Design of VxRail with VBR
This section discusses two design scenarios of VxRail with VBR—that is, data protection of VMs in a local VxRail cluster and two VxRail clusters across two sites.
VxRail with VBR in a site
If you plan to design the data protection and recovery of VMs in a local VxRail cluster, you need to consider and collect the following information:
- What are your RPO and Recovery Time Objective (RTO) requirements for the data backup and recovery of VMs in the VxRail cluster? Both factors can affect your choice of backup mode for the backup policy of VMs—for example, network mode or SAN storage mode.
- What are the daily change rate and the data retention polices?
- How many protected VMs are required for backup recovery in the VxRail cluster? For example, if there are 75 VMs that need to be protected by VBR, the VBR server requires 75 instance licenses for Veeam Availability Suite Universal Subscription (VUL).
- For the software compatibility...
