Commvault said it had completely simplified its product set to bring together comprehensive backup and recovery and data management, including storage infrastructure, service delivery orchestration and data governance. Updated with innovations that incorporate artificial intelligence behaviours that automatically learn and adapt to help make IT operations simple and streamlined, the new packaging portfolio is better suited than ever to meet the rapidly evolving business needs of todays’ digital organizations, helping to make managing backup simple. Commvault said its products are now easier to buy, install and manage than ever before, helping customers to achieve more efficient IT operations and gain more value from their data. Their newly-packaged product set combines new innovations and capabilities, while consolidating more than 20+ offerings into four powerful products:

• Commvault Complete Backup & Recovery – Redefining backup and recovery for a progressive enterprise with one solution. Commvault said it believes its new offering, Commvault Complete Backup & Recovery, is easily the industry’s most fully featured and comprehensive backup and recovery solution. Designed to meet the needs of any size business, it covers workloads across all locations: hybrid environments include on-premises and multiple cloud providers; physical servers; virtual machines; applications and databases; endpoint devices; and more. Commvault Complete is aptly named as it also includes disaster recovery capabilities, snapshot management, endpoint user protection, mailbox protection for on-premises, and SaaS offerings, replication, disaster recovery, reporting and integrated archiving.

• Commvault HyperScale Technology – Commvault HyperScale Technology is an add-on for Commvault Complete that delivers an on-premises, cloud-like infrastructure to support scale-out secondary storage. This is available in two form factors: 1) a Commvault-branded integrated appliance, or 2) as a software solution that can be used with a customer’s preferred hardware provider.

• Commvault Orchestrate – Automated service delivery technology that enables users to provision, sync and validate data in any environment for important IT needs such as disaster recovery (DR) testing, Dev/Test operations and workload migrations. Commvault Orchestrate allows customers to extend the value of their data sitting in secondary storage. Secondary copies of data can now be used for activities like accelerating dev/test routines or performing application migrations. Operations that were previously manual can now be orchestrated and automated, saving customers valuable time and money.

• Commvault Activate – Discover and extract new business insights from data under management to better meet governance requirements like GDPR and deliver data to the business for analysis. Commvault Activate lets you comply with privacy regulations by detecting and taking action on data risks, use data insights to drive file efficiencies and accountability and gives an enterprise the tools to reveal and extend the value of data across the enterprise.

“Commvault’s new simplified product offerings redefine what converged data management means for progressive enterprises of all sizes, with software that protects, manages and uses their critical data while reducing cost and risk,” said N. Robert Hammer, chairman, president and CEO, Commvault. “Commvault’s core offering is the recognized leading software solution – now even more powerful – for backup and recovery that is simple, scalable and complete.  Commvault has once again set the high bar in this market, with simply powerful solutions that are easy to buy, install, and get value from.  That’s the ‘Commvault Advantage,’ and something our competitors cannot deliver:  helping customers avoid the pitfalls of point products that silo data, and are more expensive to manage and hinder companies from innovating and adapting to business change and increased data regulatory environments.”
