The Veritas Access 7.2: Administration course is designed for the IT professional tasked with installing, configuring, and maintaining Veritas Access environments. Veritas Access is a software-only, scale-out network-attached storage (NAS) solution for unstructured data that can be installed on any x86 commodity server and can provide access to storage via multiple network protocols for on-premises and cloud ecosystems. This course covers how to use Veritas Access to manage storage, file systems, and shares using the Veritas Access Command Line Interface and web-based GUI. You will learn the basics of file system and file share administration. In addition, you learn about the different file sharing protocols supported in Veritas Access, such as NFS, CIFS, and S3. In this course you will configure cloud-based storage as a secondary tier in Veritas Access. You also learn how to integrate Veritas Access as Long Term Retention (LTR) storage for NetBackup.
