"We haven't done a DR test in three months." Automated testing

"The business requires too many different RPOs and RTOs." Disaster Recovery Orchestration

Question strategies
Asking questions is a great way to learn about your customer's needs, gather details, gain
credibility and get your customer thinking about business value. The questions may intentionally
flow from broad to specific, leading the customer toward a purchase. Some question strategies
you can use to engage customers include:

Broad questions
Open questions designed to get a customer talking:
 "What processes do you have in place for mass recovery?"
 "What is your plan if your environment is hit by a ransomware attack?"

Environmental questions
Focused questions designed to understand the customer's situation:
 "How often do you update your recovery plan documentation?"
 "How much time does recovery documentation and testing require from your
team?"

Credibility questions
Questions used to build credibility by showing you understand the customer:
 "Have you been able to validate RTO/RPO achievement in a recovery scenario?"
 "Does this mean your team spends time manually creating and updating DR
documentation?"

Impact questions
Questions that prompt the customer to think about value and impact:
 "When changes happen in production IT, what does it take to update your
recovery plan today?"
 "What is the impact to your business if you are unable to recover in a disaster?"

Match each customer persona to their key motivation:

Industry terminology

"As a Service" options


There are several types of services to leverage for cloud workloads, each with varying levels of
responsibility for the customer and the service provider. You've probably heard these terms in
your conversations with customers. Let's take a closer look at examples of each one and how a
customer would use them in specific situations.

INFRASTRUCTURE AS A SERVICE
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) is a type of cloud computing service that delivers
foundational compute, storage, and networking resources on-demand to users via the internet,
generally consumed as cloud-hosted virtual machines (VMs). This is the least engineered of
all the "as a Service" options.

Provider examples: Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure and Google Compute Engine

To help make this clearer, let's use a pizza analogy. Think of IaaS as Kitchen-as-a-Service.
The customer provides the pizza dough, toppings, and cooks the pizza. The vendor (aka the cloud
provider) provides the kitchen, gas and oven. With IaaS, the customer has maximum control over
the service delivery, while still outsourcing critical elements for scale and best practices.

PLATFORM AS A SERVICE
Platform as a Service (PaaS) is similar in nature and purpose to IaaS, however, also provides
middleware (platforms) like databases, file systems, and development tools. This option
provides users customization without having to manage as many elements as an IaaS
solution.

Provider examples: AWS Elastic Beanstalk, Google App Engine and Adobe Commerce

Let's go back to our pizza analogy. Think of PaaS as Walk-in-and-Bake. The customer controls
the toppings and cooks the pizza. The vendor provides the kitchen, gas, oven and pizza dough to
make the pizza. With PaaS, the customer outsources more of the service delivery, but still controls
much of the user experience.

SOFTWARE AS A SERVICE
Software as a Service (SaaS) offers the most engineered and complete software
solution that users can connect to over the internet, with maintenance of the entire software,
middleware and infrastructure assumed by the service provider.

Provider examples: Gmail, Slack and Microsoft 365

Going back to pizza one more time, think of SaaS as Pizza-as-a-Service. The customer shows
up to the restaurant, which offers an end-to-end consistent and optimized experience. All you
need is your pizza craving and a credit card! With SaaS, the customer leverages the
infrastructure, upgrade-management and ultimate software best practice design, trading in the
control afforded by PaaS and IaaS
Four more terms to know

AWS Accounts/Microsoft Subscriptions/Google Cloud


Projects
Logical containers (not the Kubernetes kind) used to create and manage resources within the
specific cloud, as well as administrative capabilities for access and billing. Accounts, subscriptions
and projects are typically deemed as security boundaries, useful for isolating backups for
security.

Regions
These are the real-world geographic locations where the cloud providers resources are located.

IAM
Identity and Access Management (IAM) are web services that help securely grant and manage
access to the right resources at the right time by the right people and/or service.

One example of IAM is Microsoft Authenticator that Veeam uses to connect to the VPN.

Immutability
Immutability helps ensure the integrity of stored data — including data stored in backups —
through a write once, read many (WORM) state. Once locked, immutable backups cannot be
altered, encrypted or deleted.

Immutability protects data from loss as a result of attacks, malware activity or any other injurious
actions.

Vendor terminology
Amazon EBS
Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) offers easy-to-use, high performance block storage at
any scale, designed for Amazon EC2 (AWS-hosted VMs).

Amazon S3
Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) is an object storage service offering built to retrieve
any amount of data from anywhere, including backup and recovery. Tiers vary in price and
performance, including:
 S3 Standard
 S3 Glacier
 S3 Glacier Deep Archive
Azure Managed Disks
Azure Managed Disks are high-performance, durable block storage designed to be used with Azure
Virtual Machines and Azure VMware Solution.

Azure Blob Storage


Azure Blob Storage is Microsoft's object storage solution for the cloud. Optimized for storing
massive amounts of unstructured data (including backups). Tiers vary in price and performance,
including:
 Azure Blob Hot
 Azure Blob Cool
 Azure Archive Storage

Google Cloud Storage


Google Cloud Storage is the object storage service available on Google Cloud, delivering secure
and durable storage for any amount of data, including backups. Tiers vary in price and
performance, including:
 Standard storage
 Archive storage

Compute

"I'm leveraging customizable compute in the cloud to help


scale for performance and capacity needs of my VMs."
Customers can use different vendor-specific solutions to accomplish this business outcome.

Amazon EC2
Offers secure and reliable compute capacity for virtually any workload.
Azure VMs
An on-demand, scalable compute resource for creating Linux and Windows VMs.
Google Compute Engine VM
Offers a secure and customizable compute service that lets you create and run virtual
machines on Google’s infrastructure

File systems

"My team has shifted to cloud-hosted file storage, so we don't


have to worry about managing file servers or storage."
Customers can use different vendor-specific solutions to accomplish this business outcome.

AMAZON EFS
Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) provides serverless, fully elastic file storage that
automatically grows and shrinks as files are added or removed without the need for management
or provisioning.
AZURE FILES
Azure Files delivers fully managed, serverless file shares that can scale and shrink dynamically in line with
user demands.

Databases
"I'm using a fully managed database, so I'm not wasting time on inefficient database
administrative tasks."
Customers can use different vendor-specific solutions to accomplish this business outcome.

Amazon RDS
A collection of managed services that makes it simple to set up, operate, and scale databases in the cloud
Azure SQL
A family of managed, secure, and intelligent products that use the SQL Server database engine within Microsoft Azure

Provides a fully managed relational database service to help power many applications running on other Google services

Below the power line


When influencing decision makers below the power line, it's critical to understand their
sphere of control, focus of experience and the messaging strategies that will be most
effective.

Backup Admins and the cloud


What you should know
 They are used to their sphere of control being limited to the data center, so their
cloud skills are likely limited
 The organization still regards them as the Directly Responsible Individual (DRI)
for all backup, including backup of IaaS/PaaS/SaaS

Making your message resonate


A ‘standardize your protection across infrastructures’ message will resonate well with them for a
policy-based approach

Cloud Architects, Engineers and Admins


What you should know
 They tend to specialize in specific clouds (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud), even
though their organizations may be multi-cloud
 They understand the importance of backup, but it falls down the list of priorities,
so they are okay with a ‘good enough’ solution

Making your message resonate


Their expertise is needed to effectively implement any data protection strategy, so their needs for
easy-to-use and cost efficiency must be considered

Security professionals and the cloud


What you should know
 As workloads rapidly move to the cloud, security professionals are aware that
the threat surface is also rapidly expanding
 Per the Ransomware Trends Report 2022, backup repositories were attacked
94% of the time, so backup remains a critical threat surface

Making your message resonate


A policy-based approach, coupled with reporting and documented orchestration of recovery, will
all resonate as outcomes of backup modernization

Above the power line


VP INFORMATIONM SYSTEMS
Accountable for the totality of infrastructure and service delivery, regardless of
where the workload resides
CTO
Catalyst to pull all the below the power line team together and push
standardization of solution sets across functional roles
CISO
Highly concerned with relentless cyberattacks and the rapid movement of
workloads to the cloud

Introduction to Veeam licensing for


public cloud backup
Like many other solutions within the Veeam Data Platform, the license of choice for
protecting public cloud workloads is the Veeam Universal License (VUL). Selling VUL is
even more pertinent in the hybrid and multi-cloud reality that our customers exist in.
Frequently asked questions
Why would someone choose VUL over standalone?
Standalone licensing is limited in that it is not portable/transferable, does not entitle
centralized management via Veeam Backup & Replication, or data portability across
platforms.

If a customer has a hybrid or multi-cloud environment it is critical that Veeam leads


with positioning VUL.

Is there a free version?


Yes. Veeam Backup for AWS, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud all have a free edition
that includes backup of up to 10 instances, including best effort support. Also, Veeam
Backup & Replication Community Edition V12 and up supports public cloud backup and
recovery.

Does Veeam Backup & Replication need to be in the cloud?


No – Veeam Backup & Replication can be hosted on-premises or in the cloud.

Is there a sizing limit on PaaS databases and file shares?


No. Unlike competing solutions, license consumption is a flat rate irrespective of how
large or small the database or file share is. This makes pricing easy and predictable for
customers.

What if a customer is using free then connects it to Veeam Backup & Replication?
As soon as Veeam Backup & Replication is connected to any edition of Veeam
Backup for AWS, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud, VUL will begin to be consumed. If
disconnected, licensing will revert to the previous method.

Where can I find more information on pricing?

How does PO process work when transacting through cloud provider’s marketplace?
In marketplace transactions, there is no PO involved. The deal is however still recorded
in Salesforce, and you will still earn normal quota attainment and commission.

Module 2: Identifying Kasten K10 customer


opportunities
What do we mean by “cloud-native” computing?

Cloud-native is a modern approach to building and running software applications that exploits the
flexibility, scalability and resilience of cloud computing. Cloud-native encompasses the various
tools and techniques used by software developers to build applications for the public cloud (as
opposed to traditional architectures suited to an on-premises data center).

Select each question to learn more about cloud-native technologies and how they differ from the
virtualization technology you are familiar with.

Where did cloud-native come from?



The cloud-native approach to building and running software has its origin with Google applying
container technologies in 2004, but was increasingly implemented by a group of companies often
referred to as “born in the cloud” — such as Netflix, Spotify, Uber and Airbnb.
Compared to virtualization: Cloud-native computing focuses on application resource sharing,
whereas virtualization is focused on compute resource sharing.
How does containerization fit in to cloud-native computing?

The Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) defines cloud-native as focusing on application
containerization — where applications are broken down into microservices and packaged in
lightweight containers to be orchestrated and deployed across a variety of servers.

Compared to virtualization: Containers run on a so-called run-time platform with the platform
requiring just one operating system, whereas each virtual machine needs an operating system of
its own.

What are the benefits of cloud-native technologies?



Briefly, the main advantages of a cloud-native technologies include the following:
 Cloud-native technologies empower organizations to build and run scalable applications in modern, dynamic
environments, including public, private and hybrid clouds.
 The cloud-native approach is increasingly being adopted by companies looking for similar digital agility and
disruptive competitive advantage.
Compared to virtualization: Application layers in a cloud-native environment are easier to
scale on demand compared to the need to calculate allocated resources in virtualization.

What about cloud-native app development?



Cloud-native app development typically includes marrying microservices, cloud platforms,
containers, Kubernetes, immutable infrastructure, declarative APIs, DevOps techniques like CI/CD
(continuous integration continuous delivery) and agile methodology.

Compared to virtualization: In virtualization, the various personas involved (administrators,


developers, etc.) are well-defined and are usually tied to specific roles; in cloud-native
environments, marrying microservices requires flexible roles and more cross-capability among
responsibilities.

Customer challenge use cases


Challenges (needs) are the influential factors that trigger customers to purchase a solution. The
following use cases for each of the three types of customer challenges will help you identify K10
opportunities to accelerate your customers' Kubernetes journey.

Select the use cases under each customer challenge to learn how to identify and address K10
opportunities.
Backup and Restore
Backup and restoration of applications to protect data
Use Case: The customer’s data is stateful (inside containers)
Scenario

Your customers may know that for stateful applications, Kubernetes works hard to ensure high
availability in case of software, server or region failures. This increased reliability makes it
significantly easier to run replicated data services across failure domains. However, some may not
know that the added reliability provided by replication only improves data availability.
Selling point

Customers sometimes confuse “reliability” with “backup”: although data replication can protect
against partial infrastructure failure, it will not protect against corruption or data loss, whether
accidental or malicious. K10 truly protects a Kubernetes application by storing a copy of container
data in a completely independent location.
Use Case: The customer’s data is stateless (outside containers)
Scenario

One of the biggest Kubernetes myths is the belief that applications running on Kubernetes should
be architected to be stateless. Kubernetes’ support for storage and stateful applications has
reached maturity and has been driving more and more of your customers to adopt Kubernetes as
the common control plane for both stateful and stateless applications.
Selling point

K10 protects customer’s containers and their structure—that is, the links between containers and
applications and microservices.
Use Case: The customer is concerned about data loss
Scenario

It’s probably safe to assume that all of your customers are concerned about data loss, whether
accidental or malicious loss, infrastructure hardware failure or application misconfiguration. They
may not understand the pitfalls of trying to retrofit legacy backup architectures into a cloud-
native ecosystem or the benefits of deploying a truly cloud-native backup solution.
Selling point

Although Kubernetes takes away a lot of the pain of ensuring high availability and scalability of a
customer's application services, these benefits do not extend to data, making the data
management of Kubernetes applications that K10 provides a critical priority.

customers: Leading Financial Services Provider Uses Kasten K10 for Backup and
Disaster Recovery.

Disaster Recovery
Full recovery readiness for any disaster, including entire platform/hardware failure, deletion or
corruption of a deployment.
Use Case: In case of disaster, the customer would benefit from off-site application protection
Scenario

A prospect’s Kubernetes platform is set up, and there’s enough compute, storage, and networking
to support rapid growth. But they also want to protect themselves from accidental failures and be
able to replicate their cloud-native infrastructure in case of an outright disaster.
Selling point

K10’s policy-driven automation manages how backups are securely replicated to off-site storage
and helps your customers achieve robust protection regardless of the compute or storage
infrastructure they are using.
Use Case: In case of disaster, a customer would benefit from stand-by clusters
Scenario

After a disaster that wipes out a customer's containerization platform, they will need to restore
data to another location.
Selling point

Kasten K10 allows customers to restore the application components they want and where they
want them. Even if a customer were to lose their containerization platform, K10 will enable near-
zero recovery time objective (RTO) for their Kubernetes workloads by automating complete
application stack replication to a standby cluster—or K10 can allow for fast failover across cloud
regions, cloud providers or even between on-premises and cloud infrastructure.

customers: Sopra Steria Uses Kasten K10 for Backup and Disaster Recovery for Red
Hat OpenShift Environment.
