Curtis,

We, a IDATA, were briefed about this some time ago. Basically it is Avamar
being scheduled by NetWorker, so it is in the first steps of integration.
E.g., the avamar client is installed and you need an avamar storage node,
but you can configure it all through NetWorker.

So think of it more as a single management interface rather than full
integration. However, we were told that you could do part of a node with
Networker and part with Avamar. This would make sense considering NW's
extensive ability to manage application backups.

Also, of interest in that was the integration with Recoverpoint. Seems they
must have done a PowerSnap module for it.
