2019: Certification for application with Cisco HyperFlex

On January 21, 2019 the Commvault company announced that its technology of instant pictures IntelliSnap successfully passed test and is certified for use with the hyper convergent Cisco HyperFlex systems. The technology is used for protection of workloads, file systems and virtual machines without use of tools of the third firms. The solution provides to customers of an option of management, simplification and flexible architecture, corresponding to both their current demands, and requirements which can arise in the future.

Use of ScaleProtect on the Cisco UCS platform complements numerous opportunities of the Cisco HyperFlex platform with functions of backup and data recovery. Supported by a numerous ecosystem of providers of public clouds, ScaleProtect on the Cisco UCS platform turns Cisco HyperFlex into a multicloud platform. The solution provides reliable support of such applications of the enterprise level as SAP HANA (for which service the solution Commvault is already certified). ScaleProtect on the Cisco UCS platform allows customers to implement the business and critical applications on Cisco HyperFlex, guaranteeing reliable data backup of these applications and fast recovery if necessary. ScaleProtect combination on the Cisco UCS platform to the hyper convergent Cisco HyperFlex system implements the software-defined solution which provides backup and recovery of a corporate class for a comprehensive protection of data in the data center working at a basis of intent-based data Center.

The combined solution of Commvault and Cisco gives to customers flexibility for data protection, being in the infrastructure Cisco platform, and their fast movement to this platform or from this platform depending on requirements of business. Integration of IntelliSnap with HyperFlex is the next stage of our cooperation and a fine example of how two companies coordinate the efforts on release of simple, effective solutions at cost which solve real problems of customers and promote profit increase of our general partners.

2017: Integration of Commvault IntelliSnap with FlashStack

On March 15, 2017 the Commvault company announced integration of the Commvault Data Platform platform and IntelliSnap technology into the platform offered jointly Cisco and Pure Storage for FlashStack infrastructure.

Commvault in partnership with Pure Storage and Cisco assists customers in transition to creation of IT infrastructure upon which servers, storage systems and network equipment were the "islands" isolated among themselves, to application of previously designed, collected, tested and optimized solutions.

Commvault IntelliSnap will provide to owners of FlashStack the management tool, it considers specifics of specific applications, automates and coordinates creation, preserving and use of instant pictures, simplifying procedures of protection and data recovery, the organization of sharing of data.

The software of Commvault Software integrates processes of data protection and recovery due to automation of working procedures that reduces load of IT specialists of the customer and FlashStack. The joint testing and development of reference architecture executed by Cisco and Commvault simplify and do more effective data protection of FlashStack using instant pictures, providing backup on Cisco Unified Computing System (Cisco UCS) as a part of a stack of the integrated infrastructure.

After FlashStack implementation, the software helps to provide protection and recovery of critical workloads, eliminating risks of manual activities, to reduce costs of working time and expenses connected with management when using the Cisco S-series servers as storage system of the second level and for data protection.

Developing our cooperation with Pure Storage and Cisco for integration of Commvault IntelliSnap with FlashStack, we once again show our aspiration to support all completely solid-state data centers in order that business and critical applications worked quicker, more effectively and to provide their high availability to our general customers. Thanks to Commvault Software which provides the level of data protection of the FlashStack platform created based on servers and network equipment of Cisco and specialized solid-state storage systems of Pure Storage customers have an opportunity to use the solution which single is previously designed, collected and tested. This integrated architecture not only simplifies equipment procurements, saving from need to purchase additional components, but also optimizes work of critical applications and accelerates implementation. Such combination of technologies gives to customers power and efficiency in one convergent solution. Ralph Nimergood, vice president of Commvault for global channels and alliances

2016: Commvault IntelliSnap and Nutanix Acropolis Hypervisor are integrated

In January, 2016 Commvault and the company [provided to [Nutanix] integration of the products Commvault and Nutanix Acropolis Hypervisor. Integration includes possibilities of Commvault IntelliSnap on management of instant pictures for protection and data recovery on the virtual machines working under Nutanix. These improvements allow customers to increase predictability, scalability and efficiency of data protection at deployment of infrastructure in the virtualized environment, and at the same time not to lose flexibility and the level of service which are provided by Commvault Data Platform.

The organizations need really "invisible" infrastructure of data center for crucial applications which would allow IT department to be focused completely on the applications and services providing business life activity. Besides, the need for modern data protection which is provided with simple, scalable and safe single solution for all hypervisors grows.

Commvault added support of a hypervisor of Nutanix Acropolis to already available opportunities for support of VMware vSphere and Microsoft Hyper-V. Thus Commvault became the only software platform which provides integration of hardware instant pictures and data protection without use of agents for all three hypervisors on the Nutanix platform. Using functionality of Commvault IntelliSnap and Nutanix Acropolis Distributed Storage Fabric for instant pictures, this integration gives to clients the chance to optimize costs due to use of the most suitable hypervisor and also to reduce risks and labor costs in scalable and high-performance solutions.

Integration with Nutanix Acropolis Hypervisor allows Commvault to expand the portfolio of the supported hypervisors, including VMware vSphere and Microsoft Windows Server 2012 with Hyper-V.

Basic support of Nutanix Acropolis is already available to certain clients. Integration of more advanced IntelliSnap technology will appear later in the first quarter 2016. Integration of Nutanix and Commvault allows:

• Unroll solutions on data protection which correspond to requirements of user applications with options as for traditional line methods of backup for virtual machines, and for the methods based on instant pictures.
• Reduce windows of backup and accelerate recovery with management of instant pictures without writing of scripts
• Provide consistency of a broad spectrum of corporate applications, including SAP, Oracle, Exchange, and SQL Server
• Remove need for the difficult multilevel solution and replace it with completely integrated solution for physical, virtual (VMware, Hyper-V, and Acropolis hypervisors) and cloud data
