They already had a large Avamar grid environment for server backup that was tuned and scheduled for server environments. Of main importance was the fact that server backups occur at night, while desktop/laptop backups would happen during the day (when the computers are turned on). To handle the timing and maintenance requirements of desktops, as well as the thousands of clien...
