Veeam Backup and Replication v12.1: Architecture and Design

The three-day Veeam Backup & Replication v12.1: Architecture and Design training course is focused on teaching IT professionals how to effectively architect a Veeam solution by attaining technical excellence through following the Veeam architecture methodology used by Veeam’s own solution architects. Over the course of these three days, attendees will explore the process of requirement gathering and infrastructure assessment and use that information to design Veeam solutions within team exercises. Attendees will also analyze considerations when turning conceptual designs into logical designs, make those designs physical, and then describe obligations to the implementation team that will implement design. Other topics covered will include security, governance, and validation impacts when architecting a Veeam solution and how to build these into the overall design. Attendees should expect to contribute to team exercises, present designs, and defend their decision making.
