VMware VADP
VMware VADP produces in-depth details of sizing, deployment, and data flow, providing a total
VMware data protection plan that can be used in conjunction with Avamar on Vblock systems.
VMware Changed Block Tracking
VMware Changed Block Tracking is a VMware feature that helps perform incremental backups.
VMware Data Recovery uses this technology, and so can developers of backup and recovery
software. Avamar leverages this feature for efficient backup of VMware guest servers.
VMware VMDK
VMware VMDK is a file format used for virtual appliances developed for VMware products. The format
is a container for virtual hard disk drives to be used in VMs like VMware Workstation or Virtualbox.
VMDK is an open format.
A VM is a tightly isolated software container that can run its own operating system and applications as
if it were a physical computer. A VM behaves exactly like a physical computer and contains it own
virtual (software-based) CPU, RAM, hard disk, and network interface card (NIC). A VM is composed
entirely of software and contains no hardware components whatsoever. As a result, VMs offer a
number of distinct advantages over physical hardware. An operating system can’t tell the difference
between a VM and a physical machine, nor can applications or other computers on a network. Even
the VM thinks it is a “real” computer.
Data Domain target hardware
EMC Data Domain is a storage target for deduplicated backup savesets. Data Domain targets
provide:
High-speed deduplication of backup data, with a consistent ingestion rate, regardless of how
well any particular data set will deduplicate. A good example is deduplication of unstructured
data backups. Even though databases do not typically deduplicate very well, a Data Domain
target does not bog down while ingesting and storing the backup.
More backups, and faster completion of backups, which relieves pressure on already tight
backup windows.
Network-efficient replication. Data Domain sends only deduplicated and compressed data
across the network, requiring a fraction of the bandwidth, time, and cost of traditional replication
methods.
End-to-end data integrity. Data Domain and its Data Invulnerability Architecture (DIA) provide
safe and reliable continuous recovery verification, fault detection, and healing.
