VEEAM OVERVIEW

AllConnected leverages Veeam technology to offer a number of options to protect critical

applications and systems.

Cloud Connect Replication: SSL based Replication using Veeam’s Cloud Connect technology is

our primary offering.

VPN Based Replication: Depending on the complexity and unique business needs of each client,

AllConnected can develop solutions surrounding traditional VPNs.


1. Offsite Replication using Veeam Cloud Connect

a. Imaged Based VM Replication

b. Service Provider Model – SP provides resources (Compute and Storage)

c. Partial Site Failover ability with built-in Network Extension Appliance

d. Only need one Public IP

e. Built in WAN Acceleration available

f. Straightforward setup to connect to Service Provider


2. Offsite Replication using traditional VPN

a. Imaged Based Replication

b. Service Provider Model – SP provides resources (Compute and Storage)

c. Ability to design network architecture and recovery environment to address larger organizations with complex

network requirements, including various firewall requirements

d. Ability to develop partial and full site failover plans in collaboration with the client

Scenario: Server Failure at primary site. Failover to recovery environment.

Recovery Environment: Off site data center.

Demo: VM is spun up in offsite data center. Access to VM and data verified.


WHY ALLCONNECTED?

1. Failover Planning and Development

An important question to ask is: Do you know for sure that your failover solution will work during an

actual disaster event?

Although many Service Providers offer cloud resources to backup and replicate VMs, they often

leave the failover planning and testing up to the client.

At AllConnected our objective is to collaborate with each client to develop a tested and

validated failover solution.

Various levels of Failover Planning and Development services are available depending on each

organization’s requirements. For example, some client’s look to us for a partial failover solution whereas others engage us to develop a full site failover plan.

2. Commitment to quality from beginning to end

AllConnected’s commitment to quality starts during the assessment process, then throughout the

development of a DRaaS Solution, on to Onboarding and throughout the day to day Operations.

OnboardingAssessment Solution Proposal Operational Excellence


Assessment Process: Quality starts with the initial discovery and assessment process where we seek to

gather accurate information about each of our clients to determine their unique business needs .We

believe that a quality assessment will result in a quality solution.

We evaluate key data and metrics to develop our DRaaS solution:

o RPO/RTO requirements

o VM, Storage and Compute requirements

o Partial vs Full Site Failover requirements

o Network and Remote Access Architecture

o Types of Application and Systems that require protection

Solution Proposal: After gathering the necessary data during the assessment phase, a solution is

developed for each client based on their unique needs. RPO, RTO, Application protection

requirements, remote access methods, and storage and network configurations are all taken into

account when designing the solution.
