Deduplication Is the EnablerMove and store less data

1. Divides data into variable-length sub-file segments

2. Determines if segments are unique or duplicate3. Backs up only unique data4. Sends data compressed and encrypted


Real-World ResultsAvamar daily full backups vs. traditional full backups

Data TypeAmount of Primary Data Backed Up

Windows file systems 3,573 GB 6.1 GB

Mix of Windows, Linux, and UNIX file systems 5,097 GB 11.7 GB

Engineering files on NAS (NDMP backups) 3,265 GB 24.2 GB

Voice of the Customer

Improves Backup Time 36x“Before we implemented Avamar, our full tape backups would run for more than 72 hours and often included failed backups. Now, after completely eliminating tape from our environment and with Avamar, we have achieved 92% data deduplication with Avamar, and most of our backups complete in just two hours.”

“We’re basically virtualizing everything we can with VMware. Avamar helps us manage this transition more efficiently and reliably by giving us a standard way to manage both physical and virtual backups.”

“The Avamar NAS solution has been absolutely bulletproof. Our end users no longer have slowdowns in system performance because a weekend backup ran into Monday morning.”


Summary• Comprehensive backup and recovery for:

– Virtual, NAS, enterprise applications, remote office and desktop/laptops

Deduplicated daily full backups– Shorten backup/recovery times– Improve bandwidth efficiency– Shrink storage requirements

• One-step recovery is fast and easy

• Purpose-built backup appliance– Turnkey solution; reliability designed in
