Backup and high availability maintained across a hybrid estate — on-premises hypervisor clusters protected by Veeam, with Azure providing the off-site layer.

Overview

Backup and high availability maintained across a hybrid estate — on-premises hypervisor clusters protected by Veeam, with Azure providing the off-site layer.

02

Technical challenge

Protection had to span two very different platforms at once: on-premises VMware and Hyper-V workloads, and workloads already running in Azure — without leaving either side dependent on the other to recover.

03

Architecture

  • 01Veeam Backup & Replication covering on-premises VMware and Hyper-V workloads.
  • 02Hyper-V failover clustering and VMware high availability providing in-site resilience.
  • 03Azure Backup and Site Recovery extending protection beyond the data centre.
  • 04Layered model: primary infrastructure, high availability, on-premises backup, cloud backup, recovery.
04

Implementation

  • Maintained hybrid backup and high availability across Veeam, Hyper-V, VMware and Azure.
  • Operated failover clustering and high availability for virtualized workloads.
  • Used Azure Backup and Site Recovery for cloud-side protection.
  • Supported 99.9% service availability across production infrastructure.
05

Outcome

A layered protection model spanning on-premises and cloud, supporting 99.9% service availability across production infrastructure.
