Veeam on bare metal server introduction

The Veeam® on bare metal server for IBM Cloud® for VMware Solutions service can be used as a dedicated and all-in-one backup solution for VMware vCenter Server® instances or VMware Regulated Workloads.

The Veeam on bare metal server solution is built on standard IBM Cloud bare metal servers. The servers have a dedicated compute and a local dedicated storage. This solution provides a backup infrastructure that is physically isolated from other IBM Cloud Storage services.

The solution uses Direct Attached Storage (DAS), that is, local SATA disks with RAID 6 attached to the bare metal server, as the Storage Repository for backups. For scaling up, customers can add more proxy servers to the solution to add backup capacity and performance. They can also use IBM Cloud Object Storage together with Veeam's scale-out backup repository functions for redundancy (copying backups) or long-term retention (offload backups).
