At EMC World 2012, EMC has released new EMC Data Domain and EMC Avamar deduplication systems and software that transform the backup and recovery landscape. The new products are purpose-built backup appliances that tightly integrate with each other, with backup software and with enterprise applications.
New software broadens Data Domain archiving capabilities for extended retention and regulatory compliance, expands the Data Domain Boost ecosystem and enhances the Data Domain Data Invulnerability Architecture. New EMC Avamar 6.1 deduplication software and system delivers 3x the backup performance and 30x the recovery performance of its nearest competitor in VMware environments. Avamar 6.1 simplifies backup management for business critical applications and expands Microsoft Hyper-V support to deliver complete protection for virtual server environments
William "BJ" Jenkins, President, Backup Recovery Systems Division, EMC, said, "EMC is delivering high-performance scalable appliances that integrate with each other, with backup software and with enterprise applications. Customers embarking upon transformation of IT have asked us for these capabilities because it is essential that backup infrastructures align to these new IT infrastructures. Over time, traditional backup products that do not take this end-to-end view, in effect, paint users into a corner. Our mission is to give our customers the flexibility to architect their backup infrastructures strategically, leveraging the broad product choices and integration capabilities that only EMC can deliver, and then enable them to continually evolve their backup and recovery to help drive their IT transformation efforts."
