Other examples of NetBackup for OpenStack network integrations
Each OpenStack installation is different and so is the network configuration. There are endless possibilities of how to configure the OpenStack network and how to implement the NetBackup for OpenStack appliance into this network. The following three examples have been seen in production:
The first example is from a manufacturing company, which wanted to split the networks by function and decided to put the NetBackup for OpenStack backup target on the internal network as the backup and recovery function was identified as an OpenStack internal solution. This example looks complex but integrates NetBackup for OpenStack as recommended.
The second example is from a financial institute that wanted to be sure that the OpenStack Users have no direct uncontrolled network access to the OpenStack infrastructure. Following this example requires additional work as the internal HA-Proxy needs to be configured to correctly translate the API calls towards the NetBackup for OpenStack
The third example is from a service company that was forced to treat NetBackup for OpenStack as an external 3rd party solution, as we require a virtual machine running outside of OpenStack. This kind of network configuration requires good planning on the NetBackup for OpenStack endpoints and firewall rules.
