Flexible Avamar Server Deployment Options

If your environment is standardized on VMware virtual infrastructure, there’s EMC Avamar Virtual Edition for VMware—the industry’s first deduplication virtual appliance for backup and recovery. With Avamar Virtual Edition an Avamar server can be deployed as a virtual appliance on an existing VMware ESX Server, using VMotion to reduce the demands on IT staff. Once deployed, Avamar Virtual Edition integration with VMware vCenter Server makes it simple for you to manage backup and recovery in your virtual environment. To ensure high availability and reliability, Avamar Virtual Edition also provides cost-effective Avamar virtual-to-virtual or virtual-to-physical server disaster recovery through secure, efficient replication.

If you use tape media, Avamar Data Transport makes it easy to export Avamar deduplicated backup data to physical tape for cost-effective, long-term storage. With Avamar’s powerful deduplication technology, daily full backups can be efficiently stored on tape via EMC NetWorker and other popular backup software. Avamar also verifies data integrity, and a searchable catalog simplifies recovery from tape. An intuitive interface and streamlined reporting make the entire process easy to manage.
