Summary

Todays Data Protection Reality
Pressure to meet the changing

needs of the business
Data growth is immense
Companies want more data protected
Time required for backup is expanding
Backup hampered by tapes unreliability
and poor performance
Virtual machines pose unique backup
challenges
Increasing volume of data at remote
offices
More data stored locally on desktops
and laptops

The Usual Answers
Backup to tape, or stage to disk, and

then archive to tape
Manually move tapes offsite for
disaster recovery
Traditional backup and recovery

Inefficient and slow, ~200% of primary
data moved across the network weekly
Tedious, multi-step recovery process
Risks the loss or theft of unencrypted
tapes in transit
Data is difficult to recover and leverage

Avamar Overview
Avamar Software Backup and recovery software with integrated

Agent-only global, source data deduplication
or deployed
on qualified,
industry- Reduces the size of backup data at the source
standard before it is transferred across the network
servers
Delivers fast, daily full backups using existing infrastructure
Avamar Data Store
Reduces network bandwidth for backup by up to 500 times
Fully integrated
software/hardware Deduplicates across sites and servers, reducing total
offering backup disk storage by up to 50 times
Cost-effectively stores daily full backups on diskreducing
or eliminating the need for tape

Avamars Optimized Backup for
VMware Infrastructure
Avamar deduplicates at the optimal location and level

of granularity
Optimal location: Reduces data at the source
Data deduplicated at VM guest or proxy server (source)
Duplicated data never traverses congested shared physical resources
Data moved during backup is reduced from ~200% to ~2% of primary data
weekly
Deduplicates data globally across virtual machines and/or VMDK (virtual
machine disk) format files
Optimal granularity: Sub-file, variable-length segments

VMDK is one large file; any changes cause an incremental/full traditional
backup
Fixed-length segment deduplication solutions fail due to frame offset
Avamar efficiently moves only new, unique variable length data segments
Ideal for the protection of VMware environments

Delivers fast, daily full backups over existing virtual and physical infrastructure
Enables greater server consolidation by eliminating backup bottlenecks
Maximizes value from VMware

Remote Office/Branch Office (ROBO)
Backup challenges and Avamar solution
The Achilles heel of data protection

More than 4 million remote offices in the U.S.
Remote office data growing at more than 50% per year*
Most back up to tape and move unencrypted tapes offsite
Often unskilled, untrained IT staff at remote sites
Avamar remote office/branch office backup is
simple, safe, and manageable
Avamar enabled us to Extend data center protection to the edge
reduce administrative
support requirements by Fast, daily full backups and one-step recovery through
80%, reduce backup existing WAN/LAN links
windows by 90%, and Avamar agent-only deployment for smaller offices (no extra

servers in minutes Eliminate distributed tape management/infrastructure
rather than hours.

NAS Filer Backup and Recovery Challenges
Limited backup windows

Daily full backups desired, but not feasible
Limited backup and recovery performance

Single filer controllers have limited resources and can
become a bottleneck
Incomplete backups leave data at risk
Limited network links and disk storage

Redundant data limits performance of network/
infrastructure and requires more disk storage
Impact on end users
When backups exceed allotted window, end users compete
for the NAS resources (poor response, lower productivity)
NDMP licenses
Traditional NAS filers require expensive NDMP licenses to
support backup and recovery

Avamar NAS/NDMP Backup Accelerator
How it works
Avamar Accelerator uses NDMP to communicate to source NAS device
Accelerator requests only modified data daily
Accelerator performs source-based deduplication on modified data
Only new modified segments are sent to Avamar Data Store

Source and global deduplication occur at Accelerator
Avamars NDMP backups are ready for immediate recovery

Avoids time-consuming task of restoring weekly full, plus daily incremental, backups
