POD design concept

A POD represents a self-contained, scalable unit of backup infrastructure that can operate independently. This modular approach enables horizontal scaling by deploying additional PODs as demand grows, while limiting failure domains and maintaining predictable performance characteristics.

POD specifications

Capacity: 1000 concurrent backup tasks.

Database: The following POD design is oriented towards a simplified architecture using VBR with the built-in PostgreSQL instance. A separate Microsoft SQL Server can be introduced to support Veeam Service Provider Console deployment when centralized management and billing capabilities are required (see the MSP build section).

Repository: This POD sizing does not include backup repository compute resources, which should be sized separately based on storage architecture and performance requirements.

System requirements

VCC Server (+ PostgreSQL)

VCC Cloud Gateway

Performance optimization

Additional registry values can help optimize performance. Please refer to Veeam KB4217 for further information.
