Full Summary:
It almost goes without saying that storage administrators continue to grapple with managing ever increasing volumes of data. On average, Evaluator Group sees a 50% annual growth rate in the amount of data stored among its user clients. Certainly one of the first places we see the stress that rapid data growth creates is on data protection processes.
The limitations of traditional NAS backup processes that require lengthy, recurring level-0 full backups and daily incrementals via NDMP can leave data unprotected when backup windows are exceeded and prevent organizations from optimizing their NAS environments. Here we review a unique solution from EMC Avamar for NAS system backup. Avamar for NAS implements data deduplication coupled with appliance-resident software that accelerates backups using the NDMP protocol.
NAS environments can exhibit a relatively high degree of data redundancy. Eliminating duplicate data from the backup stream will accelerate data protection processes and reduce the capacity required to store backup copies. Use of NDMP coupled with technology that accelerates NDMP backup processes will drive further data protection efficiency and effectiveness.
Bottom line: Faster and more reliable backup and recovery processes promote a more efficient and effective data protection environment. In addition, they allow IT administrators to consolidate and grow NAS file shares beyond their current limits.
