Commvault Partnered With Pure Storage

To give power and performance for flash data center with Cisco UCS

Commvault Systems, Inc. announced the integration of its Commvault Data Platform and IntelliSnap technology for FlashStack, a flexible, converged infrastructure solution offered jointly by Cisco Systems, Inc. and Pure Storage, Inc., combining the latest in compute, network, and storage hardware into a single, integrated architecture.

By providing the data protection layer for FlashStack with IntelliSnap integration, Commvault is working with Pure Storage and Cisco to address the ongoing shift from the traditional silo approach of separate servers, storage, and networking equipment to a pre-designed, pre-engineered, tested and optimized solution that provides organizations a scalable infrastructure for deploying mission-critical workloads.

IntelliSnap integration with FlashStack is a suitable replacement over traditional data management and protection tools that are unable to scale and support critical enterprise applications and databases like Oracle, VMware SAP, and SQL and Exchange, whether physical or virtual.

IntelliSnap Technology provides FlashStack customers an application-aware management umbrella that automates and orchestrates the creation, retention and use of snapshots, simplifying data protection and recovery procedures as well as data sharing.

Commvault’s software also integrates the protection and recovery processes by automating workflows, which reduces the burden on a customer’s staff and FlashStack. Testing and reference architectures between Cisco and Commvault make extending FlashStack snapshot protection easy and efficient with backup onto Cisco’s Unified Computing System as part of the converged infrastructure stack.

With FlashStack as a purpose-built consolidation platform for enterprise applications,  Commvault’s simplified data management and optimized protection enables organizations transitioning to FlashStack to have a smooth experience. Following deployment, Commvault also enables FlashStack customers to protect and recover critical workloads faster, reduce risk by eliminating manual processes, and achieve lower management overhead and costs while leveraging Cisco S-series for their secondary storage and data protection needs. By consolidating point products onto FlashStack, customers are able to reduce power and cooling usage while increasing agility by using snapshots for extended uses, like test/dev, devops, analytics, and reporting.

Through our extended collaboration with Pure Storage and Cisco to provide Commvault’s IntelliSnap integration with FlashStack, we reinforce our ongoing commitment to support all flash data centers to enable business critical applications to perform faster, run more efficiently, and be more available for our shared customers,” said Ralph Nimergood, VP of WW channels and alliances, Commvault. “With Commvault Software providing the data protection layer for FlashStack, which is built on industry-leading servers and networking components from Cisco and purpose-built, all flash storage from Pure Storage, customers are able to leverage a pre-designed, pre-engineered, and tested solution as a whole. Not only does this integration make their purchase easier while reducing unnecessary hardware acquisition costs, selecting this architecture optimizes mission-critical applications and limits deployment times. This winning combination of technology industry leaders gives customers the ultimate power and efficiency in one converged solution.

The addition of Commvault Software completes a trifecta of industry leading technology from Cisco and Pure Storage for our FlashStack offering to provide organizations with a powerful, efficient, and evergreen infrastructure solution,” said Michael Sotnick, VP of channels and alliances, Pure. “Commvault’s IntelliSnap Technology is an ideal fit for FlashStack customers who are responsible for transforming their organizations by delivering faster applications, a better user experience and smarter analytics. By providing modernized and innovative data protection and management from Commvault, FlashStack customers will garner an accelerated time to value while driving an increased ROI from their infrastructure.

The FlashStack solution with IntelliSnap integration is available for purchase through select channel partners and resellers of Commvault, Pure Storage and Cisco. Existing infrastructure partners will benefit by expanding their target base to customers seeking to protect critical applications and databases – such as Oracle, VMware, SQL and Exchange, SAP HANA and others – with a validated enterprise solution. This offering enables partners to sell a solution based on Commvault’s longstanding relationships with Pure Storage and Cisco.
