Management and Data Protection For VMWare and Hyper-V
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, andIT 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, responsesand automation
For the virtualization team, the pressure is on
Performance and availability
Optimization of configuration and utilization of resources
Integration with IT processes and systems
Management-level reporting
Avoid the expense of another monitoring

Existing tools aren’t doing the job
Traditional backup
● Agent in each VM
● Full VM recovery is complex and tedious
● Expensive
● Does not guarantee recoverability
Veeam backup
● Agentless
● Instant VM Recovery
● Cost effective
● SureBackup verification
Pile on the goodies!

Veeam Backup & Replication™
Back to the Basics:
Backup AND Replication
Image based / Block level
Change Block Tracking
VSS/VM Tools Integrated
Snapshot based
Agents
File Level Recovery
Deduplication / Compression
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 troubleshootthe problem

How it works
Veeam Backup Server
Fenced-off Environment
Read-only
SureBackup
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 image-
based backups
Included at no extra charge
Also includes optional synthetic full backups to managedata volume
Single license, install and console
Same data protection infrastructurebut still hypervisor-specific (e.g., volume- vs. VM-level snapshot)
Unified data protection across hypervisors
Same data protectioninfrastructure for VMwareand Hyper-V
Single console 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 IFLRIFLR = 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)
Right-click to restore one…
Find thefile
… or several files
Web-based
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.”
– Cameron HaightResearch Vice President
