1. VIRTUAL MACHINE BACKUP & RECOVERY Deliver unified data protection of physical and virtual environments 2. CUSTOM AUTO-PROTECTION AND FILERTING Automatically discover and protect VMs based on business value. Filter out specific VMs for full customization. • EMC Avamar is limited to “On-Demand” Auto-discovery with manual configuration of new VM’s to a directive (policy) (EMC® NetWorker® Release 8.2 VMware Integration Guide, P/N 302-000-701, REV 01). Avamar provides protection to new VM’s added to a vCenter all other discovery is manual. There is no capability to identify new VM’s by affinity or filter VM’s from backup (EMC® Avamar® 7.2 for VMware, User Guide, P/N 302-001-811, REV 01) 3. DEDUPLICATION RESILIENCY WITH PARALLEL DEDUPLICATION Inexpensively delivers software load balancing and resiliency to complement hardware availability. • EMC deduplication is provided by Data Domain deduplication appliances. The Data Domain controller can be a single point of failure in an environment. The DD4200/4500/7200 and DD990 can have an additional controller to provide resiliency, at a significant cost. EMC can provide deduplicated replication but only between like Avamar or Data Domain systems with significant additional cost. • For NetBackup 7.7 appliances, the maximum deduplication capacity is 229TBs or the maximum capacity of the appliance. (Symantec NetBackup™ Deduplication Guide, UNIX, Windows, Linux Release 7.7). However, deduplication within each appliance is supported, but deduplication across appliances is not supported. 4. SINGLE PASS BACKUP, FILE ARCHIVING AND REPORTING Save time, money and resources with Simpana OnePass™. • EMC backup and archiving processes are delivered through separate products (Avamar & Data Domain and SourceOne). Each performs a separate pass of the data. EMC Networker can archive file system data as a data set directly, but this also requires a separate pass. • Symantec backup and archiving processes are delivered through separate products (NetBackup and Enterprise Vault). Each performs a separate pass of the data. NBU can archive file system data as a data set directly, but this also requires a separate pass. 5. ENDPOINT BACKUP Reduce workload with auto-discover/auto-install of backup agents, and end-user access capability. • EMC recommends when deploying Avamar Desktop/Laptop to a location with existing Avamar servers, use an additional Avamar grid to support the desktop and laptop clients. (EMC® Avamar® 7.2, Administration Guide, P/N 302-001-813, REV 01, pg.317). Avamar does not provide mobile access. EMC also offers EMC Mozy for desktop/laptop protection. • Symantec provides the Symantec Desktop/Laptop Option™. This is a separate product from NetBackup which has a unique server, database and administration console. (Symantec Desktop and Laptop Option™ version 8.0, Administrator’s Guide, For Windows) 6. ENCRYPTION Protect data At-Rest and In-Flight. 7. EXTENDED MODE Retain data for long periods for compliance and governance. • Symantec appliance does not provide for lower cost extended mode storage drawers. 8. VM LIFECYCLE MANAGEMENT Manage the complete VM lifecycle from provisioning and monitoring to backup and replication to VM archiving and retirement. • EMC supports Virtual Server protection through Avamar, but Avamar only provides for some extended restore capabilities such as VM power-on, datastore browsing, but not VM-renaming. There is no capability to identify new VM’s by affinity or filter VM’s from backup. EMC cannot provide VM archiving capabilities. (EMC® Avamar® 7.2 for VMware, User Guide, P/N 302-001-811, REV 01) • Symantec supports Virtual server protection but Symantec lacks vCD integration and Symantec cannot provide VM archiving through NBU or Enterprise Vault. (Symantec NetBackup™ for VMware Administrator’s Guide, Release 7.6) 9. HETEROGENEOUS HARDWARE ARRAY SNAPSHOT MANAGEMENT Improve RTO/RPO and offload backup processing from production hosts. • EMC Avamar and Data Domain appliances do not support hardware array snapshot management. EMC provides persistent Snapshot integration in NetWorker with the addition of EMC Snapshot Manager or EMC Replication Manager options. Snapshot Manager and Replication Manager are limited to EMC and NetApp FAS storage hardware. (EMC NetWorker Software Compatibility Guide, June 3, 2014). Replication Manager has GUI integration with NetWorker but requires a separate infrastructure and database. (EMC Replication Manager Version 5.5.1, Administrator’s Guide. P/N 302-000-664, REV 01) • Symantec Replication Director is limited to NetApp arrays and EMC VNX and Celerra arrays only. The VNX NAS RD plug-in supports only the Snapshot operation and the Backup from Snapshot child operation in storage lifecycle policies (SLP). (Symantec NetBackup™ Replication Director Solutions Guide Release 7.7, pg. 162). 10. EMAIL ARCHIVING Perform email archiving with stubs for end-user recovery. • EMC can provide email archiving through a separate product. EMC SourceOne is a separate product from Avamar or Data Domain with no integration. (EMC SourceOne Email Management Version 6.8 Installation Guide, 300-013-684, REV A01) • Symantec NetBackup provides integrated archiving for file-systems, but requires Symantec Enterprise Vault for eMail and SharePoint archiving. (Symantec NetBackup™ Administrator’s Guide, Volume I, Windows, Release 7.7) 11. SEARCH AND EDISCOVERY Obtain total visibility of data across archive and backup. • EMC provides EMC SourceOne Discovery Manager for e-Discovery on archive data only. This is a separate product which is OEM’d from Stored IQ. • Symantec has to leverage Enterprise Vault or ClearWell for eDiscovery. Symantec Enterprise Vault Discovery Accelerator collects information resident in archived data, but Symantec requires a separate product, Clearwell Identification & Collection Module for collection of information from other sources in the environment. (Symantec Discovery Accelerator™ Installation Guide 10.0) (Symantec Enterprise Vault™ 11.0 Documentation http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=DOC6634) 12. ENDPOINT DATA PROTECTION Mitigate risk with data loss prevention and compliance/eDiscovery; drive productivity with secure file sharing. • EMC recommends when deploying Avamar Desktop/Laptop to a location with existing Avamar servers, use an additional Avamar grid to support the desktop and laptop clients. ((EMC® Avamar® 7.2, Operational Best Practices, P/N 302-001-931, REV 01, p. 68). Avamar does not provide mobile access. EMC also offers EMC Mozy for desktop/laptop protection which is a separate product with separate management and infrastructure. EMC Mozy can provide file sync capabilities with Mozy Sync. http://mozy.com/product/solutions/file-sync • Symantec provides the Symantec Desktop/Laptop Option™. This is a separate product from NetBackup which has a unique server, database and administration console. It provides endpoint backup for Windows and Mac endpoints and does not include advanced features like DLP or file share (Symantec Desktop and Laptop Option™ version 8.0, Administrator’s Guide, For Windows)

13. ADVANCED REPORTING Provide a global view to inform and drive decisions in capacity management and planning, SLAs and operations. • EMC provides Data Protection Advisor for advanced reporting, a separate product with a standalone infrastructure (EMC® Data Protection Advisor, Version 6.2 SP1, Report Reference Guide, 302-001-677, REV 02). • Symantec provides OpsCenter for basic operational reporting. You can expand the operational reporting and provide basic file level reporting for Enterprise Vault by adding OpsCenter Analytics, a separate product. (Symantec OpsCenter Administrator’s Guide, Windows and UNIX, Release 7.7)
