What is grid Avamar?

The Avamar server grid is a collection of nodes, up to 16 of them in a rack. Each server node has its own dedicated storage. Data is written to this storage, and protected within a node via RAID. Data is also protected across nodes via parity.

What is the maximum storage capacity in a single node configuration of the Avamar server?

Avamar server will be installed on VMware ESX server Virtual Machine. It will be single node non-RAIN server up to maximum capacity of 2TB.

What are the advantages of Ave over physical Avamar systems?

Data Protection for VMware AVE uses Avamar data protection technology to protect VMware virtual environments. An advantage of AVE is the ability to perform end-point backups, including file systems and mission critical applications residing within remote offices.

What are the licensed storage capacity supported in a multi-node Avamar system?

Storage Nodes. Only 3.9 TB and 7.8 TB storage nodes are offered in multi-node Avamar servers. The other two configurations (1.3 TB and 2.6 TB) are offered only as single node Avamar servers.

What is avamar?

Dell EMC Avamar is proven backup and recovery software that delivers secure data protection for cloud, remote offices, desktops, laptops, and data centers. Tight integration into VMware interfaces makes Avamar an ideal solution for protecting any workloads running in a VMware environment.

What is avamar used for?

Which RAID types does Avamar support?

The Avamar system provides up to four levels of systematic fault tolerance: RAID, RAIN, replication, and checkpoints. Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID). All standard Avamar server node configurations use RAID to protect the system from disk failures.

Which of the following RAID types protect an Avamar server from disk data corruption or failure?

Avamar ensures protection from disk and data corruption through the use of RAID (redundant array of independent disks). The type of RAID depends on the particular node type. Just FYI, the Utility node and NDMP accelerator nodes both only have 2 146GB physical disks configured with RAID-1.
