Commvault and NetApp expand
critical data protection and recovery
for hybrid cloud environments
Commvault has announced the launch of
NetApp Scale-out Data Protection (SDP) to
offer expanded recovery support for critical
data across NetApp’s hybrid-enabled
storage systems.
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.” •
