Explanation
To design a solution that meets the needs and requirements of Veeam University Hospital, you need to gather some information during the discovery phase. This information will help you to understand the current state of the environment, the goals and expectations of the stakeholders, and the constraints and challenges of the project.
According to the Veeam Backup & Replication Best Practice Guide1, some of the information that is necessary for designing a solution and must be gathered during discovery are:
*Operating systems used to run the workloads. This information will help you to determine the compatibility and supportability of the workloads with Veeam products and features, as well as the licensing and configuration requirements.
*Allowed backup windows. This information will help you to plan and schedule the backup jobs according to the availability and performance of the workloads, as well as the service level agreements (SLAs) and recovery point objectives (RPOs) of the organization.
*Amount of used disk space. This information will help you to estimate the backup storage requirements, as well as the backup compression and deduplication ratios, based on the type and size of the data.
