The Veeam Cloud Connect infrastructure is organized around the Veeam backup server running on the SP side. The SP Veeam backup server is a configuration and control center of the Veeam Cloud Connect infrastructure. The SP uses the Veeam backup server to set up the Veeam Cloud Connect infrastructure and deliver Cloud Repository as a Service and Disaster recovery as a Service to tenants.
The SP Veeam backup server runs the Veeam Cloud Connect Service — a Microsoft Windows service that is responsible for the following operations:
Providing access to the cloud repository for tenants
Controlling transport services that work with the cloud repository
Communicating with the Veeam Backup & Replication database
The Veeam Cloud Connect Service is deployed on every Veeam backup server. However, Veeam Backup & Replication uses this service only for work with the Veeam Cloud Connect infrastructure components.
