ujitsu today brings the benefits of
the cloud – in terms of service, agility,
resilience, scale and cost – to on-
premises backup storage through its new
Fujitsu Reference Architecture for Commvault
HyperScale Software, a new data protection
solution based on pre-tested configurations
and built with Commvault HyperScale
Software and Fujitsu Server PRIMERGY
industry-standard server systems.
The new reference architecture is the third
data protection solution developed by
Fujitsu in collaboration with leading storage
and data protection software provider
Commvault. It simplifies the transformation
into private cloud storage, with complete
data portability for seamless integration
between the public cloud and on-premises
environments. It brings cloud agility,
economics and service levels to on-premises
data protection and recovery, enabling
organisations to build a unified, modern
data protection and management platform
on a scale-out infrastructure. and shrinking the footprint of on-premises
hardware, as well as providing that all-
important holistic, big-picture view of their
data, wherever it’s stored.”
Olivier Delachapelle, Head of Category
Management Data Center at Fujitsu in
EMEIA, said: “Protecting data against loss
has become number one priority in a digital
world. However, traditional heterogeneous
point solutions for backup and archiving
may have slowed down business process
transformation due to limited flexibility and
hardware choice. We are changing that
with our new Fujitsu Reference Architecture
for Commvault HyperScale Software. This
replaces legacy data protection architectures
with a software-defined solution, based on
economical, general purpose, server-based
storage. The new architecture boosts agility
by consolidating and eliminating data silos The Fujitsu Reference Architecture for
Commvault HyperScale Software is
designed for organisations that require
greater capacity or performance needs
than available from an appliance-based
approach. Fujitsu uses pre-validated
configurations that provide hardware
sizes and models for Commvault
Hyperscale Software on a unique scale-out
infrastructure. This simplified approach
reduces both the integration time and risk
associated with multiple point solutions,
while injecting scalability with predictable
economics and performance. Customers
gain a fully-tested, easy-to-set-up data
protection solution for backing up and
archiving data in physical, virtual or cloud-
based data centres.
“We welcome Fujitsu to the reference
architecture programme for Commvault
HyperScale Software,” said Jonathan
Howard, Director, Technical Alliances,
Commvault. “Today’s enterprise customers
want the agility and economics of the cloud
on-premises, so scale-out data protection
software with Commvault HyperScale is
highly attractive. Fujitsu’s experience in the
enterprise and the pairing of its world-
class hardware portfolio with Commvault
data protection, provides customers with
pre-validated solutions to help them gain a
fresh approach to data protection and on-
premises infrastructures.”
The new reference architecture
complements Fujitsu’s wider portfolio of
data protection appliance solutions, such as
the ETERNUS CS200c and the Commvault
HyperScale Appliance. n
