Veeam Backup & Replication and Iomega Easy to use backup storage with StorCenter PX Presenter Name / Event Name
What are the challenges? Managing VMware-centric environments requires a new way of thinking Attempting to manage virtual environments with traditional backups Reducing backup storage utilization Finding a cohesive data protection and storage strategy for virtual environments
Iomega StorCenter PX Product Line StorCenter px4-300d 4 x HDD/SSD Drives (12TB) 2 x GbE StorCenter px6-300d 6 x HDD/SSD Drives (18TB) 2 x GbE StorCenter px12-350r 12 x HDD/SSD Drives (36TB) 4 x GbE Redundant PSU StorCenter px4-300r 4 x HDD/SSD Drives (12TB) 2 x GbE Redundant PSU (optional)
Iomega StorCenter Line Provision an iscsi target to hold Veeam backups Simple, native interface Small environments can place VMs on a separate StorCenter device for primary storage Cost effective disk solution for VM backups
The ideal solution Restarts a VM within minutes using existing backups and storage Obtains reliable backups every time Recovers virtualized application items/objects without added complexities or cost Tests VMs before pushing them live (patches, troubleshooting, etc.) Reduces backup storage requirements Delivers offsite replication, versioning and archiving at a fraction of the traditional price Addresses ROBO (Remote Office/Branch Office)
Veeam Backup & Replication Existing tools are not doing the job Traditional backup Agent in each VM Full VM recovery is complex Expensive Does not guarantee recoverability Typical VMware backup Backup code runs on ESX(i) hosts Significant storage requirements Limited recovery options Does not guarantee recoverability A major reason that organizations still hit these bumps on the backup and recovery road: They use the same products for both physical and virtual server backup, when we all know that virtualization requires a fundamentally different approach.

Reinventing data protection Innovation with vpower Run a VM directly from a compressed and deduplicated backup file Eliminates need to provision storage, extract and copy the backup Taking data protection to the next level 1. Instant VM Recovery: recover an entire VM in less than 2 minutes 2. U-AIR: recover individual emails, database records, etc. from a regular image-level backup without agents, special indexes or extra backups 3. Sure Backup: verify the recoverability of every backup 4. On-Demand Sandbox: create VMs on the fly for testing or troubleshooting 5. Instant File-Level Recovery for any guest OS and file system

Instant VM recovery Fast: start VM directly from backup file Readily available: uses existing backups and backup storage Buys you time: users keep working while you troubleshoot the problem Secure: no special software or connectivity tools needed Easy: just like browsing a file system Instant VM Recovery Use Cases o Users no longer have to wait while admins troubleshoot an issue. This acts as a temporary spare while you find and fix the problem. o Restore service in minutes and have zero impact on end users.

U-AIR Performs item-level recovery from any virtualized application without: application-specific agents to license additional products to buy special backups to create Supports administrator- and user-directed recovery Wizards for administrator-directed item recovery from Microsoft Exchange, Active Directory and SQL Server User-directed item recovery from ANY application or database Replicate means recoveries can be done from local or remote locations
U-AIR U-AIR (Universal Application-Item Recovery) Use Cases: o There is an pending lawsuit against a company, and they need to recover deleted emails for the case o An administrator accidentally fat fingers an AD OU and needs to recover it o A script incorrectly updates records and the admin needs to go back to a previous point in time. o Admins want to use the same image level backup as they do for all their recovery operations no additional tools needed.
SureBackup Automatically verify the recoverability of every backup Does not affect backup windows or require additional hardware and staff Reduce storage requirements without sacrificing tape support or creating a single point of failure Assures reliability in all local or remote locations Check all Check some Checksum SureBackup Use Case: Many admins settle for backups that might work. Now you can verify the recoverability of every single backup every time
On-demand sandbox Instantly start a group of production VMs in sandbox Restore from any point (full or incremental backup) Run directly from the backup file, with backup file remaining untouched Seamless integration with remote and alternate sites Pick from any archive; perform at disk and wire speed On-Demand Sandbox Use Cases: o A way to quickly provision a copy of the production environment for testing without impact o Development can test code changes before implementation o Patch Tuesday is no longer a wait and see approach now you can test those patches before deploying the new patch

The value of a joint solution Veeam Backup & Replication and Iomega storage 2-in-1: backup and replication No extra charge for: Deduplication Enterprise Manager Multi-hypervisor support Veeam and Iomega solution allows you put Veeam s vpower features to work allowing your data to be usable, reliable and protected Quick ROI and low TCO Reliable offsite DR without the big IT price Affordable and simple capacity
Best Practices Backup to iscsi target on Iomega StorCenter Recover from any location using Veeam V6 supports both VMware and Hyper-V environments Completely customer deployable Ideal for SMB and midmarket customers
Additional Considerations For best results, perform the initial sync locally Only changes are moved Consider using one StorCenter to host VMs as well as local backup targets Perfect for small offices Ideal for multiple sites
V6: Coming soon 1. Enterprise scalability: This new distributed architecture streamlines deployment and maintenance of larger scale installations and remote office/branch office by introducing new lightweight backup proxies and repositories to help distribute backup jobs. Additionally, this new intelligent load balancing eliminates backup storms and target saturation. Use Cases: o Great for remote or branch offices that don t necessarily need/have a dedicated backup server. o Larger deployments who are accustomed to a more distributed architecture (legacy tools)
V6: Coming soon Advanced replication: Leveraging the enhanced distributed architecture, advanced replication improves restores and accelerates replication 10x faster than before. Multi-hypervisor support: Veeam Backup & Replication v6 now supports Microsoft Hyper-V. This new offering delivers multi-hypervisor support all from a single license, install and console for your multi-hypervisor environment. With this added support also comes these industry firsts: a. 2-in-1: backup and replication: Provides unified data protection by allowing you to use the same solution for backup and replication without added cost or supplemental tools. cost or supplemental tools. b. Changed block tracking: Offers fast incremental backup 20x faster resulting in near-continuous data protection (near-cdp) at a fraction of the cost of a traditional CDP solution. c. Built-in compression and deduplication: Manage large volumes of data generated from image-based backups by backing them up one time, and then compressing the data.
