3. Gartner Magic Quadrant

4. 5 Considerations of Data Deduplication

5. Traditional Inline Deduplication Falls Short
Data is deduplicated to disk
Slower ingest
Longer backup window
All data is stored in a deduplicated form
Slow restores and offsite tape copies
Slow VM boots
As data grows, only disk is added
Backup window grows as data grows
Ultimately forces a costly forklift upgrade

6. Fastest Backups and Shortest Backup Window
Unique landing zone
Write backups on the way to disk
Avoid compute-intensive deduplication
Adaptive deduplication
Benefits
No inline processes to slow backups
Fastest backups
Shortest possible backup window
Strong offsite RPO

7. Fast Restores, VM Boots in Seconds to Minutes
Landing Zone
Most recent backups are in an undeduplicated form
Eliminates data rehydration
Benefits
Restores as fast as disk
Tape copies as fast as disk
VM boots in seconds to minutes

8. Fixed Length Backup Window

9. Ingest Performance of Scale-Out vs Scale-Up

13. Fastest Veeam Ingest and VM Boots
Veeam Backup & Replication does the typical Veeam command and control – producing a snapshot
Veeam Backup Proxy pulls data from the snapshot
Veeam Backup Proxy and Accelerated Data Mover use TCP session(s) to stream backup data – this streaming is optimized for VM backups – e.g. block sizes, write sizes, etc. Takes full advantage of higher NIC speeds like 10Gbps.
Accelerated Data Mover running inside the ExaGrid appliance does physical I/O to ExaGrid disk (RAID-6) subsystem.
Benefits:
Faster backup because streaming from Veeam Backup Proxy to Accelerated Data Mover is “Veeam code talking to Veeam code” and is optimized for streaming backup data, unlike CIFS which is a file sharing protocol.
30% Faster than CIFS
Veeam job statistics now tend to show much lower “target” costs

14. Fastest Recoveries from Veeam Synthetic Fulls
Veeam Synthetic Full backups allow Veeam to synthesize a periodic full backup rather than having to pull the full amount of data from the virtual infrastructure. You want periodic fulls to improve restore times.
Veeam Backup & Replication does the typical Veeam command and control – producing a snapshot – to do the final incremental
Veeam Backup Proxy pulls only changed data from the snapshot (its an incremental)
After incremental completes, Veeam Backup Proxy commands Accelerated Data Mover to do the synthetic full
The Accelerated Data Mover has direct access to all the Veeam backups on the ExaGrid disk (RAID-6) subsystem, so all the I/O to read then write the synthetic full backup is “local” to the Accelerated Data Mover and hence much faster – 6x (found by ESG Lab)
Data to assemble the synthetic full does NOT travel across the network between the ExaGrid and the Veeam Backup Proxy – one less bottleneck or resources freed for other things
Benefits:
Much faster synthetic full – 6x or more
Less network impact during synthetic full
Users who previously wanted to utilize Veeam synthetic fulls (because they don’t use up valuable virtual infrastructure like the Veeam Active full does) but couldn’t because they took too long can now “have their cake and eat it too”.
