available
before the end of the year. u
Trends such as 5G and
IoT are leading to a
more decentralised IT
infrastructure.
