2. Architecture

Veeam Cloud Connect is a modular architecture made up of several components. Each component has a precise function, and together they work to provide the overall functionality.

Some of them can and should be deployed in multiple instances for High Availability and scalability purposes; in each section we will clearly state if the described component can be deployed multiple times.

In addition to specific Veeam components, the architecture requires (or it can benefit from) additional general components, which will also be listed and described. For each component, you will see a description of its function, how you can monitor it, what level of protection it requires and how it can be protected over the network.
