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

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

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

Number of Remote Offices
Source: Enterprise Strategy Group, Remote Office/Branch Office Technology Trends, July 2011
Lots of remote offices and growing quickly
 67% of midmarket firms have 10 or fewer ROBOs
 57% of enterprise firms have 50 or more ROBOs

Data at Remote Offices
 On average: 39% have < 1 TB; 24% have 1-5 TB

ROBO Backup and Recovery Challenges
• Reasons to consider ROBO backup via WAN to a
centralized location
– Concerns about backup data security at ROBO
– Storage system costs
– ROBO backup quality is poor (speed, reliability, frequency)
– Lack of qualified IT resources at ROBO
– Concerns about regulatory compliancy
– Administrative staff costs
– Storage media costs, Tape islands at each location
– Offsite courier costs

Deduplication Is the Key
• Relieves congested networks
• Contains backup storage
growth
• Reduces backup time
• Provides more effective
disaster recovery
• Enables daily full backups

Deduplication Is the Enabler
Move and store less data
1. Divides data into variable-length sub-file segments
2. Determines if segments are unique or duplicate
3. Backs up only unique data
4. Sends data compressed and encrypted

Customer Pain Points
• Data outside corporate backup policies
• Users define how to backup data – security
and reliability issues
• Slow and cost prohibitive to backup laptop
data via WAN
• Backups are too time and resource intensive
on user system

More Data Now Residing Outside the
Traditional Data Center
• 1.78 billion personal computers will
be in use by 2015*
• 946 million mobile workers
worldwide in 2009 and...**
• ...growing to 1.19 billion by 2015 or
about 35% of global workforce**
“While edge devices can be a tremendous boon to productivity,
they pose significant risks.”***

USE CASE
St. Peter’s Health Care Services
Backing up a VMware infrastructure
Before Avamar
 Data center redesign focused on server consolidation
and virtualization
 Concern about traditional, tape-based backup in
VMware environment
 Backup windows strained; physical resources
overburdened
With Avamar
 Deployed agents within virtual machines
 95% reduction in data moved
 90% reduction in backup times
 Major reductions in NIC, CPU, and memory usage
 Centralized management and control
“Avamar provides a huge
time and cost savings
for backup of multiple
virtual machines.”
With Avamar, we can
centrally manage all of
our backups, and we
also gain the ability to
rapidly restore data
down to the file level.”
— Curtis Damhof,
Network Manager,
St. Peter’s Health Care Services

USE CASE
Virginia Department of Motor
Vehicles
Remote-office/branch-office backup
Before Avamar
 73 remote offices, backup to local, direct-attached
tape drives
 No local IT staff
 Daily backup required five hours per site; six hours to
restore entire server
With Avamar
 Four hours to back up all 73 offices through existing
WAN (56k-T1) to central Avamar server
 45 minutes to restore entire servers; files restored in
seconds
 Centralized management and control
“Avamar enabled us to
reduce administrative
support requirements
by 80%, reduce backup
windows by 90%, and
recover lost files and
servers in minutes
rather than hours.”
— Mike DePhillip,
Backup Administrator,
Virginia DMV
