Overview of EMC Avamar

®
EMC Avamar backup and recovery software with integrated source and global data
deduplication solves the challenges associated with traditional backup, enabling fast,
efficient protection for remote offices, VMware environments, desktop/laptop,
applications and data center LAN/NAS servers.
Unlike traditional backup solutions, EMC Avamar identifies redundant data segments at
the source (client)—before they are transferred across the network. By moving only
new, unique subfile data segments, EMC Avamar delivers fast daily full backups while
reducing the required daily network bandwidth by up to 500X. This capability allows
companies to utilize existing network bandwidth for backup and disaster recovery of
remote offices and data centers, despite slow or congested networks and infrastructure.
Data can be encrypted both in flight and at rest for added security, and centralized
management makes protecting hundreds of remote offices easy and efficient.
By storing just a single instance of each subfile data segment globally, EMC Avamar also
reduces total back-end storage by up to 50X, enabling cost-effective disk-based recovery
over extended periods of time.
EMC Compatibility Matrix policies and requirements
Purpose and limitations of this document

This document is for information only and may change at any time. This version
supersedes and replaces all previous versions. The information serves only as a guide
for those configurations/products that EMC has qualified. This document identifies and
lists various vendor host systems and integral components that have been tested and
®
qualified by EMC for use with EMC products. Vendor components include, but are not
limited to, host operating systems, databases, and mail servers. This document also lists
various vendors and configurations that EMC has tested or qualified for use with EMC
products.
The information included in this document is intended as a guide in the configuration of
systems for EMC products. It is not intended to be the sole resource for system
configurations. EMC website, other EMC documentation, or relevant vendor
documentation, or your EMC Sales or EMC Customer Service representative will provide
more information or answers to questions not found in this document.
Policies for qualifying

Policies and procedures for support of EMC products are set forth in the customer’s
applicable agreements. EMC publication of information relating to system
configurations covers only those listed in this document or by approval from EMC
Engineering. Other system configurations not found in this document are not qualified
without EMC Engineering approval. EMC has qualified hardware and software provided
only by the vendors listed in this document. Host systems, hardware and software from
other vendors are not qualified, and may never be.
4 EMC Ava m a r Co m p a tib ility a nd Intero p era b ility Ma trix

Contact your EMC Sales or EMC Customer Service representative for updates or
information not included in this document.
EMC maintains a large collection of the products as well as third-party application
software for qualification with EMC backup and recovery systems and to simulate
customer environments, but you must consult the vendors for information about their
systems.
Policy for future qualification of software releases

The information in this document is maintained by EMC, and EMC strives to update this
document with new releases of hardware, operating systems, firmware, BIOS,
applications, and so on, as they become available from the vendors. EMC works with the
vendors during their development and release processes in order to be fully informed at
the time the vendors release new versions. EMC does not announce qualification prior
to vendors’ general availability; in these cases and in cases where advance preparation
is not possible, EMC may test and qualify vendors’ products as appropriate after they
have been released. For early support of such products including vendor beta
participation, contact your EMC Sales or EMC Customer Service representative.
Policy for end-of-life support

EMC strives to continue support for any installed platforms, but may remove support
from this matrix for new installations within three months after the vendor has
announced that this platform has reached the end of life. EMC will continue support for
existing installations of hardware, operating systems, and components that the vendor
has officially declared to have reached end of life as long as support is available from the
vendor.

EMC Avamar Extended Retention Table Footnotes

1 HP D2D VTL devices were qualified with a QLogic 4000 series hardware initiator.
2 To avoid potential problems with interchanging tapes between 9840A, 9840B, and 9840C drives in a
mixed shop, all 9840A drives must have 1.33.109 code or higher installed, and all 9840B drives must
have 1.33.309 code or higher installed, prior to installation of any 9840C drives.
3 LTO-4/5 tape drives with out-of-band Key Management do not require integration with extended
retention.
4 Drive emulations: LTO-2, LTO-4, 9840B, 9840D, 3590, and Mammoth-2. Up to 1.500.000 virtual volumes.
Virtual volume size from 1GB to 200 GB. Silo emulations: DAS V3.1, ACSLS. Silo interfaces not supported
on W2k3 x64 and W2k8 x64. The maximum tape block size supported by the virtual drives is 256k, check
device resource attribute "device block size". The device resource attribute "volume default capacity"
should be set according to the virtual volume size. Jukebox resource attributes "load sleep", "eject
sleep", and "unload sleep" should be set to 1.
5 Use license bundle 457-100-038 when library type option is 'Sun 3.15'. Use license bundle 457-100-013
for all other library type options (i.e. L180, SL500, L700, etc.)
6 For IBM tape drives on Linux, native "st" driver was used for qualification testing. IBM Tape Driver on
Linux is NOT supported and under certain conditions may cause tapes to be overwritten.
7 The use of LTO-4/5 hardware-based encryption is supported by extended retention when controlled by
management utilities that are provided with the LTO-4/5 hardware, or by third-party key management
software. EMC does not test or certify these key management utilities; however, extended retention
can read from and write to LTO-4/5 devices that use hardware-based encryption and the use of this
encryption is transparent to extended retention. Neither the encryption nor the key management

processes are managed by the extended retention. This includes the ability to turn encryption off/on
within extended retention and the management of encryption keys.
8 Support NAS (CIFS & NFS) backup target.
9 For an IBM TS3500 (3584) multiframe jukebox with LTO drives installed, the tape drives have to be in a
contiguous sequence.
