CommVault announces commitment to partners to further cloud adoption

CommVault is committed to its partner community to address the trend of cloud adoption. The company has announced that its Simpana 10 software platform is now the data protection platform of choice for more than 200 certified service providers, over 20% of whom are currently located in the Asia Pacific region. 

“The dynamics of our industry are shifting at light speed as organisations accelerate usage of cloud services. CommVault provides our customers and partners with the capabilities needed for protection of data to the cloud, in the cloud and cloud-to-cloud,” said N. Robert Hammer, Chairman, President and CEO, CommVault. 

“Simpana software provides customers with a unique single platform view into data across the heterogeneous enterprise. The scalability, security, automation and reporting features in Simpana 10 are second to none for powering the most efficient cloud infrastructures.”

CommVault has partnered with a broad ecosystem of service provider partners so they can effectively deliver data management-as-a-service solutions based on Simpana software across geographies, vertical industries and offerings. The company is focused on simplifying the transition of service providers and their customers to cloud computing with a three-pronged strategy: 

Powering the most efficient cloud infrastructures – Through a single software platform approach, CommVault partners are able to run the same workloads using 50% percent less infrastructure than a leading alternative, greatly improve staff productivity, and accelerate time-to-revenue for new offerings. 

CommVault allows service provider partners to support a full portfolio of cloud data services – across backup, archive, disaster recovery, and search – with a single software platform and leveraging shared infrastructure. Service providers can provide unique and superior client experiences through API integrations.

Expanding market reach through broad cloud ecosystem – CommVault’s cloud capabilities stretch from private to public and hybrid cloud infrastructures, from data centers to devices at the edge. Providers which have integrated Simpana software into their cloud solution portfolios include Microsoft Windows Azure, Amazon S3 and Glacier, NetApp, Rackspace. 

  

Investing in cloud solutions group – CommVault extends its partner competencies through cloud domain expertise and collaborative engagement models to define, develop, and deliver new cloud-based solutions.

  “In developing our cloud solution approach we took into account not just the technology needs of our service provider partners, but also their business needs, aligning both to better serve their existing and prospective customers,” said Gerry Sillars, VP, Cloud Solutions Group at CommVault. “This allows CommVault to reach new markets and fits within a broader strategy of partnering with key providers globally.”

CommVault is also engaged with a majority of the major telcos and ISPs across Asia Pacific, underlining expectations for significant partner growth in the region.
