Never Backup the Same Data

Twice

Game-Changing

• Today’s data protection reality

• The usual answers

• Avamar overview• How it works• Flexible deployment

• Avamar solves key backup challenges

• Demo

• Avamar unique value

• Smart backup service

Today’s Data Protection Reality

• Data growth is immense• Companies want more data

protected• Time required for backup is

expanding• Backup hampered by tape’s

unreliability and poor performance • Virtual machines pose unique

backup challenges• Increasing volume of data at remote

offices• More data stored locally on desktops

and laptops

Pressure to meet the changing needs of the

business

The Usual Answers

• Backup to tape, or stage to disk, and then archive to tape

• Manually move tapes offsite for disaster recovery

Traditional backup and recovery

• Inefficient and slow, ~200% of primary data moved across the network weekly

• Tedious, multi-step recovery process

• Risks the loss or theft of unencrypted tapes in transit

• Data is difficult to recover and leverage

Avamar Overview

Backup and recovery software with integrated global, source data

deduplication

Reduces the size of backup data at the source—before it is transferred across the network

Delivers fast, daily full backups using existing infrastructure

Reduces network bandwidth for backup by up to 500 times

Deduplicates across sites and servers, reducing total backup disk storage by up to 50 times

Cost-effectively stores daily full backups on disk—reducing or eliminating the need for tape

Ideal for protecting VMware environments, remote offices, LAN/NAS servers, and desktop/laptop systems

Fully integrated software/hardware offering

Avamar: How it WorksGlobal, sub-file data deduplication

At the source—Deduplication before data is transported across the network

At the target—Assures coordinated deduplication across sites, servers, and over time

Granular—Small, variable-length sub-file segments guarantee most effective deduplication

Send and store each atom only once

Avamar: How it WorksSimple Example of Global, Source Data De-duplication

DE-DUPLICATION AT TARGETDE-DUPLICATION AT SOURCE

Target- and Source-based De-duplication

• Moves ~ 2 percent of primary data weekly

• Up to 50 times reduction in backup storage

• Up to 500 times reduction in network impact

• Up to 10 times faster daily full backups

• All backups are full; immediate, single-step recovery

• Next-generation backup and recovery

• Moves ~ 200 percent of primary data weekly

• Up to 50 times reduction backup storage

• Backups are typically restored from full and incremental images

• Data viewed as file systems and/or virtual tape library target for traditional backup environments

Network Network

There are strong use cases for both technologies… but only source-based de-duplication reduces network bandwidth requirements and decreases resource utilization during backups.

TARGET DE-DUPLICATION

Up to 50x reduction in backup storage Moves 200% of primary data weekly Fits seamlessly into existing backup

and restore environments Backups are typically restored from

full and incremental images

Both Architectures Achieve Similar Storage OptimizationsOnly source-based approach reduces network bandwidth requirements and provides immediate, one-step restore

VMware VMware

Optimized Backup for VMware Infrastructure

• Optimal location: Reduces data at the source– Data deduplicated at VM guest or proxy server (source)– Duplicated data never traverses congested shared physical

resources– Data moved during backup is reduced from ~200% to ~2% of

primary data weekly– Deduplicates data globally across virtual machines and/or VMDK

(virtual machine disk) format files

• Optimal granularity: Sub-file, variable-length segments– VMDK is one large file; any changes cause an incremental/full

traditional backup– Fixed-length segment deduplication solutions fail due to frame

offset– Avamar efficiently moves only new, unique variable length data

segments

• Ideal for the protection of VMware environments– Delivers fast, daily full backups over existing virtual and physical

infrastructure– Enables greater server consolidation by eliminating backup

bottlenecks– Maximizes value from VMware

Avamar deduplicates at the optimal location and level of granularity

Solutions for VMware Infrastructure

Flexible, fast, efficient, and reliable backup and recovery

• Universal support for all vSphere 4 backup options– Daily full guest- and image-level

backups• vStorage API integration

– Greater backup and restore flexibility• VMware vCenter Server integration

– Single point of management within Avamar for all VMware backup options

Avamar and VMware vSphere 4 integration

Optimized Backup for Vmware Infrastructure

Avamar efficiently protects virtual machinesUp to…

• 95% reduction in data moved• 90% reduction in backup times• 50% reduction in disk impact• 95% reduction in NIC usage• 80% reduction in CPU usage• 50% reduction in memory usage

All backups are stored as “virtual full backups,” ready for immediate restore

Enables greater server consolidation ratios without overtaxing CPU utilization

Avamar moves ~2% weekly

Traditional moves ~200% weekly

Avamar Solves Key Backup ChallengesDesktop /

Laptop

Desktop and Laptop Backup and Recovery The business challenge

• Desktop and laptop backup is mostly manual– IT professionals rely on end users to backup their machines manually– End users rely on IT professionals to recovery lost files

• Today’s workforce is on the move– 25% of today’s workforce is mobile*– 75% of businesses see an increase in remote workers*– Mac laptop usage up, Windows laptop usage down

• Ability to protecting confidential information– 53% mobile users carry confidential company information– Of those, 65% take no steps to protect data*

• Multiple approaches to desktop/laptop protection– Local, standalone PC-based backup: CD, DVD, memory stick, USB drive– Copy files to network share for integration with server backup– Traditional server-based backup with client agents for desktops/laptops
