System integrator partners

Deliver the resilience layer of large infrastructure programmes.

Integrators carry customer programmes where many technologies must work together. Vembu Shield resilience platform adds protection and recovery that fits across hypervisors, storage, cloud and applications, with architects available to validate the design.

SI overview

What does a system integrator do with the Shield Platform?

A system integrator designs and implements the Shield Platform as one component of a broader infrastructure or resilience project. The work covers architecture, integration with existing hypervisors, storage and cloud services, migration of protection from legacy tools, and acceptance testing. Shield Platform architects validate the design and support implementation so the integrator can commit to the programme with confidence.
Programme types

Projects where a recovery layer is a deliverable.

Backup and recovery rarely arrive as isolated projects. They are part of larger changes that integrators already lead.

Data centre refreshNew compute and storage need a protection design that matches the new estate.
Platform migrationMoving between hypervisors or from on-premises to cloud while keeping recovery intact.
Disaster recovery buildA second site or cloud target with documented, tested failover.
Consolidation programmeReplace multiple backup products across business units with a single control point.
Platform coverage

What the platform needs to work with in a typical estate.

Estate layer Covered by the platform Integrator consideration
Hypervisors VMware, Hyper-V, KVM, Proxmox VE, oVirt Mixed environments protected from one console
Operating systems Windows, Linux, Mac Policy design per workload class
Cloud AWS and Azure instances, plus object storage targets Data placement and egress planning
Data services SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Exchange, SharePoint Application-consistent backup requirements
Storage targets DAS, NAS, SAN, deduplication appliances, S3-compatible Capacity and retention design
Delivery model

A delivery sequence integrators can place in a statement of work.

01

Architect

Define the design with specialist review of sizing and topology.

02

Build

Install and configure the platform across sites and tenants.

03

Migrate

Transfer protection from legacy tools without leaving gaps.

04

Verify

Run acceptance restores and document recovery results.

05

Operate

Handover runbooks, monitoring and support routes.

What helps an SI win

Reasons the design holds up in tender and review.

01

Validated architecture

Specialists review the design against product behaviour before it reaches the customer.

02

Fewer integration surprises

A broad workload list reduces the number of separate tools in the design.

03

Testable recovery

Backup verification and restore testing give acceptance criteria that can be demonstrated.

04

Controlled access

Role-based access, MFA and audit logs support security reviews.

Commercial shape

Ways integrators package the work.

Fixed-scope implementation

A defined deployment with clear acceptance tests.

Programme sub-contract

Resilience workstream inside a wider infrastructure contract.

Retained support

Ongoing tuning, testing and expansion after go-live.

Multi-site rollout

A template design repeated across sites or business units.

Partner questions

System integrator questions

How does the Shield Platform team support SI architecture work?

Shield Platform specialists help with sizing, topology and design validation so the integrator can commit to a solid scope.

Can the platform protect mixed hypervisor estates?

Yes. BDRShield protects VMware, Hyper-V, KVM, Proxmox VE and oVirt workloads from one console.

Can we migrate protection from an existing backup product?

Yes. Migration is a planned stage in the delivery model, with support for moving protection without leaving workloads unprotected.

Do SIs need their own certified engineers first?

No. Early engagements can proceed with specialist help while the integrator builds its own delivery capability.

What evidence can be handed to the customer?

Restore test results, backup verification reports and audit logs can all support acceptance and compliance reviews.
