In large, modern data centers, integrating multiple products—whether from the same vendor or multiple vendors—to form a stable, consistent workflow is a major challenge. In their award-winning Knowledge Sharing article, Mohamed Sohail and Shareef Bassiouny offer some best practices for integrating NetWorker and different EMC products and present some best practices for the optimum performance of this integration.

The article illustrates:
    • The different models of integration between Data Domain, VMware, and Avamar on one side, and NetWorker on the other side
          o Avamar usage as Deduplication node [Deduplicated data storage device]
          o Data Domain usage as a storage device [plain NAS and DDboost] and VTL
          o VMware VADP virtual machines backup integrated with NetWorker
          o Virtualization of NetWorker server or storage nodes

    • Advantages of integrating NetWorker with other technologies in your data center
    • Meeting integration challenges without impacting performance
    • Troubleshooting NetWorker integration issues with different products (from real customers with direct and simple solutions)
