LARGE-SCALE PROJECT
NetBackup to Veeam Availability Suite Migration
Problem – The current NetBackup environment was out of date and unable to support Linux v7 or Windows 2012 or 2016 servers. This was hindering our backup ability and our OS upgrade projects.
Challenges – Budget constraints, resource availability and lack of shared storage in some data centers
Solution – Implementation of Veeam Availability Suite in all of our data centers and added additional shared storage devices where needed to support the new Veeam infrastructure. This gave us the ability to backup both physical and virtual machines completely with multiple recovery points going back weeks to months. This also allowed us to progress on our OS upgrade projects.
