The Keys to Virtual Backup Excellence

The Challenges

51
Percent of IT pros say virtualized server backups do not meet or only partially meet business goals for restores and recovery

87
Percent of CIOs say recovery times from large-scale disaster are growing with the number of business-critical servers in the enterprise

Began move to virtualization with five VMware

After
Environment
ExaGrid appliance with Veeam Backup and

ESX hosts and 60 virtual machines (VMs) VM snapshots, backed up to tape, stored on SAN

Recovery

Backup Window
Took at least six hours to recover one Microsoft

Backup Window
Fast, reliable and verifiable VM backups

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 ExaGrids landing zone architecture is a winning combination for flexibility and scalability. Kelly Bott, Field Technician/Technical Specialist
