Today’s Data Protection Reality Pressure to meet the changing needs of the business Data growth is immense Companies want more data protected Time required for backup is expanding Backup hampered by tape’s unreliability and poor performance Virtual machines pose unique backup challenges Increasing volume of data at remote offices More data stored locally on desktops and laptops © Copyright 2010 EMC Corporation. All rights reserved. 3

The Usual Answers Backup to tape, or stage to disk, and then archive to tape Manually move tapes offsite for disaster recovery Traditional backup and recovery Inefficient and slow, ~200% of primary data moved across the network weekly Tedious, multi-step recovery process Risks the loss or theft of unencrypted tapes in transit Data is difficult to recover and leverage © Copyright 2010 EMC Corporation.

Avamar: How it Works Global, sub-file data deduplication Break data into atom (sub-file, variable -length segments of data) Send and store each atom only once Avamar backup repository O H O H H H H O H H At the source—Deduplication before data is transported across the network At the target—Assures coordinated deduplication across sites, servers, and over time Granular—Small, variable-length sub-file segments guarantee most effective deduplication © Copyright 2010 EMC Corporation.
