If you're looking to modernize your infrastructure with flash disk, hyperconverged storage or with a move to the cloud,
Top 5 Reasons to Upgrade Your Commvault Software The eleventh version of Commvault software delivers many innovations that make it simpler to manage, enhance flexibility, increase scalability and streamline cloud operations. New ways to capture source data make it easier to meet recovery and DR SLAs. You will find new tools to combat ransomware, and modules that help you to become and stay compliant with GDPR and the ever-shifting compliance landscape. 1 More Affordable Licensing & Maintenance We’ve been listening to our customers and we’ve changed licensing and maintenance to make Commvault software more affordable and simpler to scale. Solution Set1 packages for virtual servers in the latest version of Commvault software are based on sockets or VMs, so you’re no longer tied to agents or capacity models to expand your virtual estate. Maintenance costs for new purchases are based on net cost. 2 Simplified Management The new role based user interface (UI) provides a simpler way to manage Commvault software and appliances, all based on the user’s role, such as VM Admin or Data Base Administrator (DBA). Not only can they view and manage policies, but they also have ready access to specific reports and alerts that they need to stay on-top of their job and keep critical business systems running perfectly. 3 Industry-leading VM & Cloud Functionality Go large, without the hassle. If you’re running an ever expanding VM estate, proven2 efficiencies and automation in Commvault’s latest release will be welcome. New cloud recovery options make it even simpler to move data and workloads directly into the cloud, with no lock-in by deduplication appliances or the need for cloud gateways. Want to migrate to or run workloads directly in the cloud? Commvault software runs natively in AWS, Azure and the Oracle Cloud and offers over 40 more cloud storage integrations.
Commvault Customer Support delivers a range of world-class offerings that enable customers to reduce data management costs, mitigate business and compliance risks, and ensure consistent and reliable access to their information. 1 In a Platform License Model, VMs are clients licensed per Operating Instance Oi (Oi: any physical or virtual operating system that is/will be protected by Commvault Software. Hypervisor and Commcell are NOT considered Oi) 2 According to IDC report, “Quantifying the Business Value of Commvault Software: Worldwide Customer Survey Analysis” Phil Goodwin, Randy Perry January 2016 US40773815
4 More Recovery Points – More Recovery & DR Options Commvault’s block capture technology reduces the impact of backup on production systems, and still delivers an almost unlimited number of recovery points. The ‘Live’ tools in eleventh version of Commvault software let you start VMs in your virtual repository while they are being recovered, to shorten SLAs, and LiveSync will keep cloud copies of your VMs constantly ready for Cloud Disaster Recovery or development use cases. 5 Modernize Faster If you’re looking to modernize your infrastructure with flash disk, hyperconverged storage or with a move to the cloud, the latest release of Commvault software and appliances will help accelerate transformation. Array integration has been expanded even further, and now supports AWS EC2 snapshots, with additional tools to help you better manage Amazon storage costs. Hyperconverged infrastructure support is also available for Nutanix Acropolis (AHV).
