VMware proxy
Data processing throughput of the VMware backup proxies depends on the available compute (CPU and RAM) resources. The possible data processing performance numbers (according to the internal testing) for the VMware backup proxies in different hardware configurations are provided in the table below.
| Configuration | Active Full | Incremental | Active Full with inline entropy analysis enabled | Incremental with inline entropy analysis enabled |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Virtual Ubuntu proxy, hot-add transport mode, backup to block (direct attached) storage | ||||
| 4 vCPU, 8 GB RAM | 720 MB/s | 320 MB/s | 400 MB/s | 320 MB/s |
| 8 vCPU, 16 GB RAM | 1440 MB/s | 640 MB/s | 800 MB/s | 640 MB/s |
| 12 vCPU, 24 GB RAM | 2160 MB/s | 960 MB/s | 1200 MB/s | 960 MB/s |
| Virtual Ubuntu proxy, hot-add transport mode, backup to object storage | ||||
| 4 vCPU, 16 GB RAM | 440 MB/s | 320 MB/s | 300 MB/s | 240 MB/s |
| 8 vCPU, 32 GB RAM | 880 MB/s | 640 MB/s | 600 MB/s | 480 MB/s |
| 12 vCPU, 48 GB RAM | 1320 MB/s | 960 MB/s | 900 MB/s | 720 MB/s |
Note: The throughput observed in the production environment may vary due to the impact of other parts of the infrastructure. It is recommended to consult a trusted Veeam technical advisor for a correct infrastructure assessment and sizing of the solution components.
