USE CASE
Mecklenburg County
Backing up NAS Filers through the Avamar NDMP Accelerator
37
USE CASE
Before Avamar
Data center redesign focused on server consolidation
and virtualization
Concern about traditional, tape-based backup in
VMware environment
Avamar provides a huge
time and cost savings
for backup of multiple
virtual machines.
With Avamar
USE CASE

Company spokesman,
global industrial manufacturer
39
USE CASE
With Avamar
Global deduplication effective within and across VMDK files
More than 70% reduction in first backup and average of 99.7%
thereafter
Compared to traditional alternatives, testing showed:
Avamar moved 20% of the data that Symantec PureDisk moved
Avamar moved 190% less data than traditional tape backup software
40
USE CASE
Before Avamar
73 remote offices, backup to local, direct-attached tape
drives
No local IT staff
Daily backup required five hours per site; six hours to
restore entire server
Avamar enabled us to
reduce administrative
support requirements
by 80%, reduce backup
windows by 90%, and
recover lost files and
servers in minutes
rather than hours.

USE CASE
Corporate Express
Remote office/branch office backup
Before Avamar
Storage demands were rapidly increasing
Tape library was reaching slot capacity and upgrading was not
ideal due to age and maintenance costs
Needed to control costs and simplify data management
Backup and disaster recovery was time consuming
We were blown away
by the simplicity of the
management interface
and the comprehensive
capabilities offered by
Avamar. After carrying
out a proof of concept,
we clearly understood
the benefits Avamar
would bring to our
business.
With Avamar
Reduced stored data by more than 50 percentfrom 92 TB to
44 TB
Achieved significant financial savings
Enabled disk-based backups to be completed in 30 minutes,
compare to six hours in the past for tape
Reduced restoration times for business-critical data from
24 hours to minutes
