Session Title:

Creating the Fastest Possible Backups Using VMware Consolidated Backup -A Design Blueprint

Session Abstract:

 

As your VMware Infrastructure grows, it becomes clear that your backup environment needs to scale as well as your ESX server. Configured properly, NetBackup for VMware combined with VMware Consolidated Backup provide an extremely fast and low impact backup and restore technology. NetBackup has recently engineered and benchmarked a NetBackup with VMware Consolidated Backup configuration designed to protect over 10 TB of virtual machine data from a single Backup Proxy. Based on information collected during this benchmark, we will detail a systematic approach to designing, testing, configuring and sizing your VMware Consolidated Backup environment. This session will highlight:

  • * How to select the proper Backup Proxy hardware

  • * Accurate methods for benchmarking the Backup Proxy environment

  • * Free utilities that can be used to test performance

  • * Different deduplication technologies that can be employed

  • * Plus many hints and tips for configuring optimal backup and recovery performance with NetBackup in a VMware environment
