EMC Avamar Virtual Edition for VMware, a fully virtualized backup and recovery solution, combines the value of data deduplication with the efficiencies of VMware virtual infrastructure. With Avamar Virtual Edition you’ll accelerate and simplify virtual machine backup and eliminate the need for a dedicated backup server infrastructure.

Avamar’s patented global, source-based data deduplication technology enables you to reduce the size of backup data within and across virtual machines—before it traverses the network or virtual infrastructure and is stored. This will unburden your underlying hardware resources, and in turn increase backup performance in your virtualized environment.
