Many to One WAN Acceleration Question

[BCT-Tech]

We are a Veeam partner and Cloud Connect provider. We have Cloud Connect setup for different Clients. Currently, we have our WAN accelerator setup with one name that all Clients connect to, but separate credentials and repositories.

For the "Many to One WAN Acceleration" - can the WAN Global Cache be used for multiple Clients and keep their data separate?

What is the best way to setup the target WAN accelerator & global cache for multiple Clients?

[foggy]

Yes, it can. Since global cache is unique per pair of source and target WAN accelerators, a new global cache folder is created on target WAN accelerator for each client.

And remember, the value you set into the wizard is related to a single relationship, so for example 100GB for 5 users will consume in reality 500GB.
Also, since you are in the VCP program, I'd suggest you to request access to the VCP forums dedicated to service providers.
To apply for the VCP forum, go into the User Control Panel of this forum, select User Groups in the tabs, select "Veeam Cloud Provider" and finally the "Join selected" option. As soon as your email address is verified to be part of the Service Provider domain, your application will be approved.

Yes, it can. Since global cache is unique per pair of source and target WAN accelerators, a new global cache folder is created on target WAN accelerator for each client.

So it cannot work as a universal global cache? Say for caching the Server 2012 OS data for multiple Clients that are backing up Server 2012?

It can, even though multiple folders will be created (one per Accelerators' pair).

Did you mean to say "it cannot", Vladimir?

In the specific example above, each client's cache will contain Server 2012 OS blocks.

Caches are not shared between clients for security purposes.

I meant cannot, indeed. The right message should have been "It cannot, even multiple folders would be created (one per Accelerators pair"). Sorry for confusion.

Also, we have the discussion about the very same matter in our VCP subfroum; it's certainly worth registering there.

Thanks.
