2 VEEAM OVERVIEW AllConnected leverages Veeam technology to offer a number of options to protect critical applications and systems. Cloud Connect Replication: SSL based Replication using Veeam s Cloud Connect technology is our primary offering. VPN Based Replication: Depending on the complexity and unique business needs of each client, AllConnected can develop solutions surrounding traditional VPNs.

6 WHY ALLCONNECTED? 1. Failover Planning and Development An important question to ask is: Do you know for sure that your failover solution will work during an actual disaster event? Although many Service Providers offer cloud resources to backup and replicate VMs, they often leave the failover planning and testing up to the client. At AllConnected our objective is to collaborate with each client to develop a tested and validated failover solution. Various levels of Failover Planning and Development services are available depending on each organization s requirements. For example, some client s look to us for a partial failover solution whereas others engage us to develop a full site failover plan.

8 2. Commitment to quality from beginning to end AllConnected s commitment to quality starts during the assessment process, then throughout the development of a DRaaS Solution, on to Onboarding and throughout the day to day Operations. Assessment Solution Proposal Onboarding Operational Excellence

9 Assessment Process: Quality starts with the initial discovery and assessment process where we seek to gather accurate information about each of our clients to determine their unique business needs.we believe that a quality assessment will result in a quality solution. We evaluate key data and metrics to develop our DRaaS solution: o RPO/RTO requirements o VM, Storage and Compute requirements o Partial vs Full Site Failover requirements o Network and Remote Access Architecture o Types of Application and Systems that require protection Figure 2a Portion of Assessment Worksheet DRaaS - Assessment Worksheet VM Inventory Client Name: Site Name: Version: 1.60 # of Servers # of VMs Memory CPU Storage Total Allocated (in GB) Storage Current Utilization (in GB) TOTALS 1 1 TOTALS General VM Info VM Resources VM Host Name Business Function / Application Role VM, HyperV VMWare Version (Needs to be 4.x or higher) OS Server Role (IIS, SQL, File, App) OS and Version Memory (In GB) CPU (Specs and Quantity) Total Server Data Size in GB Current Storage Utilzation (GB)

10 Solution Proposal: After gathering the necessary data during the assessment phase, a solution is developed for each client based on their unique needs. RPO, RTO, Application protection requirements, remote access methods, and storage and network configurations are all taken into account when designing the solution.

11 Onboarding Process: After the Proposal Solution has been signed, the Onboarding process promptly begins. Quality assurance processes are followed to ensure each onboarding effort consistently delivers on the developed solution.

12 Operational Excellence: Replication Management. NOC Monitoring and Alerts. Job Scheduling. RPO Management. Veeam Infrastructure Updates and Optimizations. Documentation. Incident and Problem Management. Those are just some of things you don t have to worry about since AllConnected has all of that covered as part of the DRaaS offering.
