Commvault, a global leader in enterprise backup,
recovery, archive and the cloud, has been positioned by
Gartner, in the Leaders quadrant of the recently released Magic
Quadrant for
Data Center Backup and Recovery Solutions. Among Leaders, Gartner
positioned Commvault furthest on completeness of vision. This is the
seventh consecutive year Commvault has been named a leader in Gartner’s
market evaluation for backup and recovery.
According to the report, “Gartner
provides analysis and evaluation of the leading data centre backup
solution vendors that offer a range of traditional to innovative
availability capabilities.”
“We feel this recognition by Gartner is a
validation of our innovation and unparalleled customer service for the
seventh straight year and is great news for Commvault and for our
customers and partners,”
said N. Robert Hammer, Chairman, President and CEO, Commvault.
“We
believe our much simpler, easier-to-use solutions enabled by our new,
comprehensive UX*, and our competitive, flexible pricing models built on
the powerful Commvault Data Platform, are driving
our building market momentum and leadership. We believe our industry
leading automation, data portability and unparalleled functionality in
the cloud have established Commvault as the leader as enterprises
journey to the cloud. I want to thank our employees,
partners and customers for their passion, innovation and execution,
which has allowed us to realise our vision of delivering solutions
not only for classic recovery use cases but also as an
effective weapon battling ransomware, GDPR, and for broad data
management.”
The new report also states that “many
companies are willing to adopt new technologies and products from new
vendors, and they have shown an increased willingness to augment or even
completely switch
backup and recovery providers to better meet their increasing
service-level needs, overall cost requirements and ease of management
needs.”
Commvault attributes its leadership position
in the data management market to directly addressing enterprises’
evolving data backup and recovery needs with solutions that
allow them to
move data to the cloud, avoid vendor lock in and quickly scale to
support rapid growth.
Enterprises’ data backup and recovery
requirements continue to evolve as data becomes increasingly
central to success in the digital economy, ransomware attacks grow in
volume and sophistication,
and enterprises accelerate their move to the cloud, says Commvault. For example,
according to Gartner:
- By 2021, 50% of organisations will augment or replace their current backup application with another solution, compared to what they deployed at the beginning of 2017.
- By 2020, 30% of large enterprises will leverage snapshots and backup for more than just operational recovery (e.g., disaster recovery, test/development, DevOps, etc.), up from less than 15% at the beginning of 2017.
- By 2020, the number of enterprises using the cloud as a backup target will double, up from 10% at the beginning of 2017.
- By 2019, despite increasing effectiveness of countermeasures, successful ransomware attacks will double in frequency year over year, up from 2 to 3 million in 2016. One of the few ways to counter ransomware is to maintain backups that allow victims to avoid paying the ransoms.
