New colo design review

[JHuston]

We're building out a colo to move our production VM's (~100VM's, 30TB) to. Test/Dev as well as our NetApp AltaVault will stay at our current data center.

I'm planning on having a Cisco UCS S3260 at the colo for a primary target. Nightly backup copy jobs will go over our 2x1Gbps links back to our AltaVault at the current site to have a local copy of data as well as getting them out to Azure.

I currently have the " read full restore point from source" selected in my copy jobs. I'd leave that checked even if copying over the WAN/PTP between sites correct?

Also, would the WAN accelerator be a good option in this scenario? We're talking some large restore points spread throughout the week, some as large as 4TB fulls. These finish up overnight currently in our local setup over 10Gb. The bottleneck is the actual AltaVault ingesting data.

Thanks in advance!

I think what you have laid out is good.

One thing I would note is that the Veeam Built-In WAN Acceleration is not really necessary in this situation. The Built-In WAN Acceleration is targeted for low speed, high latency or unreliable links.
