Commvault releases next generation open data platform
Managing data in increasingly fast-paced business environments is a major challenge for companies. The latest release from data protection and information management specialist Commvault is seeking to address this with new levels of openness and flexibility.
The powerful combination of Commvault Software, the Commvault Data Platform and a range of professional services and support gives enterprises of all sizes the ability to open up new opportunities to reduce legacy spend, be released from vendor lock-in, find pathways to more modern environments, and drive new efficiencies and speed in their IT operations.
Major innovations include open API architecture that provides universal access to data under management in a standard captured format, ensuring no provider lock in. Customers and third party software partners cam allow their applications to write directly to the Commvault Data Platform. This allows information tasks to define data governance policies for all data right through its lifecycle. Customers can then benefit from common data management services of the platform across all data sources.
Incremental change capture for files and applications eliminates the need for backup windows. This opens opportunities to dramatically reduce workload impact during data protection operations while providing efficiencies in network and storage utilization. At the same time direct native access from the open platform to point-in-time data copies allows for instant recovery.
Enhanced total search now extends to live data sources, providing seamless and powerful search queries across multiple data solutions applications and storage locations, including the Commvault virtual repository, SaaS offerings, and cloud solutions without moving the data.
Disaster recovery technologies speed and simplify recovery planning and execution both on and off premise and in the cloud. These enhancements make DR operations easy to implement, test, validate, change and deploy regardless of the infrastructures and cloud technologies used.
"As a leading provider of integrated information technology solutions, CDW appreciates the ability to leverage Commvault's unified platform as a core data center solution that we can offer to our customers spanning all major segments and verticals," says Shea Hart, Director of Product and Partner Management, Data Center Solutions, at IT solutions provider CDW. "Given the partnered success we've experienced thus far in working with Commvault, we are extremely excited to explore the joint opportunities that the next generation of the Commvault solution platform will open for us".
