Commvault CEO introduces the five fundamentals of holistic data management

Commvault Chairman, President and CEO N. Robert Hammer opened the company’s inaugural customer conference, Commvault GO 2016 with five fundamentals that enable enterprises to gain a holistic data management strategy:

Know your data
Organisations today need to have control over where data is stored, how secure it is and how available it is for fast recovery, disaster recovery, test/dev, reporting and business analytics. By embracing a rich, broad, dynamic and scalable index, organisations can collect, modify and organise all their information.

Federate your data
In today’s data universe, enterprises have many data points and silos, and may not know what data they have or where it is located. To federate data - consolidating it in a single, virtual space - is to seamlessly protect, recover, move, find and deliver apps and data spanning different infrastructures, and to also access and use data without having to move it.

Mobilise your data – Organisations need to aggregate their data, which currently resides in array of locations – on premise, in the cloud, in virtual environments and on mobile. To successfully mobilise, organisations must be able to back up data on these devices to prevent data loss and wipe all important data from a device.

Govern your data
By having data federated under one corporate governance capability, organisations can understand what data they have, where it resides and have the ability to put auditable policies on data ensuring compliance.

Secure your data
A securitisation strategy into how data is managed requires authentication of the person who wants to access data, confirmation that the person has access to the right data, and ensures data is secured, encrypted and password protected.

“It’s no secret that the industry and customers across the world are at a tipping point of disruption and face complex questions on how to efficiently deal with an explosion of different types of applications, data and IT infrastructures,” said Hammer.

"The five fundamentals provide smart advice for organisations to launch a holistic strategy and gain insights and value from their data in disparate environments. Commvault’s Data Platform is focused on solving customer challenges and these are essential guiding points for enterprises to succeed and thrive while facing changing circumstances.”

The Commvault Data Platform addresses the five fundamentals of holistic data management by empowering organisations to control data and streamline processes and operations.
