Avamar Technologies has raised $27.0M in total across 2 funding rounds.
Avamar Technologies was an Irvine, California-based enterprise software company that developed data protection and storage solutions featuring advanced data deduplication technology. The platform enabled organizations to reduce backup bandwidth and storage requirements by identifying and eliminating redundant sub-file segments at the source, achieving data reduction ratios of up to 300:1 in real-world applications. Prior to its acquisition, the software business served approximately 400 enterprise customers across various vertical markets, including 15 of the Fortune 50 companies. The enterprise raised approximately $50 million in venture capital funding from early institutional backers including Benchmark Capital and Jump Investors. In November 2006, EMC Corporation acquired the business in a cash transaction valued at $165 million, and its core technology was later integrated into the Dell EMC Data Protection Suite. Avamar Technologies was founded in 1999 by Jedidiah Yueh.
# Avamar Technologies: Enterprise Data Protection Pioneer
Avamar Technologies is an enterprise-class data protection and backup/recovery solutions company that specializes in helping organizations safeguard their critical data across physical, virtual, and cloud environments[1][2]. The company serves mid-to-large enterprises and organizations across diverse industries by providing software and systems that enable fast, efficient data recovery while reducing storage costs through advanced deduplication technology[2][4].
The core problem Avamar solves is the complexity of modern data protection: as organizations operate across multiple environments—on-premises, cloud, and hybrid—they need unified backup and recovery solutions that are both cost-efficient and reliable. Avamar addresses this by offering flexible deployment options, multicloud support, and automation capabilities that allow organizations to protect everything from individual endpoints to large enterprise workloads[1].
Avamar Technologies was acquired by EMC Corporation (now part of Dell Technologies)[4]. The company's technology is now integrated into Dell's broader cyber resilience portfolio, marketed as part of Dell's Data Protection Suite alongside complementary products like PowerProtect Cyber Recovery and PowerProtect DD series appliances[1].
Avamar operates within the critical infrastructure of enterprise IT—the data protection and disaster recovery market. As organizations face increasing regulatory requirements, cyber threats, and the complexity of multicloud environments, solutions like Avamar's have become essential. The company's emphasis on deduplication and cloud-native capabilities positions it within the broader trend of efficient, scalable data management as enterprises modernize their IT infrastructure[1].
