UbiStor Deploys CommVault Simpana Software

CommVault Systems, Inc. announced that UbiStor, Inc, an IT managed solutions provider headquartered in Schaumburg, IL, has deployed its Simpana 10 software to scale modern data protection solutions and deliver insights on operations for both its business and for customers.

CommVault’ s single software platform enables UbiStor to automate its data protection services and provides reporting, customer visibility and secure access to data stored in UbiStor’ s cloud. UbiStor has standardized data protection of physical and virtual servers utilizing Simpana 10′ s single holistic management platform. This has enabled UbiStor to offer managed solutions to address client backup, recovery, archiving and eDiscovery powered by Simpana 10.

Additionally, UbiStor and its customers are able to stay ahead of IT service delivery needs, and cut time and costs through the software’ s ability to detect and bring new VMs under protection. Policy-based auto-discovery ensures that UbiStor can react in real time whenever an employee or a customer deploys a new VM, protecting it and acting as a lens into the virtualized environments at all times.

All backups in UbiStor s virtualized environment are now performed within two to three hours, without errors versus three to four times that with the company’ s previous solution.

According to Dave Brooks, UbiStor CTO: “One of the best things that CommVault allows us to give our customers is insight into their data. What we found is that some customer’s data was sitting out there spinning on primary storage, taking up expensive space, while others had files that had not been touched in two years or longer. Simpana archive and content indexing gives them the ability to move that data to reduce costs, and still lets them easily access it should they need it.“

The modern data protection features, operational reporting and automation, provided by Simpana software, have enabled UbiStor to expand its portfolio of services to encompass holistic data management, including archive and DR as a managed solution.

UbiStor now works with its customers to develop a tactical DR roadmap, acting as a trusted advisor on BC plans and implementing Simpana software to support its customers DR strategies.

A reduction in support needs since partnering with CommVault has enabled UbiStor to provide a less expensive solution to customers, helping the company to retain its existing client base as well as acquire new customers, increasing the service provider’ s bottom line.
