Veeam Backup and Replication v12.1: Architecture and Design

The three-day, Veeam® Backup & Replication™ v12.1: Architecture and Design training course is focused on teaching IT professionals how to effectively architect a Veeam solution through attaining technical excellence following the Veeam Architecture Methodology used by Veeam’s own Solution Architects.

During the three days, attendees will explore the goals of requirement gathering and infrastructure assessment and use that information to design Veeam solutions within team exercises. Attendees will analyze considerations when turning logical designs into physical designs and describe the obligations to the implementation team that will implement that design. Other topics covered will include security, governance and validation impacts when architecting a Veeam solution and how to build these into the overall design.

Attendees should expect to contribute to team exercises, present designs and defend decision making.

Audience

Senior Engineers and Architects responsible for creating architectures for Veeam environments.

Prerequisites

Attendees should:

Ideally be VMCE certified
Have extensive commercial experience with Veeam and a broad sphere of technical knowledge of servers, storage, networks, virtualization and cloud environment

Reccommended prerequisite course:

Veeam Backup & Replication v12: Configure, Manage and Recover

Course goals

After completing this course you should be able to:

Design and architect a Veeam solution in a real-world environment
Describe best practices, review an existing infrastructure and assess business/project requirements
Identify relevant infrastructure metrics and perform component (storage, CPU, memory) quantity sizing
Provide implementation and testing guidelines in line with designs
Innovatively address design challenges and pain points, matching appropriate Veeam Backup & Replication features with requirements

Course outline

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 design

Convert the logical design into a physical design
Physical hardware sizing
Create a list of physical Veeam backup components
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

Validation and Iteration

Provide framework for how to test the design
Further develop the design according to a modification scenario

Test certification

Completion of this course satisfies the prerequisite for taking the Veeam Certified Architect (VMCA) exam, the highest level of Veeam certification. VMCA certification proves knowledge of architecture and design concepts, highlighting the level of skill required to efficiently architect a Veeam solution in a range of real-world environments.
