VMware vSphere Data Protection Powered by Avamar

Replaces vSphere Data Recovery.

EMC Corporation and VMware, Inc. announced a backup and recovery solution for VMware vSphere 5.1.  

The new VMware vSphere Data Protection solution is built on EMC Avamar deduplication backup software technology and is delivered as a part of VMware vSphere 5.1.

It replaces vSphere Data Recovery – previously available with vSphere – providing a more cost-effective, reliable and easy-to-use solution to protect VMware environments.

vSphere Data Protection leverages Avamar software including variable-length deduplication, support of Changed Block Tracking and single-step restores to minimize storage resource consumption, reduce backup windows and enable fast recovery.

It can be managed directly from the vSphere Web Client and takes advantage of the vSphere Storage APIs for Data Protection to enable agent-less backup.

In addition to vSphere Data Protection, VMware continues to foster innovation in the backup for virtual environments supporting a broad partner community. VMware plans to continue investment in the vSphere Storage APIs for Data Protection to enable integration of third-party backup and recovery with the vSphere platform.   

Bogomil Balkansky, SVP, Cloud Infrastructure Products, VMware, said: "Backup and recovery is a critical element of virtualization implementations. Our selection of EMC Avamar technology enables us to deliver better backup and recovery capabilities directly from the VMware vSphere platform. VMware vSphere Data Protection represents a tremendous value-add for our customers and delivers yet another point of differentiation for vSphere 5.1."

David Vellante, co-founder, The Wikibon Project, said: "The inclusion of Avamar technology into VMware vSphere 5.1 delivers a robust and highly integrated virtual backup and recovery capability that’s easy to use.  Smaller businesses and departments within larger organizations are the primary beneficiaries of this initial release, as well those who are at the outset of their virtualization journey. VMware has clearly taken virtual backup and recovery to the next level with this valuable addition to its platform."

William "BJ" Jenkins, president, EMC Backup Recovery Systems Division, said: "EMC has established a market leading pedigree in the backup and recovery space with its Avamar, Data Domain and NetWorker products. Avamar deduplication software and system has garnered tremendous acceptance in the VMware user community as an enterprise backup and recovery solution that’s specifically optimized for VMware environments. The inclusion of Avamar capabilities into VMware vSphere Data Protection helps ensure that VMware users always have a highly effective tool for virtual machine protection today and into the future."
