Solutions Architecture - Avamar, DD, PPDM, Networker

• Description:

Must have skills: Avamar, Data Domain, PPDM, Networker

Detailed Project Tasks: Resident will be responsible for assisting customer with planning and perform of backup data - re-pointing and operations management of the backup environment. Principle duties include: Environment discovery and assessment: • Review existing Avamar, Networker and Data Domain configuration, policies, schedules, retention setting and protection groups • Document current backup clients, workloads, data domains/Mtrees and replication relationships in place Backup architecture and migration planning • Assist in defining the target backup architecture leveraging PPDM and Data Domain in the new Dell private cloud solution • Map legacy Avamar/Networker backup policies and workflows to PPDM policies and Data Domain targets • PPDM and Data Domain configuration support • Assist with configuration and validation of PDM components required to protect in-scope workloads (e.g. protection policies, schedules, SLAs retention) • Assist with configuration and tuning of Data Domain for use as a backup target (e.g. DD Boost, Mtrees, storage units, logical capacity planning, and basic replication configuration where required. • Assist with application signoff on major backup configurations changes or revision of new backup standards, for example global skip directives of database servers Network integration and target repointing • Assist with configuring Networker to use the new Data Domain systems as backup targets, including creation and modification of DD Boost devices and storage units • Repoint in-scope Network backup jobs and client configurations from legacy Data Domain systems to new Data Domian environment, where appropriate and agreed in the migration plan. • Long term retention data migrations where applicable Avamar/legacy backup transition support • Assist in transitioning in-scope backup workloads from Avamar to PPDM/Data Domain, as defined in the migration plan (for example, creating equivalent backup policies and enabling new backups on PPDM
