9. Introducing:Built-in WAN Acceleration What is WAN Acceleration?The appliance … that speeds up the time it takes for information to flow back and forth across the WAN by using compression and data deduplication techniques to reduce the amount of data that needs to be transmitted. Basically, an accelerator works by caching duplicate files or parts of files so they can be referenced instead of having to be sent across the WAN again. What is not WAN Acceleration?Delta transfer, deduplication, traffic compression, TCP/IP optimizations, backup seeding is notWAN acceleration… don’t be mislead by marketing! Only true WAN acceleration can provide up to 50x reduction in data transfer (comparing to simply copying backup files).

13. Built-in WAN AccelerationHow It Works Target siteWAN accelerator Source siteWAN accelerator 50x faster WAN optimized TCP/IP Cache Cache Write Fingerprints Populate Read We can see the future! Off-site backup repository Primary backup repository

14. Built-in WAN AccelerationPerformance Scale Up to 100 Mbps per pair: should be able to saturate 10 Mbps WAN links with basic hardware Primary bottleneck: WAN accelerator’s cache storage speed, fast SSD cache is the king Recommendations SSD cache: the most important piece, makes huge difference! Decent primary backup storage: incremental runs performance Decent target backup storage: lookup, full backup file transformation, GFS processing and health check performance

15. Built-in WAN AccelerationWhen to use? Links between 50 Mbps and 100 Mbps HDD cache: use for workloads with high change rates on small blocks (Exchange, SQL, other databases)SSD cache: use for any workloads Links < 50 Mbps Always use, unless VM change rate is minimal Links > 100 Mbps Use when primarily concern is bandwidth savings rather than data transfer timeConsider deploying multiple WAN Accelerator pairs

16. Built-in WAN AccelerationDeployment Considerations Network infrastructure No changes required (transport port is configurable) Global network traffic throttling rules still apply One to many deployment scenarios Single WAN accelerator in HQ, multiple WAN accelerators at branches: acceleration works both ways Existing general purpose WAN accelerators Configure Veeam traffic bypass in the settings, get best of both worlds!

18. Built-in WAN AccelerationWhere Part of new Backup Copy job Optional, direct transfer also available vNext: Replication Can seed replicas from backup copies in 7.0

19. Backup Copy JobWhat is Backup Copy job? Efficiently “copy” backups onsite and offsite Forever incremental: synthetic full backups managed at target, validation (and remediation) built-in Selective: specify VMs, frequency and retention Simple: eliminates need for multiple backup jobs, scripted file copies and storage-based file replication Do not take the name literally! It’s NOT about copying backup files, but rather VMs and restore points.

20. Backup Copy JobArchiving Automatically maintain backup archives aka GFS (Grandfather-Father-Son) retention

21. Backup Copy JobReference Architecture Optimize your backup infrastructure forfast backups and restores, and low cost Use fast storage for primary backups and restores Control costs by limiting the number of restore points Keep restore points archive on lower cost (per TB) storage Backup Copy Backup Copy Secondary backup storage (onsite) Backup Productionstorage Primarybackup storage Secureconnection Secondary backup storage (offsite)

22. Disruptive innovation Built-in WAN Acceleration High Performance Backup from Storage Snapshots

23. Backup from Storage SnapshotsWhy Reduce impact on production VMs and storage Improve RPOs – for both backups and replicas Leverage storage capabilities LucaDell’Oca@dellock6 After 3 days of backup runs I should say it: @veeam VBR7 + parallel processing + SAN snapshots is deadly combination

24. Backup from Storage SnapshotsWhy > 1 hour

25. Backup from Storage SnapshotsHow It Works How you think it works How Veeam Works Store Backup server Backup repository Direct from snapshot:Nodatastore mountNo VMFS resignaturingNo temp VM registrationNo host configuration cleanup Leveraging VMware CBT Up to 20x fasterpatent pending Backup Backup Production host Snapshot Mount LUN Productionstorage Temporary host

26. Backups from Storage SnapshotsHow Direct storage access (no proxying through ESXi) No mount, resignature, VM registration, or clean up Using VMware Changed Block Tracking (CBT) Easy to setupA single checkbox! Instant VMware snapshot commit Up to 20x faster than the competition Result

34. Processing Engine Enhancements Honestly, I’m as excited about these “under the hood” improvements just about as much as the everything else combined. We are seeing almost unbelievable improvements on large VMs. It seemed too good to be true.  In my opinion [parallel processing] may very well be the biggest feature of this release.  The scale [v7 provides] that we’re seeing in testing is pretty amazing. Very, very impressed with [CPU usage reduction] on backup proxy servers. VMs with multiple disks process a few TIMES faster, so snapshots don’t grow large and snapshot commit is no longer a painin the … !

35. Top 3 Parallel processing (and better than you ever expected) Data mover improvements (64-bit, memory) New compression algorithm (hardware accelerated) By far, the most impressive part of the testing was the performance of the backup engine.  The partner had installed on a fairly old 4 core physical server that did not have direct SAN access, so backups were over network mode via 2 bonded 1GbE links.  v6 did about 20 MB/s with CPU load around ~40% in this lab.v7 absolutely blew thru the backups, running at an average transfer rate of 200MB/s while task manager showed only ~5% CPU usage.  It seemed too good to be true.  We were effectively storage bottlenecked with NBD mode.
