Veeam Backup & Replication v7, v8 (New)

Number 1 for backing up virtual machines

Veeam® Backup & Replication ™ makes it possible efficient, easy-to-use and affordable recovery virtualized applications and data. This comprehensive solution combines the functions of data backup and replication, increases the usefulness of backups and offers an innovative method of data protection in VMware vSphere and Microsoft Hyper-V environments. With a single license, you can use the integrated console to operate the entire virtual infrastructure, using industry-leading features such as instant file recovery and improved virtual machine recovery, scalability, combined ("2-in-1") backup and replication mechanisms , built-in duplication, centralized management, and more. There are no fees for individual applications and VMs, or agents for licensing, deployment, and maintenance.

Veeam ONE

Efficient, easy-to-use and affordable monitoring and reporting

Veeam ONE ™ is a comprehensive solution that offers efficient and easy-to-use monitoring and reporting functions for VMware and Hyper-V environments. Veeam ONE provides full visibility into the entire virtual infrastructure, more efficient operation and better availability of the virtual environment, as well as more optimal configuration and use of virtual resources.

Veeam ONE combines the capabilities of Veeam Monitor ™, Reporter ™ and Business View ™ to provide the features that virtualization administrators need most:

• Real-time monitoring: Detailed, maintenance-free, 24/7 monitoring of your entire virtual infrastructure provides quick access to information on performance and availability problems, and an extensive knowledge base helps you quickly identify and fix the causes.
• Change Tracking: Log details of changes to your virtual infrastructure (who, what, where, when and how) to help you refine your change routines and analyze unexpected downtime due to certain changes.
• Documentation and Reporting: Automated and on-demand documentation and reporting of virtual infrastructure provide stakeholders with accurate and timely information.
• Capacity planning: Advanced analytical tools enable precise planning of computing capacity. Veeam ONE studies trends, identifies resource surpluses, and provides flexible what-if models. This creates reliable forecast forecasts and resource allocation recommendations to help you make informed decisions about your virtual infrastructure development.

Now an increasingly complex and business-critical VMware environment can be managed with Veeam, a recognized leader in virtualization management and data protection.

Veeam Management Pack ™ for VMware (SCOM)

Monitor VMware environments with Microsoft System Center Secure your investments with Microsoft System Center (SCOM) and manage your physical and virtual environments from a single console with Veeam MP. Nworks Management provides detailed, scalable, agentless monitoring and management of your VMware infrastructure directly from Microsoft System Center, eliminating the need for a separate monitoring platform.

Brocade Communications Systems as the undisputed leader in the Fiber Channel switch market has introduced solutions from the world of mass storage to a new generation of network switches designed to support Data Centers and private clouds by implementing the VCS Ethernet Fabric technology.   

When designing the VCS technology, the needs of customers were taken into account, such as:

• elimination of network barriers in the context of application performance,
• guarantee of service availability in the face of network disruptions and bottlenecks, the need for flexible network scaling with traffic growth and changes in architecture,
• the need to quickly adapt network services to the needs of applications in a private cloud environment,
• simplicity - "is supposed to work" with minimal interference from the administrator,
• support for cloud environments, including renting infrastructure to multiple entities, adjusting policies and automating processes in the cloud.

Compared to the classic hierarchical Ethernet structure, VCS technology provides higher performance, better link utilization, higher reliability and simplicity of architecture.
VCS technology is nothing more than clustering many physical switches to one logical one with all the consequences related to data transmission in the L2 layer inside the cluster. Clustering of switches is possible at distances of up to 200m. However, the specification also provides for clustering over long distances, up to 30km, with some limitations related to the number and type of ports and the availability of technology, in particular FCoE and iSCSI. A VCS cluster is one logical switch from a management point of view.

Multiple active data paths are allowed within a cluster. All paths transmit data, and traffic balancing is done for the entire structure at the level of individual packets. This guarantees optimal use of the infrastructure, fast switching in the event of failure of any element of the cluster, and easy scaling. Just add an extra connection and it works. The FCoE protocol is also available inside the entire cluster.

Standard switches and hosts can be connected to the cluster switches by means of multiple aggregated LAG connections without the risk of data loops, without the need to use the STP protocol, with all connections being transmissively active.

VCS clusters can be combined with each other treating each cluster as a single switch, obtaining a fully reliable, easy to manage, efficient architecture.

The VCS Fabric solution works with the VMWare environment to offer port profiling. The port profile includes FCoE, VLAN, QoS and security parameters. When migrating a virtual machine between physical hosts, the port profile migrates automatically between cluster switches along with the virtual machine.

Finally, an important point. VCS Fabric technology is available in the entire family of Brocade VDX Data Center Switches at the price of the switch, without additional licenses, and the entire cluster configures itself automatically when data links are connected.
