You have a Veeam Backup and Replication server. Here is a quick view of part of its architecture: …Veeam-Topology.jpg People like it. However, when the below gets exposed in an environment with any type of scale, the true costs of its implementation are very apparent. This is what some “modern” backup software vendors require in a real production deployment. Now imagine that burden can be multiplied – not by 2X or 3X – but by 8X or more. So we’ve just uncovered a significant burden on your life. It’s easy to write this fact off and say management is the same across all vendors…but that’s simply not true anymore. The number of products and components you have to manage and maintain is directly proportional to your management cost. You have potentially SIX vendors and products with different support contracts, varying levels of quality, and every one of them requires regular management and maintenance. Backup software (maybe Veritas, Commvault, or Veeam).Maybe a hypervisor (typically VMware or Hyper-V).Backup storage (maybe internal, maybe a separate NAS, maybe an expensive Data Domain or ExaGrid because your backup vendor has poor deduplication).Take a look at how many vendors are in the backup solution:
Go! Unfortunately, we all know it’s not that easy…and status quo may be the reason you miss out on that raise. It’s the traditional way of implementing backup.
In many cases, you either have – or are evaluating – a Windows-based backup solution. This blog will identify and describe your hidden costs, and give you access to a simple calculator that will quantify them for you. Sure you could just renew your current contract, or try to pit another vendor against the incumbent, but when is the last time you took a hard look at the true cost of your backup solution? At ALL the costs related to backup and continuity? And did you know that you can actually simplify your solution and reduce the cost by more than 50%? Your backup and DR solution costs too much.Įvery few years, you get the illustrious job of reviewing your backup and disaster recovery strategy.
