Disaster Recovery Solutions IT’S TIME FOR A BETTER PLAN Cost-effective and reliable disaster recovery (DR) is a challenge for all organizations. It seems as if effective solutions are too expensive or too complicated, while many costeffective solutions lack key capabilities. As a result, companies often rely on a mix of point solutions that are challenging to manage and make it difficult to test DR to ensure that it works when it’s needed. Commvault addresses the needs of small, medium and large enterprises with an affordable, reliable and simple software solution that helps you to become:
STATE-OF-THE-ART
UNIFIED
SIMPLE
Protect, manage and access your critical data across any storage tier with a cloud-enabled, virtualization-aware, applicationcentric and deduplicated solution that eliminates risk and minimizes impact on production systems.
Replace multiple point products with a single solution for backup and DR across physical and virtual servers, disk, tape and private/ public/hybrid clouds, reducing your licensing and operational costs.
Eliminate manual steps and increase reliability with policybased and automated DR, which can reduce: • Search time for recovery by up to 60% • Backup administration time by as much as 50% • Offsite copy time by up to 45% • Annual unplanned downtime by as much as 54%1
Commvault solves the DR challenges of small and mid-sized companies and large enterprises.

PROOF POINTS DISASTER RECOVERY PROTECTION 1 REDUCED COMPLEXITY Integrated backup, recovery and DR in a single, software-based solution • EMC supports only BMR for Windows servers. BMR for Linux or Unix systems requires a 3rd-party product (NetWorker Module for Microsoft for Windows Bare Metal Recovery Solution Release 8.2 SP1 User Guide) • IBM requires multiple products for restoring systems. IBM provides Tivoli® Storage Manager FastBack for Bare Metal Recovery for Windows and Linux recovery and Tivoli Storage Manager for System Backup and Recovery for DR protection for AIX servers. (http://www-142.ibm.com/software/products/us/en/ storagemanagerfastbackforbaremachinerecovery/ and http://www-142.ibm.com/software/products/us/ en/tivostormanaforsystbackandreco). Both products have integration with TSM, which can manage and use the TSM repository for storage 2 POINT IN TIME RESTORE Restore the system state of a client, backed up on a specific date and time • EMC® Bare Metal Recovery does not provide the capability to restore a client to a specific point in time. (EMC® NetWorker, Release 8.2 SP1, Administration Guide, P/N 302-001-567, REV 03, pg. 590-627) • IBM provides Tivoli Storage Manager FastBack for Bare Metal Recovery for Windows and Linux for Point in Time recovery. (Tivoli Storage Manager FastBack for Bare Machine Recovery, Version 6.1.7, User’s Guide). Tivoli Storage Manager for System Backup and Recovery cannot provide for Point in Time recovery. (Tivoli IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for System Backup and Recovery (SysBack), Installation and User’s Guide Version 6.1) 3 CROSS HARDWARE RESTORE Restore systems to completely different hardware configurations, including different network interface adapters, mass storage devices, video adapters, motherboards and CPUs
• EMC BMR can provide cross hardware restore but requires that the OS target storage be exactly the same size or larger (down to the byte) and similar CPU types. (EMC® NetWorker, Release 8.2 SP1, Administration Guide, P/N 302-001-567, REV 03, pg. 590-627) • IBM requires multiple products for restoring systems.
