Data resilience and continuity
Commvault or Veeam implementation
Who it's for: a deployment, migration or full rebuild of the backup platform, from the rack to the first validated restore.
The problem: a backup platform is not judged on its software installation but on its full chain — a poorly cabled foundation or incomplete SAN zoning degrades performance long after go-live, and is paid for in backup windows that overrun.
What I do
- design of the target architecture: sizing of the foundation, of the roles and of the flows
- implementation of the infrastructure layer: servers, storage array, SAN switching and zoning, Commvault HyperScale appliance or Veeam repository
- connection to secondary storage and to the virtualisation layer
- software installation and configuration: CommServe, MediaAgent, proxies, gateways, configuration databases
- definition of policies, retention periods and immutability rules
- automation through workflows and APIs
- functional acceptance and documented restore tests
- operating documentation and team training
Deliverables
- platform in production, from hardware foundation to software configuration
- as-built architecture document, with flow diagrams and role matrix
- operating and escalation procedures
- acceptance report with validated restore tests
- skills transfer session
What changes
a platform operated by your own teams, documented and proven from go-live — not dependent on a supplier.
Prerequisites: hardware and licences procured, datacenter access, address ranges and network flows opened, an infrastructure contact available.
