Creating a Comprehensive Infrastructure Design Report with Veeam ONE

VEEAM ONE INFRASTRUCTURE DESIGN REPORT

Introduction
 

Understanding the Offline Infrastructure Overview Report in Veeam ONE The Infrastructure Overview Report in Veeam ONE provides a comprehensive summary of your virtual and physical infrastructure. It is particularly useful for administrators who need to analyze key aspects of their environment without relying on live data connections. This report aggregates critical metrics and configuration details, offering insights into resource allocation, utilization trends, and overall health across clusters, hosts, virtual machines, and physical servers.

 

An Offline Infrastructure Overview Report is ideal for scenarios where:

  • Access to the live infrastructure monitoring dashboard is restricted.
  • A snapshot of the environment is needed for audits, compliance, or strategic planning.
  • Reports must be shared with stakeholders who do not have direct access to Veeam ONE or the live environment.

By exporting this report in formats such as PDF or Excel, IT teams can ensure accessibility, maintain records for historical comparison, and provide actionable insights to decision-makers. This guide explains how to generate and customize the Offline Infrastructure Overview Report, ensuring it captures the required scope and format for offline use.  Whether you’re managing a VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V, or a mixed environment, the report serves as a powerful tool for infrastructure management.
