Customer case studies

Challenges of Server Virtualization

Monitor, manage backups on growing # of VMs

Issues when managing multiple guest OS’s

Lack ability to see down to individual VMs

Hassles, limitations of tape backup

These challenges are driving your customers’ need for better tools

to reliably and easily back up and restore virtual machines

Unified data protection across hypervisors

Same data

protection

infrastructure

for VMware

and Hyper-V

Single console

for VMware

and Hyper-V






v6 features


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)

Right-click

to restore one…

Find the

file

… 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.)

New with version 6.5

Veeam Explorer for Exchange

Windows Server 2012 with Hyper-V

VMware vSphere 5.1

Veeam Explorer for Exchange ● Included with Veeam Backup Free Edition

● Strengthens free product portfolio with

Veeam

● Ultimate way to try this capability

● Provides critical features:

− Search capabilities (discovery)

− Recovery to MSG, PST or new item

send

Before

Environment

Began move to virtualization with five VMware

ESX hosts and 60 virtual machines (VMs)

VM snapshots, backed up to tape, stored on SAN

Backup Window

Took at least six hours to recover one Microsoft

SQL Server database.

Case Study – Hoffman Construction

After

Environment

• ExaGrid appliance with Veeam Backup and

Recovery

Backup Window

• Fast, reliable and verifiable VM backups

• Backups completed in less than half the time

• Restores VM from backup in minutes to minimize

downtime and disruption.

Results

• Restored 100 percent of VMs almost instantly with

no user disruption after a major SAN crash and

loss of all data stored on VMs

“The integration of Veeam Backup & Replication and ExaGrid’s landing zone architecture is a

winning combination for flexibility and scalability.”

Kelly Bott, Field Technician/Technical Specialist

• Situation: struggling with Backup Exec going to tape, saw presentation with ExaGrid & Veeam. Downloaded Veeam software, saw how well it worked.

• Solution: ExaGrid (10TB) and Veeam, eliminated tape hassles

University

• Situation: Customer was backing up to 24-tape library; 90% of servers are virtualized; slow backups and unreliable DR.

• Solution: ExaGrid and Veeam; now have faster, reliable backups and recovery, saving hours a week in backup maintenance

County Government

• Situation: forklift upgrade from EMC Data Domain, customer loved Veeam and didn’t want to change.

• Solution: ExaGrid (13TB) and Veeam; saving valuable IT budget Law Firm

• Situation: customer moving from Backup Exec (with tape) to Veeam. ExaGrid chosen over EMC/Data Domain due to scalability, performance, integration with Veeam and Backup Exec

• Solution: ExaGrid (3TB) and Veeam ; faster, more reliable backup
