Avamar Solutions for Virtualized Infrastructure

In this Knowledge Sharing article, Balaji Panchanathan, Satchidananda Patra, and Pravin Ashok Kumar focus on how Avamar can be used in Hyper-V, Azure Cloud, and ESX.

Recent market analysis indicates MS Hyper-V holds 30.6% market share in the private cloud space, versus VMware at 46%. The Hyper-V market share presents an opportunity for EMC to sell Avamar virtual backup appliances to customers with MS Hyper-V infrastructure.
