EMC delivers industry's first de-duplication backup solution on VMware infrastructure
EMC has launched the new EMC Avamar Virtual Edition for VMware Infrastructure and EMC Avamar Data Store, two innovative solutions that extend EMC's leading data de-duplication software capabilities and transform the way customers evaluate and approach data protection.

With the new EMC Avamar Virtual Edition for VMware Infrastructure, this new, fully virtualized deployment model combines those de-duplication gains with the server and storage efficiencies of VMware's Virtual Infrastructure. VMware customers can now deploy EMC Avamar software within the virtual infrastructure and eliminate the need for dedicated backup server infrastructure, while dramatically speeding backups and simplifying backup management.
EMC Avamar Data Store is a complete, packaged solution consisting of leading EMC Avamar data de-duplication backup and recovery software running on pre-configured EMC-certified hardware.
Together these new offerings simplify and expand the deployment options for EMC Avamar's patented global de-duplication software to manage backup growth for remote offices, branch offices, data center LANs, and VMware environments.
