EMC Avamar Compatibility and Interoperability Matrix Revision 19 – August 2011 • Added support for CentOS 6, Debian 6, OEL 6, Ubuntu 10.04 LTS/10.10 and Solaris 11 Express (Table 2) • Added support for IBM DB2 on RHEL 4,5 (Table 3) • Added support for Lotus Notes 8.5.x on AIX 5.3 (Table 3) • Added support for Oracle 10gR2 on MSCS with Oracle Failsafe 3.4.2 (Table 3) • Added support for IOMEGA StorCenter px4-300d, px4-300r and px6-300d NAS appliances (Table 10) EMC 4 Avamar Compatibility and Interoperability Matrix
Overview of EMC Avamar EMC Avamar Compatibility and Interoperability Matrix EMC Avamar ® backup and recovery software with integrated source and global data deduplication solves the challenges associated with traditional backup, enabling fast, efficient protection for remote offices, VMware environments, desktop/laptop, applications and data center LAN/NAS servers. Unlike traditional backup solutions, EMC Avamar identifies redundant data segments at the source (client)—before they are transferred across the network. By moving only new, unique subfile data segments, EMC Avamar delivers fast daily full backups while reducing the required daily network bandwidth by up to 500X. This capability allows companies to utilize existing network bandwidth for backup and disaster recovery of remote offices and data centers, despite slow or congested networks and infrastructure. Data can be encrypted both in flight and at rest for added security, and centralized management makes protecting hundreds of remote offices easy and efficient. By storing just a single instance of each subfile data segment globally, EMC Avamar also reduces total back-end storage by up to 50X, enabling cost-effective disk-based recovery over extended periods of time.
