Commvault Unveils Next Gen Portfolio Including an Open Data Platform

Commvault announced the next generation of its market leading solutions portfolio, delivering a broad spectrum of innovation designed to help customers address the increasing challenges of managing data and information in highly disrupted, fast-paced global business environments. 

Commvault's new offerings fundamentally redefine the data protection, archive and cloud data markets where everything is application aware, authentication and encryption data security is essential, backup windows are significantly reduced, instant recovery is the standard, data is accessible natively from all live and versioned locations, disaster recovery is automated, and resources are optimized and orchestrated (storage, compute, and network). The new product innovations in the latest solutions release enable Commvault to be best positioned as the market leader to help customers of all sizes transition from traditional to modern hyper and converged infrastructures, consume new technologies, and fully explore true exploitation of the cloud for critical business workloads.

Commvault's powerful combination of fully-integrated software applications, the Commvault Data Platform, and professional services provides enterprises with unprecedented levels of openness, offering customers flexibility of choice in infrastructure, platform, compute and storage providers.  Customers now have 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 IT operations.  These opportunities will enable the strategic deployment of resources for innovation, creativity and to increase business value. 

Commvault's new solutions portfolio includes a broad range of innovations (link to list below), all designed to drive additional business insight and value for customers that redefine the market in these key areas: 
An open, standards-based approach: Runs natively in traditional on premise, hyper and converged environments, and across hybrid, private and public clouds, for protection, retention, access and compliance
Enabling disruption: Single, unified data management approach takes the risk out of adopting new technology, and helps companies deal with the uncertainties arising from marketplace disruption
The end of lock-in: Traditional data software format lock-in is eliminated and sets the new standard in hardware and infrastructure options for customers
Move to the cloud: Provides the bridge from legacy to transitional hybrid to true exploitation of the public cloud; simplifies native moves to and from the cloud to enable DR; and fully migrate business critical workloads (compliance, data governance and backup) into the cloud; assures data security to, from, and in the cloud through advanced authentication and encryption protocols
Redefines archive: Transform inaccessible digital landfills into directly accessible active data sets through familiar user experiences (file explorer, Outlook, mobile, etc.)
Hardware array & converged and hyper-converged infrastructure ready: Leading the industry in snaps and replication management across HW arrays and infrastructures provides flexibility and choice
Governance throughout the data lifecycle: Apply active governance from when data is created based on content and context, rather than applying methodologies only  after the data is created
End-to-end data security built in:  security is fully integrated for data in all locations, with management, audit and compliance monitoring & reporting throughout,
Shift and reduce traditional IT spend through smarter IT: Speeds time to value, consolidates point solutions, shift resources from low to high value through faster business process execution and increased automation
Total Search: Search across all data (live and versioned), in all locations, across structured and unstructured data
New Commvault innovations will permit customers to more easily consume new technology to evolve from traditional environments, close functionality gaps, eliminate the headaches of point solution integration, and address a range of emerging data needs (link to other release) from targeted requirements up to full, web-scale projects. In addition, new Commvault solutions can help shield customers from market consolidation disruption concerns while simultaneously assuring data protection, security, and compliance.  Together, integrated software applications and the new Commvault Data Platform represent the eleventh major version of Commvault solutions.

"Commvault's next generation software and platform are uniquely designed to help customers activate their data to unlock critical business insight and drive new value from their technology investments," said Mr N Robert Hammer, Chairman, President and CEO of Commvault.  "The new Commvault release both leapfrogs point solution vendors in capabilities and functionality while also showcasing the performance, security, compliance, and economic benefits of a holistic data management strategy. For customers, our new platform makes it possible to better manage the challenges of disruption, whether they are seeking to move to data to the cloud, manage data in the cloud, provide secure access to data, consume new technology to replace legacy systems, move from closed proprietary systems to open, or assure a sound data management strategy in the midst of unprecedented market change and consolidation. Now, more than ever, companies are increasingly recognizing the need for a trusted partner to assure a solid data management foundation - Commvault is that foundation."
