EMC Avamar utilizes patented global data deduplication technology to identify redundant data at the source, minimizing backup data before it is sent over the LAN/WAN. With Avamar, you can achieve new levels of data reduction and enable fast, secure backup and recovery for your remote offices, data center LANs, and VMware environments, while reducing the amount of time required for backups, the growth of secondary storage, and network utilization.

Avamar backups function like full backups and can be quickly recovered in just one step—without restoring full backups and subsequent incrementals. In addition, Avamar verifies backup data recoverability—so there are no surprises—and encrypts data for secure electronic backups.
