Veeam Backup & Replication

In this Veeam Backup & Replication v11: Architecture and Design training course, is focused on teaching IT professionals how to effectively architect a Veeam solution through attaining technical excellence following the Veeam Architecture Methodology used by Veeam’s own Solution Architects.

During this course, attendees will explore the goals of requirement gathering and infrastructure assessment, and use that information to design Veeam solutions within team exercises.

Attendees will analyze considerations when turning logical designs into physical designs and describe the obligations to the implementation team that will implement that 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.
