A French multinational holding and conglomerate specializing in luxury goods, managed 75 prestigious brands and headquartered in Paris.

Customers are looking for a disaster recovery (DR) solution that enables the failover of virtual machines (VMs) from the production server at their office location to the standby server at the data centre. The customer's objective is to restore the system at the DR site when the production server fails, with the goal of resuming the system normal operations within half a day and minimizing prolonged downtime caused by production server failures. So that, we suggested the Veeam backup and DR solution. Veeam is a popular backup and data management solution which offers several advantages:

1. Comprehensive Data Protection: Veeam provides a comprehensive backup solution that covers virtualized environments, physical servers, cloud-based workloads, and even endpoints like laptops and desktops. This allows organizations to have a single backup solution for their diverse IT infrastructure.

   
   

2. High-Speed Backups and Replication: Veeam utilizes advanced backup and replication technologies such as Changed Block Tracking (CBT) and WAN acceleration to provide fast backup and replication processes. This minimizes the impact on production systems and reduces backup windows, ensuring that critical data is protected efficiently.

   
   

3. Flexible Recovery Options: Veeam offers a wide range of recovery options to meet different recovery point objectives (RPOs) and recovery time objectives (RTOs). These options include full VM recovery, file-level recovery, application-item recovery, and even recovery to different platforms such as VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V, or AWS/Azure cloud environments.

   
   

4.
