The Veritas 5250 Appliance is a hardware and software storage system that can scale to 429.4 TiB of available backup capacity. It consists of a Veritas 5250 Appliance and up to six optional Veritas 2U12 65.5TiB/72TB storage shelves. By itself, the 2U Veritas5250 Appliance offers internal storage from 9.1 TiB to 36.4 TiB, depending on the appliance configuration purchased.

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
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
Fibre Channel support
The Veritas 5250 Appliance can be ordered with one, two, three or four PCIe 16 Gb Fibre Channel host bus adapter cards preinstalled.
PCie 10/25 Gb Ethernet cards
PCIe 10/25 Gb Ethernet cards with Fibre Optic ports are available.
