Veeam is Modern Data Protection Built for Virtualization


What is Modern Data Protection?

Veeam Backup & Replication- Fast, reliable recovery…LOW RTOs- Hyper-V and VMware …1 console- Replicate VMs off-premise …Included- Deduplication, Compression …Included- Exchange & SharePoint recovery…Included- Everything … Included

VM Recovery in minutes from backups that work


vPower …Recover VMs in Minutes

• Exclusive patented Veeam technology

• Runs the VM directly from the backup file

• Publishes the contents of the backup file as a datastore a host can connect to

“This is why I love Veeam.They take all the virtualization technology pieces on the table andput them together into a functioning business solution.”

– Brett WestoverIT Administrator

Therapeutic Research Center

Return on investment

Reduce costs for data protection

Eliminate downtime– Prolonged recoveries (for example, rebuild vs. restore, instant recovery)– Failed recoveries

Maximize server consolidation and savings:– Less Equipment– Less Power– Less cooling– Less floor space– Less Management

Keep your job (and your sanity): priceless ∙


Challenges

• Business challenges• Consolidating demanding applications such as Exchange, SQL, and

SharePoint increases the need for higher storage performance• Infrequent backups or none at all, leaving important business data

unprotected• Cost-prohibitive Disaster Recovery solutions

• Technical challenges• Long backup windows impacting availability of business-critical

applications and services• Complex, time-consuming, and costly to manage mixed-environment

backups • Limited array capacity preventing more frequent RPO’s


Joint Solution Overview

• Nimble’s high-performance storage is a perfect complement to Veeam Backup & Replication

• Cost-effectively retain months’ worth of snapshots on a single Nimble array, with restores performed in seconds

• Use Veeam to archive backups for longer retention periods, while retaining flexible and granular recovery options

• Replicate for disaster recovery protection

• Reduce costs and protect virtualization investments while simplifying their backup process and environment


Veeam and Nimble Storage

• Veeam and Nimble provide an optimized, end-to-end storage and data protection solution for virtual environments providing:• Flash-optimized hybrid storage performance• Instant backups and recovery• Capacity efficiency with compression and backup de-duplication• WAN-efficient replication for offsite DR• Lower costs than traditional solutions

• Ideal for performance-intensive applications• Highly dense Microsoft Exchange deployments with item-level recovery• Tackle VDI boot & login storms while maintaining data protection per VM,

desktop, file or application item


Technical details

• Configuration• No additional software updates to install

• Supported versions• All CS-Series arrays • Veeam Backup & Replication• iSCSI SAN


Best practices

• Backup• Nimble for primary storage and short to mid-term snapshots• Veeam for longer term archival backup • Repurpose legacy storage as backup target

• Restoration• Nimble for quick restoration within 60-90 days• Veeam for item-level recovery and long-term restoration
