Remote Site Bandwidth

[jstafford]

First, a little bit of background. I have a vCenter server hosted at my Head Office. This managed 2x ESXi host ats ~80 remote branches. Each remote branch backs up (replicates, actually) to local storage at that location.

I'm trying to understand why Veeam is so chatty to my vCenter server:

The netstat command is showing a connection between one of my Veeam boxes and my Central vCenter server.

My question is, why is it using so much bandwidth (My remote branches have a 10MBit pipe, so the Veeam.Backup.Manager.exe process is consuming all of the available bandwidth)? Even more confusing, the traffic is going from my vcenter to my veeam box... Needless to say, this kind of traffic multiplied by ~80 branches is putting enormous load on my not just my central vCenter server, but my whole WAN pipe.

Can anything be done to lessen this bandwidth impact?

Thanks,
