BoostFS (Boost File System) is a specialized Dell EMC technology that integrates with backup applications to enable optimized data transfers to Dell EMC Data Domain systems. BoostFS works effectively with Dell's Avamar backup software, leveraging the Data Domain Boost technology to provide deduplication and improve backup efficiency. The BoostFS integration enables Avamar to utilize features like client-side deduplication, reducing data that needs to be transferred and stored on Data Domain systems, and enhancing performance and storage efficiency.
By using BoostFS with Dell Avamar, users benefit from enhanced backup speeds, optimized network bandwidth, and reduced load on the Data Domain system. The BoostFS integration also supports streamlined management and more effective use of storage resources, which aligns well with Dell EMC' s strategy for comprehensive data protection.
