Commvault
announced two additions to its family of cloud-ready
appliances - the Commvault HyperScale Appliance (model HS3300), an
innovative scale-out infrastructure for managed service providers (MSPs)
and large enterprises, and the Commvault Remote Office Appliance, a
turnkey appliance that enables enterprises to extend Commvault Complete
Backup & Recovery solutions to smaller remote offices. The
announcement was made today in Nashville at
Commvault GO 2018, the company's annual customer conference.
The new appliances build on the current success of the Commvault
HyperScale Appliance (model HS1300) by expanding its offerings with both
smaller and larger capacity appliances to provide customers more
flexibility and choice. The new larger capacity appliance provides
integrated scale-out data protection with Commvault HyperScale
Technology together with Commvault Complete Backup & Recovery, the
industry's most comprehensive solution for protecting, managing and
using data. The new smaller capacity appliance delivers an integrated
remote office solution to simplify remote office management as a part of
a centralized hybrid IT strategy built from the larger Commvault
HyperScale Appliances. These new additions extend Commvault's leadership
in driving simplification, risk reduction and greater data management
efficiency from the data center and the cloud, and out to remote offices
and endpoints.
"Protecting and managing data while simplifying hybrid IT
environments consisting of dozens of applications, multiple clouds and
petabytes of data, is a significant business and data challenge
enterprises are facing today," said Christophe Bertrand, senior analyst,
Enterprise Strategy Group. "With these two new appliances, Commvault is
expanding their appliance portfolio choices and investing in solutions
designed to meet these specific challenges, in order to extend its
ability to provide enterprises with complete coverage for their data
needs, and use data to improve business outcomes."
A Higher Capacity Commvault HyperScale Appliance
The new Commvault HyperScale Appliance (model HS3300) offers
enterprises between 174 to 262 terabytes (TB) of usable capacity in a
fully-converged appliance that tightly integrates server, storage and
Commvault Complete Backup and Recovery. The new appliance's scale-out
infrastructure delivers the same "cloud-like" scale, flexibility, and
cost benefits of the currently available Commvault HyperScale Appliance
for the mid-market (model HS1300), while addressing MSPs' and
enterprises' larger workloads.
The new Commvault HyperScale Appliance for the enterprise market
provides greater flexibility and choice to enterprises, making it easier
for them to deploy converged data management solutions that meets their
specific data protection, recovery, governance and service delivery
needs.
"There has been extraordinary interest from customers and partners
for the Commvault HyperScale Appliance with Commvault Complete Backup
& Recovery for increased simplicity, productivity and efficiency,
while also reducing time and effort spent on hardware acquisition,
installation and integration, and daily management," said N. Robert
Hammer, chairman, president and CEO of Commvault. "With our expanded
appliance portfolio, we are able extend our flexible data protection and
management consumption model to new use cases and customers -- further
empowering enterprises to cut costs, reduce operational complexity and
use their data to improve business outcomes."
The New Commvault Remote Office Appliance
For customers looking for an easy to acquire, implement, install and
maintain backup and recovery solution for their remote and branch
offices, Commvault today also introduced the Commvault Remote Office Appliance.
A turnkey appliance, the solution enables enterprises to extend
Commvault Complete Backup & Recovery to their remote and branch
offices, giving them a consolidated single solution without the
complexity and added costs of local IT expertise to setup and operate.
With 5 or 15 TB of usable capacity, the Commvault Remote Office
Appliance allows enterprises to protect data locally and copy data to
the cloud or data center, while managing it centrally, simplifying
administration, streamlining processes, and improving data backup and
recovery performance. Providing a way to bring remote data under
consistent corporate policy management is a high priority for
businesses.
Commvault's Appliance Portfolio Packs a Punch With Bundled Technology Features
Commvault's cloud-ready appliances have a distinct advantage over
competitive offerings. The cloud-ready nature of the Commvault appliance
portfolio provides on-premises scaling similar to cloud environments,
while leveraging Commvault's native integration to storing, managing,
automating and orchestrating workloads to, between, and in the cloud.
Commvault's appliance portfolio provides a combined hardware/software
vehicle through which customers can realize the elasticity benefits of
cloud environments and deliver similar benefits in modern, on premises
infrastructure. This forms a foundation for an unparalleled, proven
solution that combines artificial intelligence and machine learning;
cloud orchestration and automation together with a data platform that
allows customers to truly know all of their data. This distinguishes
Commvault appliance offerings from any of the niche, start-up and legacy
players in the data protection market.
In addition to these benefits, the Commvault appliance portfolio
provides a number of differentiated features, pricing and licensing
options that make its new appliances modern, flexible and attractive
offerings for customers. Commvault is delivering enterprises converged
data management solutions that provide a truly "complete" backup and
recovery solution. In addition, the new appliances give partners
flexible new options to expand their relationship with Commvault and
grow their business.
"Commvault's Hyperscale Technology offering has enabled our customers
to strategically decouple their data strategy from their infrastructure
to better support cost, business efficiency and compliance
requirements," said Damon Robertson, CEO, COOLSPIRiT. "The new appliance
options now available means it is much easier to position more
differentiated, requirement specific, benefits across a wide range of
customers while expanding the strategic value and relevance of our
offerings to them."
"These two new appliances build on the success that Commvault has
achieved with the introduction of its HyperScale Technology and
enhancements to its partner program," said Cheryl Neal, Vice President
Data and Networking Solutions, Tech Data. "This type of continued
innovation helps us provide even more value when delivering Commvault
data solutions to our customers."
Building on Commvault's Recently Announced Portfolio
Commvault's recently simplified product portfolio
(Commvault Complete Backup & Recovery, Commvault
HyperScale Technology, Commvault OrchestrateTM, and Commvault ActivateTM)
brings together comprehensive backup and recovery and data management,
including storage infrastructure, service delivery orchestration and
data governance. The portfolio also features straightforward pricing and
licensing, making it easier for enterprises to implement comprehensive
data management strategies for Hybrid IT environments than ever before.
All of the products in the portfolio incorporate innovative artificial
intelligence technologies that automatically learn and adapt to an
enterprise's data management behavior, helping streamline IT operations
while gaining more value from their data.
The new simple product portfolio upends the "status quo" of the
backup and recovery market, which in the past has required customers to
acquire many point solutions, inclusive of new emerging backup vendors.
In addition, it addresses one of the key hybrid IT challenges faced by
today's global digital enterprises - how to protect and manage data in
ways that meet the needs of the business across locations,
infrastructures, data types, and at scale. Many point products are tied
to legacy infrastructure, creating silos of data that limit enterprises'
agility, lower productivity, and increase risk.
