CDP Replication for Average Write Rate of 1000 MB/s

Updated - V12.1The environment described in this architecture are two datacenters and multiple VMs in a cluster with a total average write rate of 1000 MB/s, consuming 300 TB of primary storage. The VMs will be replicated from the primary datacenter to the target cluster in the secondary datacenter through continuous data protection (CDP). A single vCenter will manage the source and target cluster. Each datacenter will contain a CDP proxy installed on a physical server. Networking speed between components in each datacenter is 10 Gbps.

Veeam Replication for 500 VMs

This environment consists of 500 VMs that require traditional Veeam replication and CDP replication to an offsite datacenter. The VMs average two disks each, and consume 75TB of source datastore space, averaging 150GB per VM. The VMs requiring CDP have a combined average write rate of 500MB/s.  For critical workloads, a short-term RPO of 15 seconds within a four-hour window and an RPO of eight hours for long-term retention within a 48-hour window. An RPO of 12 hours for residual workloads, which requires replication to occur twice a day, completing within an eight-hour window of starting.  The inter-site link is 10gb/s. This deployment will not share proxy resources with any existing backup tasks.

Migrate an existing backup platform to Veeam Backup & Replication with new hardware

The environment described in this architecture consists of one primary data center containing a mixture of VMs and physical servers. A third-party backup solution currently protects the environment. Veeam Backup and Replication has been purchased and will replace the existing backup solution. In addition to Veeam Backup and Replication, block-based storage hardware has been purchased to hold the production backup archives and a replica of the backup archives at an off-site location.

Migrate an existing backup platform to Veeam Backup & Replication with temporary swing space

The environment described in this architecture consists of one primary data center containing a mixture of VMs and physical servers. A third-party backup solution currently protects the environment. Veeam Backup and Replication has been purchased and will replace the existing backup solution.Veeam Backup and Replication will ultimately use all the existing backup storage target. To help with this, a small storage array has been acquired as temporary swing space to host Veeam Backup and Replication backup archives until enough storage space becomes available (i.e., the legacy backups age out of retention) on the existing backup target to host all Veeam Backup archives.

Veeam Architecture Discovery

The first phase of the VeeamDesign Methodology is the Discovery phase. This phase is devoted to collecting relevant information for later phases. Stakeholders should be consulted to develop a detailed list of objectives and capture environmental data to form requirements.This document contains example technical discovery questions that should be answered before a Veeam Architecture is created.

Veeam Backup for SQL Server Database Plug-in

Updated - V12.1The environment described in this architecture focuses on a single, 1 TB database instance. Most environments have multiple database instances, across multiple servers that may range from a few gigabytes (GB) in size to multiple terabytes (TB). This scenario can be used as a baseline to deploy for those multiple database environments.

Single production datacenter offload to capacity tier 1,000 VMs

Updated - V12.1The environment described in this architecture builds of the 1000 VMs “Single production datacenter to offsite datacenter” scenario. The local repositories are defined as the Performance Tier of a Scale-out Backup Repository (SOBR). The Capacity Tier is a “public-cloud” Object Store. This reference architecture covers capacity tier copy + move operations. It accounts for the potential concurrency of primary backup and offload operations by detailing additional required resources. Each VM and physical server has an average of 200 GB of used storage space (1000 VMs and 100 servers).
