Cloud Hosting for Symantec Netbackup
Created: 12 Jun 2012 | 4 comments
All,
Please I need an urgent information about how to go about hosting symantec netbackup on a cloud infrastructure. I have a client that does not have a server to host netbackup in his environment and wants me to host the solution on my cloud infrastructure while he remotely connects to the cloud server and controls his backup.
I need to know how possible it is and different approach to getting this done for the customer.

Have you looked in the Cloud admin guide ?

I don't think it's possible unless you use some sort of VPN to ensure communication channels. Furthermore name resolution is also a issue.

I agree with Nicolai.
The NBU Cloud documentation is only for configuring approved storage vendors stoarge to your own NBU environment via an OST plugin.
The only way I see you are going to do this, is to set up a NBU environment on your site and treat the customers servers as offsite clients.
I would image that a dedicated netwrok between you and your customer would be required, I can image that a VPN would cause all sorts of issues.

you have two big challanges, bandwidth and security, how you handle this two is key for your success, but Nicalai recommendation is for real the first step.

Encryption does not secure the installation alone - but it's a step in the right direction. I found this while studing Netbackup 7.5 de-duplication admin guide - Page 36:
