Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are use it across our subsidiaries within ICT department and we are managing all backups related to databases and mostly VMWARE environment. We are managing 100s of tape icluding LTO4 and LTO6 for off site backups. More than 100 VMs are protect across the environment which includes thick and thin VMs.

Pros and Cons

Centralised Backup Solution
Easy to use for administrator
Expendable in case of storages
Hardware Independent
Flexible Licenses
Reliable Infrastructure
Independent storage solution
Integration with almost every Database
Integration with Virtual Environment
Graphical representation of Storage
OPS CENTER provide detailed reporting

Admin console
SAP HANA application Templates should also be introduced instead of scripting
SAP MAXDB application template should also be introduced
Tape Management need improvement
MOBILE connectivity is missing
Admin console is so simple it should be more funcky or stylish
Small database should also be considered for backup

Likelihood to Recommend

Netbackup is suited for every environment like Windows, Linux, Suse, Red Hat, Oracle, SQL, SAP, MySQL, Mongo DB, VM, BMR.

For SMEs veritas would be an expensive solution because its an enterprise level solution may not be recommended for smaller organization. Backup administrator with high skill may requied for such solution which is also not affordable by them.

Contract Terms and Pricing Model

10

Veritas NetBackup is very expensive, and I think price is the main reason which some customers don't want to use this solution. The price is fair. Most people have felt this solution was somewhat expensive. licensing model is based on the number of NetBackup clients, agents, servers, and options that NetBackup will be protecting or run on. A customer purchases the same number of licenses as the count of clients, agents, servers, and options.
