Course
Veeam Backup & Replication V11: Architecture and Design («VMCEAD»)
VMCA
Course facts
- Designing and architecting a Veeam solution in a real-world environment
- Describing best practices, reviewing an existing infrastructure and assessing business/project requirements
- Identifying relevant infrastructure metrics and performing component (storage, CPU, memory) quantity sizing
- Providing implementation and testing guidelines in line with designs
- Innovatively addressing design challenges and pain points, matching appropriate Veeam Backup & Replication features with requirements
During the two days, attendees will explore the goals of requirement gathering and infrastructure assessment, and use that information to design Veeam solutions within team exercises. Attendees will analyze considerations when turning logical designs into physical designs and describe the obligations to the implementation team that will implement that design. Other topics covered will include security, governance and validation impacts when architecting a Veeam solution and how to build these into the overall design.

Component of the following courses
Senior Engineers and Architects responsible for creating architectures for Veeam environments.
Ideally VMCE certified, attendees should have extensive commercial experience with Veeam and a broad sphere of technical knowledge of servers, storage, networks, virtualization and cloud environments.
Exam
Completion of this course satisfies the prerequisite for taking the Veeam Certified Architect (VMCA 2022) exam, the highest level of Veeam certification. VMCA 2022 certification proves knowledge of architecture and design concepts, highlighting the level of skill required to efficiently architect a Veeam solution in a range of real-world environments. The optional Veeam certification exam costs CHF 300 and is covered by us. Please contact us if you would like to take the Veeam exam at 0041 44 447 21 21 or info@digicomp.ch. We will be happy to order the exam voucher for you.
In case of a retake, the participant pays the exam costs and the order.
