By leveraging Sangfor HCI’s native snapshot technology, the solution eliminates the need for guest OS agents. This reduces VM overhead, simplifies deployment, and ensures compatibility with legacy and cloud-native workloads.
Transforming Data Protection for Modern Enterprises
Modern enterprises face escalating demands for data resilience, operational simplicity, and cost efficiency. Legacy infrastructure—fragmented across compute, storage, and virtualization silos—struggles to deliver the agility required for cloud-native workloads. Sangfor Hyper-Converged Infrastructure (HCI) addresses these challenges by unifying infrastructure layers into a scalable, software-defined platform. Paired with Veeam Backup & Replication, this joint solution redefines data protection, combining Sangfor’s hyperconverged efficiency with Veeam’s industry-leading backup, recovery, and anti-ransomware capabilities.
Enterprise-Grade Data Protection with Sangfor HCI and Veeam
The objective is to enable agentless, enterprise-grade data protection for Sangfor HCI environments through seamless integration with Veeam’s intelligent data management platform.
Key Outcomes:
- Zero Agent Overhead: Eliminate guest OS agents via native API-driven backups, reducing resource consumption by 50%.
- 1-click Recovery: Achieve 1-click VM recovery for critical workloads using Sangfor HCI snapshots.
- Increased Efficiency: Save storage capacity and backup time with efficient data deduplication and compression.
- Hybrid Cloud Flexibility: Securely tier backups to AWS S3, Azure Blob, or on-prem tape libraries.
- Ransomware Resilience: Immutable backups + AES-256 encryption ensure data integrity and compliance.
Technical Architecture
The solution leverages SBP (Sangfor Backup Platform) as an intermediary layer between Sangfor HCI and Veeam.
Key Features of Sangfor HCI & Veeam Integration
Agentless Data Protection
Granular Recovery
- File-Level: Restore individual files or folders from VM backups without full-system recovery.
- Application-Aware: Supports SQL, Oracle and Active Directory with transaction-consistent backups.
- Instant VM Mount: Launch VMs directly from backup repositories to minimize downtime.
Multi-Cloud & Tape Support
