Avamar Archive Manager

Avamar Technologies has announced the release of Avamar Archive Manager. Avamar Archive Manager provides fully automated, policy-based integration between Avamar Axion and EMC Centera.

With Avamar's Axion software, enterprises can cost effectively store years' worth of archives on disk storage and automatically protect data stored in remote branch offices across the WAN. EMC Centera provides enterprises with a highly scalable, compliant repository for data archives, leveraging single-instance-store technology for efficient use of disk storage. Avamar Archive Manager with support for EMC Centera provides enterprises with the most efficient, end-to-end solution for data backup, recovery, and archive on disk storage, all of which can be easily and quickly searched to meet compliance requirements or legal discovery requests.

The Avamar Archive Manager with support for EMC Centera was designed to solve the many challenges enterprises face managing backup, replication, restore, and archive. EMC Centera provides a simple, scalable, and secure storage solution for retention, protection, and disposition of a wide range of fixed content. With its tremendous efficiency - up to 99.7% data reduction on a daily basis - Avamar Axion can automatically protect data both in corporate data centers and in remote sites over the WAN, creating a central repository of data backups, which can then be archived to Centera, while preserving storage efficiency across the two platforms.

More importantly, Avamar provides rich, secure access to data backups and archives stored in both Axion and Centera through the Avamar File System (AvFS). With AvFS, Avamar can provide a file system view of data archives to certified applications, such as Fast Search & Transfer (FAST) or Google.

By automating data backup and archive, and reducing the risk of "silent" data loss due to loss or corruption of tapes, enterprises can save money, while keeping all of their backups and archives available on online disk storage.
