Commvault and NetApp expand critical
data protection and recovery for hybrid
cloud environments
/////////////////////////////
Commvault, a recognised global
enterprise software leader in
the management of data across
cloud and on-premises environments, has
announced the launch of NetApp Scale-out
Data Protection (SDP), to offer expanded
rapid recovery support for critical data across
NetApp’s hybrid-enabled storage systems.
NetApp SDP takes advantage of the NetApp
portfolio and is powered by Commvault
Complete Backup and Recovery software to
provide snapshot management, backup and
disaster recovery functionality.
Businesses today are highly data-driven
so losing access to this critical asset due
to an outage or modern threat such as
ransomware can be catastrophic. While
cloud-based technologies have made data
more available, losing a critical system still
risks financial and reputational impact.
Companies must have the ability to quickly
and reliably recover valuable business data.
Through NetApp SDP, Commvault and
NetApp are combining NetApp HCI,
All-Flash-FAS, and StorageGRID with
Commvault software to deliver the
complete package, with quick and effective
deployment, easy scale and on-prem object
storage to efficiently protect critical cloud
applications. Utilising Commvault’s vast
support for array and cloud snapshots
and a full set of application and VM APIs,
Commvault and NetApp have simplified the
protection of hybrid cloud environments by
delivering extremely fast and reliable RPO/
RTO while incorporating long-term retention
in an integrated cloud tier.
“When downtime occurs, access and
recoverability of critical data, specifically in
a cloud environment, critically impacts an
organisation’s ability to maintain business
operations and meet SLAs,” said Ranga
Rajagopalan, Vice President of Product
Management, Commvault. “We’re proud
to partner with NetApp’s entire storage
portfolio to deliver a solution that meets
today’s expectation for performance,
simplicity, scale and cost, integrating both
on-prem and public cloud deployments.”
“Commvault and NetApp’s longstanding
partnership offers customers the reliability
and simplicity of an engineered backup and
recovery solution leveraging the strength of
the NetApp portfolio,” said Brett Roscoe, Vice
President, Product Management, NetApp.
“The launch of SDP provides our joint
customers with a simple, turnkey solution
that uses NetApp HCI to enhance the
scalability and robustness of the Commvault
software in protecting their most critical data
across hybrid cloud environments.” •
