9. Topic 3, Veeam Financial Services



Solution Overview

Veeam Financial Services will replace the current backup solution with Veeam Backup & Replication. They plan to protect their virtual infrastructure in New York, San Francisco, London and Singapore. Each branch houses a single physical Windows server that will also need to be backed up. With their stance towards the cloud, Veeam Financial Services would also benefit from any cloud integration where possible. A user portal is also being developed that will enable limited self-service restores for its user base.



Business requirements

Any backup solution should leverage public cloud storage. Mission-critical applications should not be affected by backup processes. To reduce the workload on the backup management team, every possible way to automate the solution should be used. To meet regulatory requirements, backups must be retained for four years. Veeam Financial Services has plans to develop a self-service portal and integration with the new backup solution is required. Ticket creation in their current help desk system must be automated based on alerts generated. Local privacy and data locality laws must befollowed for each branch. Due to the confidential nature of internal financial data, all security features available in backup software should be utilized. Backups should be dynamically scoped to reduce administrative overhead. The backup solution should not require proprietary hardware or storage.

18. 1. Topic 1, Veeam Life and Indemnity



Executive Summary:

Veeam Life and Indemnity is expanding its existing Veeam backup infrastructure to protect additional virtual machines, physical server and NAS workloads at their Fresno, CA and Carson City, NY data centers.



The original installation and configuration of Veeam software occurred two years ago. Since the installation, the organization has grown, and as a result, the Veeam Infrastructure needs to be resized to accommodate the existing and new workloads.



For the past three months, Veeam Life and Indemnity has noticed that they are having issues with backups completing within the allotted backup window. Only 40% of backup jobs complete successfully, so they have broken the backups into two sets, and they run them on alternating days. They have also stopped all backups for their development environment.



In addition, the original configuration required a daily backup copy job, but to the issue with backups completing, this has been modified to run only on Sundays.



They have also noticed a degradation in storage performance and are having to purchase new storage on a quarterly basis to accommodate data growth.



Solution Concept:

Veeam Life and Indemnity is upgrading Veeam Backup & Replication to the last version. They are also replacing all legacy physical hardware and storage with current generation equipment. Veeam Life and Indemnity wants to be able to ensure that all backups, including production and dev test workloads, can run every night and that all backups complete within the required backup window. In addition, Veeam Life and Indemnity would like to run daily copy jobs to ensure that a copy of all backed up data resides at both physical sites.



Veeam Life and Indemnity has also expressed concern about the threat of ransomware. They have not experienced a data breach of any kind but would like to ensure the ability of recover should one occur.



Existing Technical Environment:

Veeam Life and Indemnity has VMware clusters in all locations.

These clusters are broken into two categories:

general use virtual workloads, and application specific workloads, such as MSSQL and Oracle.

All customer data is subject to government regulation and must be kept secure at all times.

Veeam Life and Indemnity has a proprietary CRM system that must be quiesced prior to backup.

All email is hosted in Office 365.

All database servers are virtualized.

All virtual machines are categorized as either gold, silver, or bronze, with different service-level agreements based on tier.

All backups currently encrypted in flight and at rest.

Internet connectivity at both sites is current 1 Gbps, with plans to increase to 2 Gbps soon.

All field sales reps are assigned a company laptop that runs a CRM client.

The LAN at each location supports up to 40 Gbps bandwidth.

All backups are currently written to Scaled-out Backup Repositories with each extent residing on a CIFS share.

Each department has its own vLAN, with a total of 30 vLANs for production traffic.

A single management vLAN is stretched between sites.

All unstructured data resides either on 10 NFS shares on the company’s incumbent NAS devices, or Windows file servers as file shares.

VMware uses vSAN for VM datastores.

All vLAN must traverse a firewall to communicate, and the backup network itself is no routable.

All network traffic between clusters is required to traverse a firewall.

The firewall devices can support up to 20 Gbps.



Business Requirements:

Due to limited manpower, all backups should be dynamically scope.

All backups must be copied across site outside of the current backup window to avoid any backup performance issues.

Due to the sensitivity of customer data, tier 1 helpdesk personnel must not be able to access these backups.

They should have access to restore non-customer data.

Backup administrators are subject toa rigorous background check and should be the only staff able to perform restores of confidential customer data.

For any legal issues, fast and timely discovery from backup data should be supported.

For security purposes, all storage should be hardened to prevent data breaches.

Remote sales staff should have the ability to start a backup oh their devices.

Due to regulatory requirements, audits must be performed periodically to ensure successful and consistent backups, as well adherence to security policies.



Technical Requirements:

All backups must complete within the hours of 5 p.m. to 8 a.m. local time

Backup copy jobs must successfully complete daily outside of the backup window.

Gold tier virtual machines have a recovery point objective of the one hour for image backup, and 15 minutes for traction log backup, with a recovery time objective of four hours.

Silver tier virtual machines have a recovery point objective of 24 hours, with a recovery time objective of eight hours.

Bronze tier virtual machines have a recovery point objective of seven days, with no defined recovery time objective.

NAS devices and file servers have a recovery point objective of four hours, with no specified recovery time objective.

Eight weekly backup, three monthly backups, and seven yearly backups should be retained for regulatory requirements.

All data must be encrypted in flight and rest.

Alternative decryption capabilities on encrypted backups must be possible in the event of lost passwords.

Role Based Access Control must be used to prevent unauthorized access to backup data.

New storage must be hardened to prevent intrusion, and if possible, the data written must be unchangeable to prevent ransomware attacks.

All backups must be scanned prior to any restore operations for malware.

All gold level systems must have a custom script run before restore to ensure compliance to specific legal statutes.

Gold tier backups must be tested to verify recoverability.

Only silver tier systems should be indexed during backups, with the exception of laptops belonging to the sales field.

All personal files on laptops should be excluded from backup All MSSQL server backups should exclude the H: drive.
