Dell Avamar has significantly streamlined our data deduplication and backup processes across the board. When it comes to reliable backup solutions, we occasionally integrate Data Domain and Isilon, including Isilon RCS, into our backup strategy alongside Avamar.

Integrating and managing Avamar with other systems in our IT environment is highly straightforward.

The deduplication technology has significantly improved our storage efficiency, thanks to its embedded nature. It's a combination of hardware and software features working hand in hand, complementing each other. This synergy, based on deduplication and data compression, often results in impressive ratios, such as a 32:1 reduction in data footprint within the tenant domain.

We have divided our infrastructure into two categories: server infrastructure and endpoints. We create endpoint backups in Avamar while the server backups are stored in the cloud.

We have Avamar Gen4 right now, which is already end-of-life, which is to be replaced this year with a better solution from either EMC or IBM.

We are going to replace the overall data solutions for our enterprise. Already the project is in a negotiation stage with EMC, IBM, and Huawei.

By bringing in Avamar and keeping the repository on the data domain, we got a very high DDU and high compression and reduction in data size.

There are occasions where we have a problem with the system, and we can either try to fix it or recover it. With rapid recovery, we can get the system operational where people can get access to it in less than 10 minutes. So, we can have a problem with a system, and instead of messing around with it, we can bring up the copy. If it is a system that doesn't allow you to have a lot of daily change rate in the data, we can bring up yesterday's copy or last night's copy and have it up and running online in less than 10 minutes.

We have a lot of backups, and this tool helps us with the RMAN Backup.

The simplicity of use and the ease of updating physical client software is one of the best features.

Very reliable tool.

The product works. It does, however, require a significant amount of handholding from support. The support is good, but we should not have to reach out to them so often. 

Reduced backup times.

I think the brand is very good. Support is also very nice for end-users and integration with EMC products for businesses. Customers choose this EMC product because they also have this brand in their infrastructure.

Dell Avamar has helped our organization by allowing us to do backups. We can tell machines to do backups in the application.

I've helped several organizations reduce the backup window and they could spend time on optimizing other bits of IT infra.

My Organisation provides Backup as services. DD Avamar used full for shared platform for customers.
