Freelance VMware and Veeam Backup Consultant – (Remote), 27.05.2020

For an important international client from the electric industry, we are looking for a VMware & Veeam Backup consultant with, preferably, more than 5 years of experience, to work in a project-based in AMI solution (advance metering infrastructure) to manage 1 million electrical meters.

The specific tasks that the candidate will be involved in can be explained as follows. The solution is deployed in a virtualized environment and, for redundancy, in addition to the production environment, there is a DRS (disaster recovery site). The production environment has 81 virtual machines, the same for the DRS. In addition, there are other two smaller environments with 25 virtual machines and 11 virtual machines each (these two don´t have a replica).

The solution uses a SQL Server as DDBB, and the configuration for PROD+DRS is based on “Always On”. For the smaller environments, the DDBB is a single instance in each environment. Accordingly, the task that the candidate will face will be the design and implementation of the backup solution (virtual machines and DDBB data) and the synchronization with the DRS using Veeam Backup.

As such, the role is mixed technical/functional. The client will participate with the other team members in the meetings to present the design and discuss it with the final customer. The idea is to start ASAP and we are flexible if the candidate wants to work full time or part-time. Also, for a start, the estimation of the length of the project is 3 months. So far it seems that the project can be done remotely, but an eventual visit to the client office is not discarded.

Location: Remote.
Work: Flexible. Full-time or part-time.
Start date: ASAP.
Duration: 3 months for a start.
Language: Fluent English.

Tasks:

  • Design and implementation of the backup solution (virtual machines and DDBB data) and the synchronization with the DRS using Veeam Backup.

Skills:

  • VMware.
  • Veeam Backup.
  • Nice to have: SQL Server.
