What is your primary use case for Dell EMC Avamar?

Most of our users work from home and we use Avamar to backup our users' data.

We use the solution to protect our end points

Primary use case is for Enterprise Grade Backup and Recovery. It has a really great source-based dedupe technology that’s incremental forever. So it’s a really good backup solution for remote locations with limited bandwidth (WAN & LAN)

We primarily use the solution as a backup.

We use the on site version.

We recently stopped using this solution but it was being used to back up our servers and client machines. We were using an on-premises deployment.

We use the solution to protect our virtual machine.

Data backup is our primary usage of the solution.

We use this solution for tape backup and data domain. It is an on-premises deployment.

Backup of virtual machines.

This product is very easy to use. The interface is easier to use than other backup solutions. The product is mature and can handle all of our data protection.

File level, backup and recovery of data stored on AIX, Linux, and Windows server to Data Domain storage.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

We are system integrators. We resell, we deploy, and we support our clients.

It was initially used for remote office, branch office backups, but eventually, it started to be used for small and large data centers.

We primarily use the solution for virtual infrastructure.

We deal with data that has compliance requirements for long-term retention, which is like 10 years plus the life of the client. As long as they're in our program, we have to keep anything related to them for that time period, which can run up to 30 years. We deal with all things related to that. I'm a storage management specialist and we are customers of Dell.

I recently stopped using this product because my work moved away from operations and I'm now a patents director, so I generally do the designing. My client was looking for backups and for an application along with a desktop backup. We are partners with Dell and I'm the deputy general manager of the company.

As solution providers, we provide solutions to meet the objectives and goals of customers. We provide a general global architecture and the right solution that will solve a customer's problem and meet the goal at the fixed cost. If the customer doesn't mention a specific provider, then to meet the goal, we use the provider that we have to.

In Romania, more customers own their enterprise software. But the new wave wants to also try cloud data centers and cloud backup and so on.

Our company has more than 5,000 employees, and we use the Avamar solution for the protection of our rear environment, we are protecting 1,500+ VMs using this solution.
