Commvault expands Data Platform

Commvault has introduced the eleventh version of its solutions portfolio (v11) – Commvault Software and the Commvault Data Platform, including expanded capabilities for Amazon Web Services (AWS) beyond virtual machines to include protection of databases, further enabling enterprises to implement holistic data management strategies on premise or in the cloud.

Commvault has also announced new backup, migration and data protection capabilities for applications and workloads in Oracle and Azure clouds, with support now for more than 25 public clouds and an increasing range of cloud-based or cloud specific workloads.

To make it easier for users to quickly and easily configure, run and monitor their environment, Commvault announced a new series of role-specific user interfaces on HTML-5 including a new admin console for database and virtualisation administrators to help users run and monitor their Commvault environment. These new consoles enable users to run extensive graphical and visual representations of KPIs, utilisation, operational health and other metrics, and can be personalised based upon their role within the organization.

Commvault has also achieved SAP-certified integration with the SAP HANA platform on IBM Power Systems. As a result, customers can improve IT efficiencies and gain greater business value from their data running in SAP HANA.

Commvault delivers automated backup and recovery of data in SAP HANA, including SAP S/4HANA and other use cases and deployment types. Customers running SAP HANA can use Commvault Data Platform for rapid recovery, point-in-time recovery, fast spin-ups as well as refresh of development and test environments for SAP HANA or to create clone databases from snapshots with no production impact. The Commvault Data Platform is also tightly integrated with the SAP HANA studio and SAP HANA cockpit to support simple DBA self-service and monitoring of data protection tasks.

“Since SAP HANA was first released, Commvault has been focused on ensuring that SAP HANA customers can sleep easy at night knowing that their SAP HANA data is backed up for rapid recovery, if necessary,” said Brian Brockway, Chief Technology Officer at Commvault.

 “The successful achievement of SAP certification for the Commvault Data Platform with SAP HANA on IBM Power systems further strengthens our partnership with SAP by demonstrating that Commvault is working with SAP to help customers ensure that their SAP HANA data is protected.”
