STORServer Launches Entry-Level CommVault Backup Appliance and Small Expansion System

STORServer, Inc. announced the launch of a second entry-level backup appliance, the BA641-CV, and a ‘small’ CommVault expansion system (EBA-EXPSM-CV). 

Both of the systems are powered by CommVault Systems, Inc.

BA641-CV is an upgraded version of the BA601-CV adding 256GB of two RAID-1 ‘value’ class SSDs. It is also upgraded to front plane hot swappable disks and comes with a faster processor. The result is a cost savings for customer sites with up to 10TB of front-end terabyte capacity who would otherwise have to purchase the larger 20TB FET EBA802-CV.

The EBA-EXPSM-CV introduces an expansion system that also offers a smaller footprint for media agent deployments at 10TBs of FET. Called the small CommVault expansion system, this server provides convenience for customers with multiple expansion system sites who need flexibility for remote sites or departments in the sub-10TB range.

In addition to this offering, all expansion systems do not include installation. This allows customers the option to purchase installation separately. For multi deployments, customers can purchase just one expansion system installation and add the rest on their own.

“The development of these two new models comes in large part due to customer demand,” said Bill Smoldt, president and CEO, STORServer. “We are constantly making changes and improvements to our backup appliances to meet the needs of our diverse customer environments.“

Powered by TSM and CommVault, the company offers a suite of enterprise backup appliances, software and services that solve backup, archive and DR challenges.

The Enterprise Backup Appliance 2202 received the Best in Class designation in analyst firm DCIG’s 2014-15 Integrated Backup Appliance Buyer’s Guide. In addition, STORServer models took seven of the top ten positions in the guide.
