Overview of EMC Avamar EMC Avamar backup and recovery software with integrated source and global data deduplication solves the challenges associated with traditional backup, enabling fast, efficient protection for remote offices, VMware environments, desktop/laptop, applications and data center LAN/NAS servers. Unlike traditional backup solutions, EMC Avamar identifies redundant data segments at the source (client) before they are transferred across the network. By moving only new, unique subfile data segments, EMC Avamar delivers fast daily full backups while reducing the required daily network bandwidth by up to 500. This capability allows companies to utilize existing network bandwidth for backup and disaster recovery of remote offices and data centers, despite slow or congested networks and infrastructure. Data can be encrypted both in flight and at rest for added security, and centralized management makes protecting hundreds of remote offices easy and efficient. By storing just a single instance of each subfile data segment globally, EMC Avamar also reduces total back-end storage by up to 50, enabling cost-effective disk-based recovery over extended periods of time. EMC Compatibility Matrix policies and requirements Purpose and limitations of this document This document is for information only and may change at any time. This version supersedes and replaces all previous versions. The information serves only as a guide for those configurations/products that EMC has qualified. This document identifies and lists various vendor host s and integral components that have been tested and qualified by EMC for use with EMC products. Vendor components include, but are not limited to, host operating s, databases, and mail servers. This document also lists various vendors and configurations that EMC has tested or qualified for use with EMC products. The information included in this document is intended as a guide in the configuration of s for EMC products. It is not intended to be the sole resource for EMC website, other EMC documentation, or relevant vendor documentation, or your EMC Sales or EMC Customer Service representative will provide more information or answers to questions not found in this document. Policies for qualifying Policies and procedures for support of EMC products are set forth in the customer s applicable agreements. EMC publication of information relating to configurations covers only those listed in this document or by approval from EMC Engineering. Other configurations not found in this document are not qualified without EMC Engineering approval. EMC has qualified hardware and software provided only by the vendors listed in this document. Host s, hardware and software from other vendors are not qualified, and may never be. EMC Avamar Compatibility and Interoperability Matrix 5
Contact your EMC Sales or EMC Customer Service representative for updates or information not included in this document. EMC maintains a large collection of the products as well as third-party application software for qualification with EMC backup and recovery s and to simulate customer environments, but you must consult the vendors for information about their s. Policy for future qualification of software releases The information in this document is maintained by EMC, and EMC strives to update this document with new releases of hardware, operating s, firmware, BIOS, applications, and so on, as they become available from the vendors. EMC works with the vendors during their development and release processes in order to be fully informed at the time the vendors release new versions. EMC does not announce qualification prior to vendors general availability; in these cases and in cases where advance preparation is not possible, EMC may test and qualify vendors products as appropriate after they have been released. For early support of such products including vendor beta participation, contact your EMC Sales or EMC Customer Service representative. Policy for end-of-life support EMC strives to continue support for any installed s, but may remove support from this matrix for new installations within three months after the vendor has announced that this has reached the end of life. EMC will continue support for existing installations of hardware, operating s, and components that the vendor has officially declared to have reached end of life as long as support is available from the vendor.

EMC Avamar client-server interoperability Table 1 lists the Avamar client-server interoperability support matrix. Table 1: EMC Avamar client-server interoperability Avamar Server Version Avamar client version.7..0..1 5.0.x.0.7..0..1. 5.0..0.x For the latest Avamar Client Package, there is no need to perform a server upgrade to get the latest client enhancements, as an existing Avamar v.x or v5.x server can be upgraded with the new client code. There are a few exceptions to this for the following items: VMware vsphere support requires the Avamar 5.0 GA server (build 5.0.0-07 or greater) VMWare vsphere.1 ES and ESi support integration requires the Avamar v5.0 SP server and the updated VMware proxy client included in the Avamar v5.0sp release NAT support requires the Avamar 5.0 GA server (build 5.0.0-07 or greater) and Mac Desktop and Laptop support requires the Avamar 5.0 GA server (build 5.0.0-07 or greater) and Mac Desktop/Laptop support requires Avamar server & client 5.0. Localization updates for Desktop/Laptop requires the Avamar v5.0 SP server and the updated Desktop/Laptop client(s) included in the Avamar v5.0sp release The following SQL Plugin features requires Avamar 5.0 Service Pack 1 server (build 5.0.1- or greater) o SQL automated log tail backups, SQL point in time recovery, SQL forced incremental backups The Exchange VSS Plug-in Granular Level Recovery (GLR) feature requires Avamar.0 server The SharePoint VSS Plug-in requires Avamar.0 server Data Domain integration requires Avamar.0 server EMC Avamar Compatibility and Interoperability Matrix 7
