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

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

10. Cloud Connect Replication

11. Cloud Connect Replication

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

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
