SINGAPORE, January
24, 2017 – Commvault (NASDAQ: CVLT), a global leader in enterprise backup, recovery,
archive and the cloud, today launched new reference architectures for Amazon
Web Services (AWS) to enable customers to simplify data protection and
management with a pre-optimized, easy to
deploy, and validated solution. Available through Commvault direct and on AWS
Marketplace, the reference
architectures provide
enterprises with clear guidance on how the Commvault Data Platform can help
organizations optimize their use of the AWS Cloud for backup, archive and
recovery. Commvault also announced that existing customers can apply their
licenses to applications enabled through AWS Marketplace. Additionally,
customers will have the ability to easily direct data storage to specific AWS
services – such as Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3), Amazon S3
Standard – Infrequent Access (Amazon S3-IA) and Amazon Glacier.

The validated
Commvault reference architectures with AWS further simplify hybrid
infrastructure data protection for Commvault customers while also reducing
cost, improving agility and speeding deployment of Commvault Software with the
AWS Cloud for backup, archive and recovery.

“AWS and Commvault
share a commitment to helping enterprises incorporate the cloud into their data
protection strategies,” said Terry Wise, Vice President of the Worldwide
Partner Ecosystem, Amazon Web Services, Inc. “The launch of these new validated
reference architectures from Commvault further simplifies the use of the
Commvault Data Platform with the AWS Cloud for our joint customers, helping
them to accelerate the implementation of data protection projects that lower
operating and capital expenses while still providing reliable, secure and quick
access to their business data.”

Dow Jones, a
subsidiary of News Corp and global provider
of news and business information, was one of the
first Commvault customers to go through a business transformation workshop and
review the reference architecture guide.

“Given our success
using this cloud data protection model, I expect other customers to thrive
using Commvault’s reference architecture with AWS to improve SLA’s for
recovery, reduce infrastructure costs and eliminate tape management,” said
Shaown Nandi, VP and Head of Infrastructure and Cloud, Dow Jones. “To date, we
have moved more than 50 percent of our infrastructure into the cloud and with
Commvault’s data management solution, have the flexibility to manage our data
on-premise, in the cloud, or wherever we need it to be. Today, we have a
resilient data protection model with improved SLA’s for recovery, reduced
infrastructure costs, and no tape management.”

“Customers are
increasingly migrating applications to the cloud, adding complexity to the
existing infrastructure. Commvault’s improved reference architecture helps
organizations to simplify and manage their existing cloud infrastructure,
enhance data protection and minimize data duplication during backup and
recovery processes.” said Owen Taraniuk, Theatre Vice President, APAC &
Japan, Commvault.

Simplifying AWS Data
Management with the Powerful Commvault Data Platform

As an AWS Advanced
Technology Partner with AWS Storage Competency status, Commvault is a leader in
helping enterprises solve data management challenges associated with the shift
to hybrid and public cloud infrastructures, and is currently used by
enterprises to manage more than 30 petabytes of data in the AWS Cloud.

From day-to-day backup
and recovery to long-term archiving, Commvault’s single, unified platform
simplifies data protection, while also delivering powerful data management
capabilities, including:

·         Indexing and cataloging capabilities that
simplify data search and retrieval and speed up recovery.

·         Automated, policy-based data movement between
on premise infrastructure and AWS, making it easy for enterprises to store data
in Amazon S3, Amazon S3-IA or Amazon Glacier or move entire workloads directly
into Amazon EC2 instances.

·         Support for petabyte-scale mass import that
leverages AWS Snowball and drive shipping.

Commvault enables
enterprises to apply the same data recovery and retention policies to data on
AWS as data located on local disks or other devices. By extending Commvault’s
security, encryption and deduplication capabilities to AWS, enterprises can
lower costs and eliminate the need to build complex scripts, while also
securing a single end-to-end solution that they can be used to manage all their
data, anywhere, in any format.
