Enterprise Manager Design

[Hasslehogg]

Hi all

i was wondering if you could give me your advice/thoughts on the following.

We have multiple virtual Veeam B&R servers across the globe and was wanting to install Enterprise Manager in 1 location to centrally manage the whole globe but i wasnt sure what kind of data or how much traffic would go across the WAN from the remote B&R servers to Enterprise Manager.

If there is a lot of traffic i will go with a Enterpise Manager in each region (AMER/APAC/EMEA) but just wanted your thoughts please. I couldnt find anything in the FAQ on this, if its there and i have missed then i apologise

thanks in advance as always

Hi Michael, there are two types of traffic:

1. Jobs session stats: this one is minimal
2. Guest file indexes, if you have indexing enable in the jobs: this can be heavy

But I guess you are not using guest file system indexing at this time, because you do not have Enterprise Manager deployed, so you should be good.

Thanks!

thanks Gostev

we will be enabling it though on all jobs, so it sounds best to have 1 per region?

thanks

Depends on the amount of indexed files in your VMs.

Yes, one per region is what I would if your WAN links are pretty bad. But there are other considerations too, like do you want a single pane of glass, or all regions seeing only "their" backup servers.
