CDP Proxy

CDP proxies can be deployed using the Veeam Infrastructure Appliance ISO image by selecting the Infrastructure Server option. This enables certificate-based authentication, secure industry-standard communication protocols, and automated updates that are centrally controlled using the Veeam Backup & Replication server.

Note

Component hardware requirements must be added to the Veeam Infrastructure Appliance system requirements to ensure that the assigned role has sufficient CPU and RAM resources.

In addition to this option, you can deploy and manage CDP proxies on supported operating systems of your choice.

CDP Proxy

Specification

Requirement

Hardware

CPU : x86-64 processor with 4 cores (vCPUs) minimum. Using multi-core processors improves data processing performance and allows for more tasks to be processed concurrently. Enabling the encryption may cause the performance reduction: in this case, increase the vCPU count up to 2 times.

Memory: 8 GB RAM minimum. Using more memory allows for longer peak write I/O periods before a CDP policy switches to the disk-based write I/O cache. Using faster memory improves data processing performance.

Disk Space: 300 MB plus disk-based write I/O cache (non-persistent data, at least 50 GB recommended). Larger cache allows for longer network downtime periods before a CDP policy switches to the CBT mode.

Network: 100 Mbps or faster.
