Avamar Virtual Edition

EMC Avamar has introduced the first virtualized backup recovery and disaster recovery solution for remote office environments.

Description

EMC Avamar has introduced the first virtualized data protection solution for backup and recovery and disaster recovery in the industry. The Avamar Virtual Edition (AVE) is a single-node Avamar server that runs as a virtual machine in any 3.X VMware ESX-server environment. The AVE is similar to existing single-node Avamar offerings on physical machines, in that it runs autonomously as a target for Avamar client backups. The Avamar software product utilizes patented data de-duplication and single instance storage (SIS) technology to backup data once and only once on a global basis. The Avamar Virtual Edition is ideal for branch office data consolidation environments, and comes in a .5 terabyte and 1.0 terabyte capacity.

The primary benefit from the Avamar Virtual Edition is that it allows customers to virtualize the complete backup and recovery process - as well as facilitating easy remote copies for disaster recovery. For customers who are standardizing on VMware, this means that they can now include all parts of an efficient, de-duplicated backup infrastructure within their remote office virtual environments, and standardize on Avamar as part of the virtual template that's used in the provisioning process. This assures consistency, uniformity & a rapid, cost-effective rollout. Since the Avamar Virtual Edition can be deployed right next to other VMware virtual machines running on existing physical hardware, customers can further leverage their investment in shared server and storage infrastructure. And finally, Avamar's integrated replication capabilities can be used to assure that a second copy of backups stored on the Virtual Edition are available at another location for DR purposes. The second target location can be either another Avamar Virtual Edition or a physical Avamar implementation.

The Avamar Virtual Edition expands the capabilities of virtualization beyond just business applications, and delivers an unparalleled reduction in management and infrastructure costs for companies that currently deploy or play to deploy VMware infrastructures across all remote office environments.

Key Benefits:

Time to Market: Organizations that are currently deploying or wish to deploy standardized virtualized IT infrastructures in remote offices can now simplify and streamline the data protection infrastructures as part of the virtualized solution.
Efficiency: The AVE virtualized data protection schema for remote offices provides cost effective and efficient backup and recovery capabilities using existing VMware infrastructure. The built-in replication capability for disaster recovery purposes removes the burden of managing tapes that often-times results in lost data and consumer confidence.
Reliability: The Avamar Virtual Edition's replication capabilities eliminates the need to manage the off-site transport of tapes for disaster recovery purposes, and decreases the chance of lost or stolen media during the process.
Integration: Avamar Virtual Edition represents the industry's first example of the integration of data protection for backup recovery and disaster recovery into a virtualized environment, allowing organizations to maximize return on investment of their virtualized infrastructure.
