Veeam Using cloud connect in 3 unexpected, awesome ways
1 like529 views
Veeam Cloud Connect can be used in three unexpected ways: 1. To migrate on-premises tenant workloads to IaaS by using Cloud Connect as a staging repository. 2. To migrate workloads across different platforms to IaaS by leveraging Veeam Agent and an on-premises Veeam installation. 3. To provide DRaaS for on-premises workloads by using Cloud Connect for replication, failover via a self-service portal, and failover testing.
Veeam Using cloud connect in 3 unexpected, awesome ways
- 1. Using Cloud Connect in 3 Unexpected, awesome ways Tanawit Chansuchai System Engineer at Veeam Thailand
- 2. Agenda Introduction and audience Ways to use Cloud Connect Conclusion
- 4. As easy as 1, 2, 3 2 Different media (separate primary and backup copies) 3 Different copies of data (1 primary, 2 backups) 1 of which is off site (in the cloud using BaaS or DRaaS) Cloud Connect solves the off-site issue and makes the back-up recoverable to IaaS, DRaaS or on-prem via BaaS.
- 5. • Don’t want to deal with cost and complexity of off-site • Want to react flexibly to changing requirements • Need to deal with growing amounts of data • No patience for downtime or data loss • Off-site tape doesn’t enable the Always-On Business B/DRaaS makes sense Enable the Always-On EnterpriseTM Provision IT services faster Strengthen security and control Lower operational costs 24/7 operations No patience for downtime and data loss Growing amount of data
- 6. A technology that allows a Service Provider to easily set up and maintain a secure multi-tenant environment for hosting off-site backup-ups and replicated VMs What’s Veeam Cloud Connect ?
- 7. Leverage cloud-based Backup & Disaster Recovery • No up-front investments in off-site DC/hardware • Flexible resource usage, Pay-as-you-go • SLA-proven • Cloud Connect can go beyond just an off-site backup copy Cloud Connect is a logical choice
- 8. • Cloud Connect is a managed B/DRaaS Solution • No DR datacenter, no VPN or leased line • Secure and WAN-optimized data transfer • Restore data to on-prem environment • Used by both customer and service provider Cloud Connect recap
- 9. Cloud Connect Backup different mediacopies off site cloud
- 12. Use Case 1: Migrate on-prem tenant workloads to IaaS
- 13. • Onboarding new IaaS Customers • Datacenter Migration Projects Use Case
- 14. • Tenant needs to have an on-prem installation • Preferably, a local staging repository • Decent bandwidth to the Service Provider • VMs running on a Compatible hypervisor Tenant Requirements
- 15. • Cloud Connect Reference Architecture Service Provider Requirements
- 16. Use Case 2: Migrate workloads cross-platform to IaaS
- 17. • Builds on the previous Use Case Use Case
- 18. • Leverages Veeam Agent on source machine • Needs on-prem Veeam installation for staging (Backup Copy Job) to Cloud connect • Might need an offline pre-seed (USB-Disk, SMB share, etc.) • Not all source operating systems are supported) Tenant Requirements
- 19. • Requirements for Service provider Service Provider Requirements
- 20. Use Case 3: DRaaS for on-prem workloads
- 21. • Leverage Cloud Connect as DRaaS Use Case
- 22. • Replication and Cloud Hosts • Failover via hosted self-service web portal • Transparent network extension (overlay network) • Failover (full / partial) and failback • Failover testing • Single-click failover using Failover Plans • Offline replica seeding, seed from backup Cloud Connect v9 highlights
- 23. • Replication like you’re used to in Veeam • Cloud Host is the replication target for jobs • Hardware Plans define underlying resources Replication and Cloud Host
- 24. • Single-click failover with pre-tested plans • Restore to anywhere (on-prem, IaaS, 3rd party) Self-service Web Portal
- 25. • Integrated: deployed and managed via console • Single-port tunnel through Cloud Gateway • Works between sites with partial failover • Works with failover testing Transparent network extension
- 26. Bonus Use Case: Veeam Cloud Connect for Enterprise Veeam Cloud Connect for Enterprise (on Azure)
- 27. • See blogpost on http://era-cloud.blogspot.com/ for demo by Tanawit Chansuchai : Demo
- 28. Veeam® Cloud Connect for the Enterprise enables businesses to act as a disaster recover (DR) service provider to deliver off-site backup and replication services to internal customers. This eliminates complexity by removing the need to maintain a VPN connection and it improves security by encapsulating all backup and management traffic into a single port.It creates the ability to send Veeam backups and replicas from multiple locations to a primary data center —or archive these backups directly to a public cloud, while providing the flexibility and control to choose the enterprise backup and recovery strategy that best meets your needs Enterprise Cloud Backup and Disaster Recovery
- 29. • Veeam Cloud Connect for the Enterprise provider and efficient way to Backup to a primary data center or public cloud
- 30. • Easily deploy Veeam-powered backups to Azure. With a single server and in just 30 minutes, you can provision a trial version of Veeam Cloud Connect for the Enterprise directly from the Microsoft Azure Marketplace. • Quickly copy off-site backups to Azure. Veeam’s modern backup architecture makes it easy to transfer enterprise backups to Azure with forever-forward, incremental backups, as well as (grandfather-father-son) retention policies and built-in job copy functions.

- 31. CONCLUSION
- 32. • BaaS, DRaaS and IaaS are complementary • Cloud Connect is a comprehensive solution for BasS and DRaaS • Look for use cases beyond ‘just’ BaaS and DRaaS like the ones discussed today for onboarding, migration and disaster recovery Take aways
- 33. • Automate tasks and expose to tenant • Strive for complete transparency and self-service (Don’t lock in your customer!) • Strive for perfection • Differentiate yourself on additional services Take aways
