Commvault FutureReady: Commvault Accelerates Cloud Adoption With Intelligent Data Management Portfolio

At Commvault FutureReady, Commvault Systems, Inc. announced a portfolio of products and services to intelligently manage data.

HyperScale X appliances

In addition, the company also announced a flexible subscription pricing, optimizing value and making it easier for customers to simplify data management in hybrid cloud.

• HyperScale X
  The next gen of HyperScale is a scale-out integrated solution that delivers simple, flexible data protection for all workloads (including containers, virtual, and databases), optimized scalability, and built-in ransomware protection. The first Hedvig integration with the company’s portfolio, HyperScale X enables customers to simplify and accelerate hybrid cloud adoption.

• Backup & Recovery
  The standalone backup & recovery product ensures data availability for all workloads – including containers, cloud-native, and virtual – across cloud and on-premises environments, delivering simple, reliable, data protection through a single extensible platform.

• Commvault DR
  As a DR product, it enables customers to ensure BC and verify recoverability across cloud and on-prem environments, delivering simple, automated DR orchestration, flexible replication, and verified recovery readiness.

• Data Protection
  The combination of Backup & Recovery and Commvault DR brings the company’s functionality into a single data protection solution to ensure data availability and BC for all workloads across cloud and on-prem environments.

“With an already-robust Commvault deployment in place, we’re now leveraging Commvault’s cloud capabilities to shed ownership of our technology infrastructure-instead, we’re investing heavily in the cloud to keep our IT operations running. The software solution from Commvault fills gaps in native cloud tools, and has cut across every use case McDonald’s Cloud Services team has, providing optimized and effective backups across databases. Commvault’s solution tunes performance across AWS and Microsoft Azure cloud servers and drives cost savings through deduplication and compression. McDonald’s realizes value from a trusted, innovative team with Commvault,” said Douglas Leonard, director, cloud services, McDonald’s Corporation.

Additional enhancements include data insights and governance solutions, rich Kubernetes support in the Hedvig Distributed Storage Platform, and broader availability of Commvault’s subscription-based licensing model.

Data governance, e-discovery and compliance, and file storage optimization
These solutions, previously bundled together as the company’s Activate, give customers visibility into their data, identify opportunities for storage efficiencies and manage risk. Leveraging the firm’s simplified pricing model, organizations can now purchase these solutions in alignment with how they consume other company’s offerings.

Enhanced container support for Hedvig distributed storage platform
Its native API Kubernetes enhancements in the Hedvig Distributed Storage platform provides customers the flexibility to develop and run modern applications in any Kubernetes environment with the ability to protect, migrate, recover, and use their data.

Optimized subscription pricing
As customers are increasingly looking to shift toward OPEX-based and cloud-like pricing, they require the flexibility and efficiency that a subscription pricing model enables. The company has led this transition, with more than 40% of its software and product revenue coming from subscription licensing. This announcement enables the company’s products and ecosystems to lead with subscription pricing models, enabling simplified choice for customers. The firm will continue to support customer requirements for a perpetual pricing model.

“We’re rapidly innovating to exceed customer needs in this era of constant change. The updated Commvault portfolio helps customers effectively manage change across their hybrid IT environments,” said Rajiv Kottomtharayil, chief product officer,. “Customers need to be increasingly agile, flexible, and scalable. This new portfolio addresses data management risks that exist today and that may exist tomorrow, intelligently. From a natural disaster, to human error, to ransomware, our customers are covered.“
