Dell EMC Avamar™ enables fast, efficient backup and recovery by reducing the size of backup data at the client before it’s transferred across the network and stored. Dell EMC Avamar’s™ variable length deduplication dramatically reduces network traffic by only sending unique blocks, compressed and encrypted over local area networks (LANs) or wide area networks (WANs). Blocks that were previously stored are never backed up again. This means huge savings in bandwidth for backup, a lot less disk storage needed on the back—end, and, most importantly, very fast backups often as much as ten times faster. Dell EMC Avamar™ backups can be quickly recovered in just one step, eliminating the hassle of restoring full and subsequent incremental backups to reach the desired recovery point. The backup data can also be encrypted on the Dell EMC Avamar Data Store™ for added security. Never backup the same data twice. Dell EMC Avamar™ divides backup data into variable—length sub—file segments,compresses and applies a unique hash identifier to each segment during the backup process. Dell EMC Avamar™ delivers efficient data protection for desktop—laptop by providing data deduplication, open file backup, and CPU throttling.

Dell EMC Avamar™ then determines if a segment has been previously backed up and only backs up the unique segments. Highly efficient data deduplication. Dell EMC Avamar™ employs the most efficient client side deduplication on the market. Variable length deduplication significantly reduces backup time by only storing unique segments while maintaining daily full backups for immediate, single step image restore. Deduplication dramatically reduces the amount of data sent and stored  eliminating backup bottlenecks and reducing storage costs. The easiest and fastest way to deploy this solution, Dell EMC Avamar Data Store™ combines a Dell EMC™ certified purpose—built backup appliance and Dell EMC Avamar™ deduplication backup and recovery software in a fully integrated, scalable, prepackaged solution. It eliminates the complexity of working with multiple vendors for hardware, software, and support. As a turnkey solution, Dell EMC Avamar Data Store™ significantly reduces on site setup time while providing a single point of contact for purchasing, deployment, and service. For additional performance and scalability, Dell EMC Avamar™ can be deployed in an integrated solution with Dell EMC Data Domain™ systems.

Highly Efficient Backup Of NAS And High Density File Systems

Every Dell EMC Avamar™ backup is a full backup, which makes it easy for you to browse, point, and click for a single—step recovery. Dell EMC Avamar™ provides fast, reliable NAS system backup and recovery via the Dell EMC Avamar NDMP Accelerator™ node. With this approach, a Level—0 backup is performed only once, during the initial full backup. Subsequent daily full backups are achieved by requesting only Level—1 incremental dumps, and building them into a daily full backup view. This dramatically reduces backup times and the impact on NAS resources, and allows an easier and faster recovery. Dell EMC Avamar™ eliminates backup bottlenecks and provides the freedom to consolidate storage and optimize NAS systems—without limiting the number and size of files or volumes—to meet the backup window. With automated multi streaming, Dell EMC Avamar™ can protect large—scale out NAS systems, including Dell EMC Isilon™, by delivering increased throughput to protection storage. Dell EMC Avamar’s™ Fast Incremental architecture provides an efficient solution to protect high density file systems (HDFS).

Scalability And Reliability

When deploying Dell EMC Avamar™ with Data Domain™ as the backup target, you will reduce the costs involved with backing up and replicating data for disaster recovery. Dell EMC Data Domain Replicator™ software provides automated, policy—based, network efficient, and encrypted replication for disaster recovery and multi-site data protection. Dell EMC Avamar Data Store™ combines Dell EMC™ certified hardware and Dell EMC Avamar™ deduplication backup and recovery software in a fully integrated, scalable, pre-packaged solution. In addition, it eliminates single points of failure by employing patented redundant array of independent nodes (RAIN) technology to provide high availability across nodes in the Dell EMC Avamar Data Store™. System and data integrity are verified daily to ensure recoverability. Dell EMC Avamar Data Store™ features redundant power and networking, redundant array of independent disks (RAID), and patented redundant array of independent nodes (RAIN) technology to provide uninterrupted data accessibility. Daily data systems checks ensure recoverability whenever needed. Dell EMC Avamar Data Store™ scales to 124 TB of deduplicated capacity.

Application Modules

Dell EMC Avamar™ protects your business critical applications without interruption or downtime. Leveraging data deduplication assures protection of key business application data in shorter backup windows, maximum network efficiency during backup, and minimal backup storage consumption. Dell EMC Avamar™ integration with Dell EMC Data Domain™ provides the alternative of directing Avamar backups of selected workloads to Dell EMC Data Domain™ systems for scale and performance benefits. Dell EMC Avamar™ divides backup data into variable length sub file segments,compresses and applies a unique hash identifier to each segment during the backup process. Dell EMC Avamar™ then determines if a segment has been previously backed up and only backs up the unique segments. Dell EMC Avamar™ will never backup the same data twice. The traditional file based backup approach for protecting HDFS cause bottlenecks by scanning — reading the entire file system during a backup. Linux Fast Incremental™ is aware of changes made to a file system, eliminating the need to perform a file scan during the backup and eliminating the bottlenecks of traditional file based backups.
