What is your primary use case for Dell Avamar?

We position Avamar as a backup for the VMware environment.

I use the solution in my company as a backup tool. For improving the data backup process, Dell Avamar component was basically chosen because of the type of customer base that we work with presently. The upfront use of the tool was based on the fact that the customer's background was geared toward using such a solution. It is used by those who prefer Windows-based VMs, and so many were enticed to use the tool. Currently, Dell's benefit is precisely the IDPA component, which is a module package that comes in a combination. Secondly, it uses Dell Avamar's very fast and effective deduplication engine.

In Avamar, we work within the IT environment, integrating state-of-the-art solutions. Avamar is installed on appliances, and we initialize it using specific tools. If you're starting with the basic setup, you can install the OVA file within Dell's management center. For this solution, we utilize E-Lab Navigator.

There are two main use case for Dell Avamar in our organization. Firstly, it was used for virtual machines in our virtualization environment, but we replaced it with Veeam as it wasn't working well for us. Secondly, we use Dell Avamar as a backup solution for our clients and employees, and it performs very well in this role.

We use the tool to create backups of every system we have in the infrastructure.

In our company, we handle five different types of data from VME, Windows, SQL and other sources. The complete backup of forty lead machines is implemented daily using Dell Avamar in our organization.

Dell Avamar is a source-based backup solution. It is the best backup solution for people with laptops and desktops from various offices with a small bandwidth. We also use it for remote office backup tasks.

We use the Dell Avamar solution to backup endpoints, including desktops and laptops. We also use it to back up virtual servers using Dell Avamar. With this server, we take backups of all the employees' desktops and laptops. We haven't encountered any backup and restore problems with Avamar. If we will need any support, we will get it from Dell.

Our clients have found Avamar to be effective for their backup and disaster recovery needs. It serves as a comprehensive data protection suite, meeting the requirements of all virtualization platforms.

It specifically caters to the backup needs of our data, ensuring secure and compliant operations.

My clients use Avamar to back up VM solutions on VMware's infrastructure.

Our primary use case for Dell Avamar is backup and verification.

Our primary use case for Dell Avamar is for backup purposes.

We use this solution for backups and restoring. The solution can be deployed on cloud or on-premises.

We're using Dell Avamar for data and endpoint protection.

Our use case for this solution is robust and involves backing up various systems.

Dell Avamar is integrated with data protection and data domain. We have integrated it with vCenter and a couple of virtual machines from Dell Avamar to the data protection sources.

We're using it in our company. We primarily use the solution as a backup.

We use Dell Avamar for backing up a VMware environment.

When Avamar started out, it used to be for a small to medium environment, but now it's done a lot of changes and it's a good backup solution, especially within your VMware environment.

We've been using this solution to backup our servers. It is a simple backup and restore data application.

Dell EMC Avamar is a backup solution. It has integration with the hardware that Dell has and you can backup many things, such as snapshots.

When I was working for a company we used Dell EMC Avamar to backups of the system's data.

We use Dell EMC Avamar for backing up the data on the endpoint devices of the users.

Dell EMC Avamar is used for backups and data recovery.

We have three sites. We deployed Avamar on one site three years ago then added the same setup for the other sites. Following best practices, we're using Avamar with Dell Data Domain for data compression and deduplication.

My primary use case is backend storage for our VMs. We are fully virtualized, using VMware for our virtualization layer, and we use multiple VMs for our applications, so we have multiple workloads for the education school information systems. Then we have our ERP and HR systems, and our infrastructure monitoring the networking solutions, and so on. All these VMs are backed up using Avamar.

We use it for our desktops and laptops end-users. We have a network in place for server backup and archive.

We primarily use the solution as a backup. Avamar is used to back up our production workloads. Production workloads include Oracle, EBS, SharePoint, file and print service, other application services.

I'm using the solution for our entire daily data backup for laptops and desktops. We also use it for some of our virtual machines and some of our databases systems.

The solution can be used for the backing up of all environments, including those which are virtual and involve databases and applications.

It is our main backup system while we're in the middle of switching over to Cohesity.

The primary use case is for remote office or branch office type protection. We don't have a current instance. It is pretty old. We have tried desperately to decommission Avamar.

The primary use case is backup, but in this case, my customers want to offload the Avamar server on tape.

We use Dell EMC Avamar for our critical servers backups.

We use Avamar for all of our backup and data management solutions in our co-location facility. I have two co-location facilities with one in Carrollton, Texas, and one in Austin. I have data domains, Avamar platforms, and Avamar software that we use across our enterprise. I manage a global technology team and a global infrastructure team. We use those platforms across all of our data centers, as well as on our sites where we have on-premises storage for either our Burrtec solutions or Isilon solutions that we have in territories, where we have to have data remain in the country due to the compliance requirements. We use it globally.

It is a backup solution. So, we do daily backups of around 3,000 VMware guests. That is normally just an image backup where it goes to the VMware API, backs up the image file, and then puts it on the backend to Avamar into Data Domain. It has a specialized storage system that does dedupe and compression, so we can get more on a single disk array. We have more than one site. We have a primary site and a secondary site. At the Data Domain level, we replicate site to site every backup every day so that we have the availability in our secondary site for every VM. The replication is done with the architecture of the Data Domain itself. We have the rapid recovery solution that allows you to stand up any box at either location and have it come up online within just a minute or two. That's done via NFS. It becomes a data store into VMware, and then you vMotion it out. So, it has got rapid recovery at both locations as well. We are using its newest version. We keep it up to date.

We use it as a backup and restore solution for our customers. For replication, we use the Data Domain application. We replicate from our primary site to the DR site.

My customer has a huge virtual environment — vCenter and VMware. They need images backed up, they have different workloads like Oracle, SAP, and NetWorker. They have a compliance policy that they have to tape out but Avamar, out of the box, cannot do the tape out. That's why I had to introduce NetWorker into the picture.

We use a basic called a DPS. Typically, we are using mostly networkers just to back up most of the workloads, like cellphone audio ware and the connection, et cetera.

Our company is Dell EMCs largest partner in Egypt and the Middle East. We have a titanium partnership with them and I'm the senior infrastructure solutions specialist.

We primarily use the solution the database replications in web hosting, mostly.

We are using Dell EMC Avamar for backing up our virtual environment.

We use this product for Windows and Linux servers, and we have both file and database backups stored on them. We use them at smaller sites, which are small offices that are located around the world.

The primary use case of this solution was for projects to backup customer laptops for the application capabilities.

In a data center, the entire workloads are virtualized, and they are backing up the content, and sometimes because of bandwidth, operations need to be backed up quickly. In that kind of scenario, this source site replication is very supportive. Avamar evaluates the data that's already backed up, and only the chain blocks can be transferred via the network. There won't be any heavy network traffic, and the time it takes to backup is quick and within the window. On the client-side, we can also backup clients with Avamar. These days with the pandemic, most of them work from home, and we're using less network bandwidth to backup end user transfers.

We are system integrators who are selling backup solutions, and Dell EMC Avamar is one of the products that we implement for our clients. I had come across it for backing up laptops and VMware but previously, I have had clients using it to backup system machines like AIX, Solaris, and others. Slowly, people are moving away from those.
