First of all, before selection a backup sloution you need to think of the below main points,

1 - What is the total Data size ?

2 -What will be the Data growth per year ?

3- What the required or what is the RPO and RTO objectives which your oraganisation planning to achive.

There are many solution, in my experience i am suggestion the below;

1 - For Databases, Exchage etc there should be separate solution, to get the exact DB tables, DB state and mailbox etc.

2- For VM level backup, you can use Veeam, VMware VDR, Symantec backup exec,

3 - In arrays like HP 3PAR, there is separate solutions for VMWARE, DB and EXCHANGE, this will be occuring in the LUN level that is in the Storage block level. I am not sure how this technology works with the DB tables and mailbox restore, i didnt done this.

4 - In my experience, 2 backup systems is needed, one for the file level and other for the VM level.

5 - If possible implement D2D2T, backup architecure.

6 - If possible get the Deduplication capable arrays like, Netapp, etc.

7 - For backup, you can use 10G ISCSI SAN, with Cisco and Netapp storage.

Please give your requirements in more details, then we can easily get a clear idea.
