ommvault, a global leader in
enterprise backup, recovery,
archive and the cloud, has
launched Commvault HyperScaleTM
Appliance and Commvault
HyperScaleTM Software, two powerful,
cloud-ready data infrastructure offerings
that provide customers with on-premises
simplicity, elasticity, resilience, flexibility
and scale for managing secondary data.
Flexible to fit a range of customer
needs, the solutions are available
as an all-in-one appliance or a
reference architecture model enabling
organisations to choose their hardware
provider to meet specific requirements
as they scale for the future.
Commvault’s HyperScale Software
solutions bring scale-out infrastructure
to the Commvault Data Platform and
seamlessly integrate with storage
arrays, hypervisors, applications
and the range of cloud provider
solutions to support the most
dynamic environments. Customers
can consume Commvault HyperScale
Software solutions in one of two ways:
Commvault HyperScale Appliance and
Commvault HyperScale Software.
In support of true hybrid IT
environments, Commvault HyperScale
Software is uniquely positioned to

protect and securely move workloads
across any type of infrastructure
including public cloud, private cloud and
on-premises. The Commvault HyperScale
technology leverages a built-in operating
environment, virtualisation, and storage
technologies from Red Hat to provide a
robust, enterprise-grade foundation.
“Building upon our impeccable track
record of innovation in data protection,
we are excited to introduce this unique
and highly-differentiated infrastructure
offering to the market to replace
outdated scale-up architectures and
point products that have proved to be
inefficient and long overdue for change,”
said N. Robert Hammer, chairman,
president and CEO of Commvault.
“Commvault HyperScale Appliance and
Commvault HyperScale Software are
infrastructure options that provide flexible
models for consumption while helping
customers replace costly legacy hardware,
avoid vendor lock in, and gain modern
agility, flexibility and cloud-economics
that were previously unavailable.”
Scale-Out: Modernising
Data Architectures
The launch of Commvault HyperScale
Appliance and Commvault HyperScale
Software addresses the ongoing
shift enterprises are making towards
secondary storage as a means to
drive business and IT transformation
initiatives. Commvault believes
approximately 70% of customer data
is consumed as a secondary copy, and
therefore, these HyperScale solutions
are able to meet the increasing
demands of the secondary storage
market by delivering customers a
unified, modern data protection and
management platform that delivers
cloud-like services on-premises.
The demands of secondary storage
and the need to find value from
secondary copy data is driving
customers to find alternatives to
store and manage ever increasing
data workloads and move away from
traditional ‘scale up’ purpose built
appliances. Commvault is positioned
to offer customers true enterprise-scale
coverage with an integrated modern
scale-out approach to meet these
demands while adding market-leading
data management software fully
integrated into the strategy.
“Yesterday’s architectures for enterprise
data protection are simply inadequate
for the kinds of agility and efficiency
that modern organisations of all sizes
are demanding,” said Jason Buffington,
principal data protection analyst, ESG.
