Server virtualization has matured
 VMs now support mission-critical production workloads
 Virtualization is becoming the standard for new
applications
 VM sprawl must be brought under control
 The business expects more out of virtualization, and
IT is moving toward cloud computing
Management – Reporting and Monitoring
What do I need to accomplish?
 Improve service levels
 Enhance communication with stakeholders
 Manage complexity
 Optimize use of the virtualization team
 Streamline compliance
 Maximize virtualization outcomes: agility, resource
utilization, management efficiency, cost savings
 Simplify virtualization management
 Management-level reporting
Management – Reporting and Monitoring
How do I do it?
 Alert on performance and events
 View service maps and dashboards
 Get detailed reporting and auditing
 Capacity planning
 Change management
 Chargeback
 Over/Under resourced VMs
 Integrate notifications, responses
and automation
For the virtualization team, the pressure is on
 Performance and availability

Existing tools aren’t doing the job
 Traditional backup
● Agent in each VM
 Veeam backup
● Agentless
● Full VM recovery is complex and tedious ● Instant VM Recovery
● Expensive
● Cost effective
● Does not guarantee recoverability
● SureBackup verification
Veeam Backup & Replication™
Back to the Basics:
Pile on the goodies!
Backup AND Replication
Image based / Block level

File Level Recovery
Deduplication / Compression
Instant Recovery
Surebackup
UAIR
Enterprise Scalability
Advanced replication
Multi-hypervisor support
1-Click File Restore
VM Migration
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

Veeam Backup Server

U-AIR
 No application-specific agents to license
 No additional products to buy
 No special backups to create
 Supports ANY virtualized application
 Durable—not tied to application internals
 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
 Maintains separation of permissions between backup
administrators and application owners
New distributed architecture
 Better performance with lightweight proxies that
act as data movers
 Simplified deployment and maintenance of
remote/large scale installations
 Allows more efficient replication over WAN
Example: scale-out
Centralized management
 Federation of backup servers for unlimited scalability
 Consolidated alerting and reporting
 Enterprise-wide VM and file searching
 Automation via SDK
Why replication?
It’s not just a commercial bundling of products…
it’s a cohesive data protection strategy
 Virtualization enables cost-effective replication
 Simple failover to dissimilar hardware and storage
 Cheap standby environment: single host for multiple replicas
 Quick, simple restore: whole VM (not application-specific)
 Virtualization enables unified data protection




Image-level, incremental backup for all VMs
Image-level, incremental replication for tier 1 VMs
Only difference is the target
Hypervisor-agnostic approach
How it works…
Replication Architecture
 Host-based, VM-level replication
 Near-CDP capable (replicate every 5-15 minutes)
 Uses proxies servers at source and target sites
 vStorage API Hot Add (“Virtual Appliance” mode) for writes
 Traffic compression
Better Failover
 1-Click failover
 Automatic job updates
 Active rollbacks for VMware




Every restore point is immediately available
Replica state protection
Retention processing is about simple snapshot commit!
Real Failback
1-Click & Confirm Failback
Failback commit
Delta sync
Other Features





Seed from backup
Seed anywhere
Replica mapping
Replica re-homing
Replicate to cluster
Shared engine features
 Traffic throttling
 Defines rules based on source/target IP address pair
 Global – divides available bandwidth between all proxy servers
 Flexible – rules can be enabled depending on time of the day
 Swap exclusion
 Excludes disk blocks backing swap files from processing
 Enforceable processing windows
 Jobs crossing the defined replication window are automatically
terminated (prevents snapshot commit during prod hours)
 Simplified scheduling
 Overlapping backup and replication no longer causes either job
to fail – no more baby-sitting your schedules!
2-in-1 backup and replication for Hyper-V
 Comprehensive data protection
 Unified approach
Changed block tracking for Hyper-V
 Fast incremental backup—20x faster
 Near-CDP
 Supports VMs running on CSVs
Built-in compression and deduplication
 Manage large volume of data generated by imagebased backups
 Included at no extra charge
 Also includes optional synthetic full backups to manage
data volume
Unified data protection across hypervisors
 Single license, install and console
 Same data protection infrastructure
but still hypervisor-specific (e.g., volume- vs. VM-level snapshot)
Single console
for VMware
and Hyper-V
Same data
protection
infrastructure
for VMware
and Hyper-V
Additional differentiators
 Free license swaps
 Restore VM on any Hyper-V host
 Protect all VMs, including VMs on hosts running Windows
Server Core installation
1-Click File Restore
 Enhancement to existing IFLR
IFLR = file-level recovery from an image-level backup
 Restore directly from search: 10:1 reduction in number of steps
 Delegated, agentless, secure
1-Click File Restore (continued)
Webbased
Find the
file
Right-click
to restore one…
… or several files
1-Click File Restore (continued)
 Restore directly to original location
● Uses guest interaction APIs
● Does not require:
 Direct network connection to VM
 User permissions on host or VM
 Agent in host or VM
 Delegate file restores
● New “File Restore Operator” role
● Delegated operator does not need permissions on backup files,
the host or the VM
● Secure: files restored directly to original location
● Can be restricted to certain file types (.docx, .xlsx, etc.)
VM migration for VMware
 Wizard to migrate one or more VMs from:
● One host to another
● One datastore to another
● Both
 Instant VM Recovery aware
 Uses VMware vMotion and Storage vMotion,
when available
 Otherwise uses new Veeam Quick Migration technology
● Between standalone hosts
● To new storage
● Other
VM migration for VMware (continued)
 Also uses new Veeam SmartSwitch technology,
when possible
● Eliminates downtime from power down/power up
● Pause the source  copy the memory state  resume VM on target
25,000+ customers and 1,800,000+ VMs
“If you’re serious about backing up your virtual machines, you need to have faith in a
product that works. I’ve tried them all and am most pleased with Veeam. Veeam Backup
is definitely number one in this market.”

Recognition
nworks MP has won awards from VMworld, SearchServerVirtualization.com and
Virtualization Review
Designed specifically for virtualization
“Though the modern data center has rapidly
adopted server virtualization to improve
operational efficiency, cut capital costs and
ease management, many IT organizations
still continue to use monitoring and reporting
approaches that were designed for physical
environments.
“Organizations need monitoring and
reporting solutions that can take into
account the nuances that virtualization
introduces.”
