Overview
The three-day Veeam Backup & Replication v12.1: Architecture and Design training course is focused on teaching IT professionals how to effectively architect a Veeam solution by attaining technical excellence through following the Veeam architecture methodology used by Veeam’s own solution architects.
Over the course of these three days, attendees will explore the process of requirement gathering and infrastructure assessment and use that information to design Veeam solutions within team exercises. Attendees will also analyze considerations when turning conceptual designs into logical designs, make those designs physical, and then describe obligations to the implementation team that will implement 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.
Attendees should expect to contribute to team exercises, present designs, and defend their decision making.
Prerequisites
Ideally VMCE-certified, attendees should have extensive commercial experience with Veeam and a broad sphere of technical knowledge of servers, storage, networks, virtualization, and cloud environments.
At least, a candidate should be able to:
• Explain core concepts from the Veeam Backup & Replication v12.1: Configure, Manage and Recover course.
• Configure common Veeam components.
• Operate Veeam Backup & Replication Console.
• Optimize an existing backup environment after studying its current implementation.
• Describe repository types and usage priorities (i.e., fast cloning, dedupe, object storage, data flow recommendations).
• Awareness of backup targets for Veeam Backup for cloud products and Veeam Plug-ins for enterprise applications.
• Have extensive technical experience with Veeam.
Delegates will learn how to
• Design and architect a Veeam solution in a real-world environment.
• Describe best practices, review existing infrastructures, and assess business/project requirements.
• Identify relevant infrastructure metrics and perform component (i.e., storage, CPU, memory) quantity sizing.
• Provide implementation and testing guidelines that are in-line with designs.
• Innovatively address design challenges and pain points by matching appropriate Veeam Backup & Replication features with requirements.

How do QA’s virtual classroom courses work?
Our virtual classroom courses allow you to access award-winning classroom training, without leaving your home or office. Our learning professionals are specially trained on how to interact with remote attendees and our remote labs ensure all participants can take part in hands-on exercises wherever they are.
We use the WebEx video conferencing platform by Cisco. Before you book, check that you meet the WebEx system requirements and run a test meeting to ensure the software is compatible with your firewall settings. If it doesn’t work, try adjusting your settings or contact your IT department about permitting the website.
How do QA’s online courses work?
QA online courses, also commonly known as distance learning courses or elearning courses, take the form of interactive software designed for individual learning, but you will also have access to full support from our subject-matter experts for the duration of your course. When you book a QA online learning course you will receive immediate access to it through our e-learning platform and you can start to learn straight away, from any compatible device. Access to the online learning platform is valid for one year from the booking date.
All courses are built around case studies and presented in an engaging format, which includes storytelling elements, video, audio and humour. Every case study is supported by sample documents and a collection of Knowledge Nuggets that provide more in-depth detail on the wider processes.
When will I receive my joining instructions?
Joining instructions for QA courses are sent two weeks prior to the course start date, or immediately if the booking is confirmed within this timeframe. For course bookings made via QA but delivered by a third-party supplier, joining instructions are sent to attendees prior to the training course, but timescales vary depending on each supplier’s terms.
