Sizing Veeam Cloud Connect using Big Data
One of the most common question I receive in regard to Veeam Cloud Connect, is “What’s the size I should configure for my Veeam server”?

Upgrading Veeam Availability Console to the new Veeam Service Provider Console v4
Last week, Veeam released the new Veeam Service Provider Console v4, the latest version of what was previously called Veeam Availability Console. I run my own VAC (now VSPC) environment, so I decided to take the opportunity to upgrade my lab to the latest version to learn the upgrade process.
Set a static IP in VeeamPN appliance
For a new chapter of my book on Veeam Availability Console, I created a second virtual datacenter and I needed to connect the two of them together with a vpn. I have many options, like using the embedded ipsec capabilities of the NSX Edge i have at both sites, as they both run vCloud Director, but I decided to use Veeam Powered Network, in order to use this opportunity to learn more about it. And the first thing I’ve learned was how to configure the appliance with a static IP address.

Veeam Availability Console and agent automatic installation

Configure Veeam N2WS copies to S3 and export them via backup copies
In my previous post, I talked about Veeam N2WS Backup and Recovery (known previously as CPM) and how to configure it to protect different AWS accounts. Now that the configuration is ready, it’s time to protect the virtual machines, and to export them into S3 so that we can have an offsite copy using Veeam Backup & Replication.
