VBR_V11_AD Veeam Backup & Replication V11: Architecture and Design

Introduction

• Review the architecture principles

• Explore what a successful architecture looks like

• Review Veeam’s architecture methodology

Discovery

• Analyze the existing environment

• Uncover relevant infrastructure metrics

• Uncover assumptions and risks

• Identify complexity in the environment

Conceptual design

• Review scenario and data from discovery phase

• Identify logical groups of objects that will share resources based on requirements

• Create a set of detailed tables of business and technical requirements, constraints, assumptions and risks

• Review infrastructure data with each product component in mind

• Create high level design and data flow

Logical design

• Match critical components and features of VBR with requirements

• Create logical groupings

• Determine location of components and relationship to logical grouping

• Aggregate totals of component resources needed per logical grouping

• Calculate component (storage, CPU, memory) quantity sizing

Physical/tangible design

• Convert the logical design into a physical design

• Physical hardware sizing

• Create a list of physical Veeam backup components

Implementation and Governance

• Review physical design and implantation plan

• Review Veeam deployment hardening

• Describe the architect’s obligations to the implementation team

• Provide guidance on implementation specifics that relate to the design

Validation and Iteration

• Provide framework for how to test the design

• Further develop the design according to a modification scenario
