The 2-day, Veeam® Backup & Replication™ v11: 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.
Course description:
During the 2 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.
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:
1) Introduction:
• Review the architecture principlesEx
• plore what a successful architecture looks like
• Review Veeam’s architecture methodology
2) Discovery:
• Analyze the existing environment
• Uncover relevant infrastructure metrics
• Uncover assumptions and risks
• Identify complexity in the environment
3) 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
4) 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
5) Physical / tangible design:
• Convert the logical design into a physical design
• Physical hardware sizing
• Create a list of physical Veeam backup components
6) 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
7) Validation and Iteration:
• Provide framework for how to test the design
• Further develop the design according to a modification scenario
Target audience:
Senior Engineers and Architects responsible for creating architectures for Veeam environments
