Veeam Backup & Replication v12.1: Architecture and Design (VMCA)

Module 1: Review 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

 

Module 2: Conceptual Design

• Review scenario and data from the 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

 

Module 3: 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

 

Module 4: Physical Design

• Convert the logical design into a physical design

• Physical hardware sizing

• Create a list of physical Veeam backup components

 

Module 5: 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

 

Module 6: Validation and Iteration

• Provide framework for how to test the design

• Further develop the design according to a modification scenario
