Basic settings

Stor name

Displays the name of the Stor.

Stor type

Displays the type of the Stor.

State

Displays one of the following states of the Stor:

Not Provisioned

Provisioned

Online

Online ReadOnly

Size

Displays the size of the Stor that is same as the total size of the Blob.

Options

PII

Select the check box to enable Personal Identifiable Information (PII) detection.

If PII is enabled, the Stor is evaluated according to the policy interval and the content indexing scope.

Versioning

Select the check box to enable file versioning for the Stor.

Encrypt data at

Select the check box to encrypt the data at rest.

Support storage tiering

Select the check box to support the storage tierings for the Stor.

Support pre-ingest encryption

Select the check box if the Stor supports pre-ingest encryption. The PreIngestEncrypted metadata field is added to the Stor.

Hide from End-User Portal

Select the check box to hide the Stor from the End-User portal.

Stor-level WORM

Select the check box to enable Stor-level WORM for the Stor.

Stor-level WORM provides a single WORM retention period for all content in the Stor.

This setting is optionally configured on a Stor at the time of provisioning the Stor. Before performing the process of provisioning, you are required to discuss with the Veritas Alta SaaS Protection technical support team.

After a Stor is provisioned in WORM mode, the settings cannot be changed.

Specify a retention period for WORM. The specified WORM retention protection is applied to all data that is archived in the Stor.

After the WORM retention period is completed, the content is deleted.

Item-level WORM

Select the check box to enable Item-level WORM for the Stor.

Item-level WORM supports one or more WORM retention periods on the Stor. Item-level WORM retention periods are driven by the document-level policies that are run in real time during the write process.

Multiple item-level WORM policies can be used within a Stor.

The setting for item-level WORM is configured on the Stor at the time of provisioning the Stor, the settings cannot be modified.

Blob replication settings

Locally Redundant Storage (LRS)

Select this option to enable Locally Redundant Storage for the Stor.

LRS is the default Blob replication configuration that Veritas Alta SaaS Protection provides. Three synchronous copies of the data are maintained in a single datacenter. LRS replicates the data within the region of the customer. To maximize durability, every request that is made for the content is replicated thrice. These three replicas each placed in Fault Domains (FD) and Upgrade Domains (UD).

The three replicas are spread across UDs and FDs to ensure that data is available even if hardware failure affects a single rack or when nodes are upgraded during a rollout.

Geo Redundant Storage (GRS)

Select this option to enable Geo Redundant Storage for the Stor.

Six copies of the data are made (three synchronous copies in one datacenter + three asynchronous copies in a second datacenter).

GRS replicates the data to a secondary region that is hundreds of miles away from the primary region. The data is durable even in the case of a complete regional outage or a disaster in which the primary region is not recoverable.

An update is first committed to the primary region, where it is replicated three times. Then the update is replicated to the secondary region, where it is also replicated three times, across separate FDs and UDs.

Read-Access Geo Redundant Storage (RAVersion control settings

-GRS)

Select this option to enable Read-Access Geo Redundant Storage for the Stor.

Six copies are replicated to a second datacenter.

RA-GRS maximizes availability for the storage account, by providing read-only access to the data in the secondary location, in addition to the replication across two regions that are provided by GRS. If data becomes unavailable in the primary region, the application can read data from the secondary region.

Version control settings

The Version control settings let you reduce the number of versions that are retained. By default, all versions of an item are retained. The version control feature works for the following applications:

If a new version of a document is detected, an additional version of that document is stored. By default, all versions are retained in Veritas Alta SaaS Protection unless you enable versioning.

Policy evaluation interval in minutes

Displays an interval to auto-run the policies defined for this Stor. By default, it is 15 minutes. You can edit the values as required.

Policy evaluation last ran

Displays the time when the policy evaluation was last run.
