About Cohesity NetBackup Marketplace Deployment on AWS

Cohesity NetBackup provides the integrated deployment solution on the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Marketplace. The integrated offer facilitates an automated deployment of NetBackup, Snapshot Manager, and Cloud Recovery components on AWS using a CloudFormation template.

Supported platforms:

  • The NetBackup deployment on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 8.8.

  • The Snapshot Manager deployment on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 8.8.

  • The Cloud Recovery server that is supported on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 8.8.

The template lets you specify the following details for the NetBackup deployment:

  • Deployment options (Delivery Methods): You have the flexibility of configuring the NetBackup primary server, Media server, Snapshot Manager server, and Cloud Recovery server as independent components; or configuring a combination of two or more components in a single deployment.

  • Proxy settings for Snapshot Manager server: You can configure the Snapshot Manager component to be accessible through a proxy server, if required.

  • Other mandatory specifications such as AWS instance, the virtual environment and network, and the server-specific configuration details.

Note:

The NetBackup is deployed with 60 day evaluation license by default. After successful installation of the NetBackup, connect to the web UI to add the production license. If the license is not added within 60 days, NetBackup may stop working.

This document provides the instructions for deploying Cohesity NetBackup on the AWS cloud by using a CloudFormation template. The intended audience for this document includes backup administrators, cloud administrators, architects, and system administrators.
