The scenario
A mid-sized enterprise needs centralized backup storage with deduplication on-premises and encrypted off-site replication to a cloud target, connected through a tiered network with redundant core switches.
What is in this drawing
Read the decisions behind it.
01
Use dedicated storage switch for backup traffic separate from production VLANs
02
Deploy deduplication appliance between backup server and tape archive
03
Route off-site replication through VPN gateway and internet to cloud
Reusable for enterprise backup architectures that combine local deduplication, tiered core/distribution/access switching, and secure cloud replication.
