Avamar

Data Store is a fully integrated, pre-packaged hardware and software solution that
combines EMC Avamar backup and recovery software with global source deduplication and EMC-certified
hardware. The solution significantly reduces your on-site prep, text, and setup time, while providing
streamlined single-vendor purchasing, deployment, and service.
EMC Avamar is a backup and recovery product with integrated global source data deduplication
technology. It solves the challenges associated with traditional backup by delivering fast, daily, full
backups for VMware

environments, remote offices, and LAN/NAS servers in the data center.

Unlike traditional backup methods, Avamar eliminates redundant sub-file data segments at the
source (client) before its transferred across the network and stored to disk. Network bandwidth
required for backup is reduced by as much as 500 percent across existing WAN/LAN links and virtual
infrastructure.
Avamar deduplicates backup data globally, across sites and server. This can reduce by 50 times total
back-end disk storage requirements. It encrypts both in-flight and at-rest data, enabling secure,
cost-effective, long-term on-disk retention.
Flexible deployment options
Avamar Data Store is the fastest way for you to deploy a physical Avamar server. Build-to-order and
pre-racked configurations simplify deployment and reduce costs, while tool-less rails streamline field
installation and upgrades. An entry-level Avamar Data Store is ideal for remote offices when fast, local
backup and recovery are priorities.
For larger offices and data centers, Avamar Data Store configurations help you to retain the equivalent
of several petabytes of cumulative traditional backups that can be immediately recovered in a single
step, eliminating hassles and risks associated with offsite tape storage.
Scalability, high availability, and reliability
Unlike many traditional server deployments, the Avamar server utilizes a scalable grid architecture
that enables linear performance and storage increases by adding storage nodes. Each incremental
node increases CPU, memory, I/O, and disk capacity for the entire grid. When adding disk storage,
data is automatically load-balanced online without compromising deduplication efficiency or system
performance.
When traditional backup solutions fail, data is often lost. To prevent this, Avamar employs patented
redundant array of independent nodes (RAIN) technology to provide high availability and fault tolerance
across nodes in an Avamar grid, eliminating single points of failure. Optional redundant switches and
NICs are available for failover and high availability. Avamar system integrity is verified twice daily via
internal system checkpoints, and Avamar verifies the recoverability of all backup data daily. Backup
data can also be efficiently and securely replicated to another Avamar server for disaster recovery.
Managing Avamar Data Store is easy, with features such as remote management and e-mail-home
capabilities, including diagnostics. These can be integrated with your management frameworks
via SNMP.
EMC Avamar Data Store is available in
convenient build-to-order and pre-racked
configurations for simplified deployment.
This turnkey solution significantly reduces
on-site prep, test, and setup time, while
providing streamlined, single-vendor
purchasing, deployment, and service.
