Challenges for today's Data Protection • Data growth

– Typically represents a factor of 4 to 30 times production capacity

– Daily, weekly, and monthly full backups kept for months or years

– New requirements to keep more data for longer periods

• Server virtualization – Dynamic environment causes increased

complexity

– VM sprawl creates protection challenges

– Server consolidation creates high server utilization leaving little bandwidth for backup

Avamar: How it Works Simple example of global, sub-file deduplication

Remote Site 2

Third WIN 2K8 VM Data Center

Only unique data segments are backed up

First WIN 2K8 VM

New data segments identified and backed up

Remote Site 1

Second WIN 2K8 VM

Data already backed up, so only unique IDs stored (20 byte pointers)

Deduplication server (stored backup data)

SharePoint

Data already backed up, so only unique IDs stored (20 byte pointers)

VMware Image-Level Backup Avamar integration with VMware vStorage API for Data Protection

• Deduplication within and across VMDK files • Changed Block Tracking (CBT) reduces

backup time and minimizes recovery time • File-level recovery from image backup

(Windows) • Flexible restore to original, existing, or new

virtual machine • Proxy server load balancing for superior

throughput


ESX SERVER N • Automatic and transparent

• Simplifies management

• Faster backup and recovery

• Decreases costs

Faster Restores for VMDK‘s Simple and fast backups und restores


• Manage data protection and contain virtual machine sprawl

• Browse to VMware vCenter Server through the Avamar GUI

• Auto-discover virtual machines and their associated groups

• Monitor backup/restore operations in the Activity Monitor

• View VM protection status (guest/image/none)

Single point of management for VMware backup options

Integration with VMware vCenter Server


• Leverages existing ESX servers and storage • Replication (of applications and storage) • Facilitates rapid, cost-effective deployment and return on

investment • Supports vMotion for deployment and flexibility • Up to two Avamar Virtual Edition for VMware virtual

appliances per VMware ESX server for scalability
