CommVault adds Simpana Solution Sets, more cloud capabilities

CommVault has added Simpana cloud management capabilities and Simpana Solution Sets designed to transform how companies of all sizes protect, manage and maximise the value of business information.

The new Simpana Solution Sets can be individually deployed or combined as part of a comprehensive data protection and information management solution. Supporting mobile productivity and improved self-service access, the Simpana Solution Sets enhance data and information management for all leading cloud, hypervisor and storage platforms. 

CommVault has added capabilities for Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure that include robust cloud reporting as well as end user self-service provisioning, recovery, software snapshots and virtual machine resource management.

"Our extensive experience providing leading data and information management capabilities helps our customers as they transition to cloud-based and managed service-based environments. We make it easier and more cost effective for businesses to achieve data management, compliance and mobile computing objectives,” said CommVault CEO Bob Hammer. 

The following new and cloud-enhanced Simpana Solution Sets are available:

Simpana for VM Backup, Recovery and Cloud Management enables virtual machine administrators and end users to build, protect and optimise virtualised and cloud infrastructure.

Simpana IntelliSnap Recovery, which unifies and streamlines application-aware hardware snapshot, replication and recovery.

Simpana for Endpoint Data Protection helps protect and enable the mobile workforce by efficiently backing-up devices and providing secure access and self-service search capabilities.

Simpana for Email Archive increases productivity, reduces compliance risk, and improves insights by integrating self-service access, simplified eDiscovery and legal hold, and cost-effective long-term retention.

More information on new features, functionality and pricing can found in the Simpana Solution Set Fact Sheet.

"Today’s data management complexities, particularly the adoption of cloud technologies, are prompting more enterprises to look for ways to quickly and easily modernise their environments. CommVault’s new, modular approach allows customers to address specific pain points, with the flexibility to upgrade to the full Simpana software suite," said Dave Simpson, Senior Analyst, Storage for The451 Group. 

"Specifically, the new snapshot recovery offering will be of interest to organisations looking to get the most value from their existing storage arrays and meet increasingly stringent SLAs, as the adoption of snapshot and replication technology accelerates to replace traditional data protection methodologies.”

Jason Buffington, Senior Data Protection Analyst at the Enterprise Strategy Group added: “CommVault has been a leader among heterogeneous data protection solutions for years, having continually evolved its platform across backup, archive, replication and snapshotting scenarios for a myriad of production assets. 

"By offering a modular approach for consuming the breadth of capabilities in the Simpana solution set, customers can start with their most pressing data protection modernisation needs and grow into the rest of the Simpana platform as other aspects of their IT environment need better protection.”
