CommVault® Simpana® software, a data and information management solution, employs modules for Backup & Recovery, Archive, Replication, Resource Management and Search—all built on a single unifying code base and platform. CommVault Simpana software supports a broad array of operating systems, virtualization technologies and applications, integrating data movement across backup, archive and replication operations to help deliver aggressive SLA’s to the business, while still enabling granular object recovery. With CommVault’s integrated platform, value-add features, such as embedded deduplication, compression, snapshot control, content indexing, and encryption, become check-box items that truly work together seamlessly, versus the traditional solution caveats of disparate code bases and multiple products left for IT to manage separately.

Combining CommVault Simpana software with the Dell EqualLogic PS Series array, CommVault and Dell present a simplified data management solution with a compelling ROI. From a single interface, Simpana software and the Simpana SnapBackup™ module leverage the EqualLogic PS Series array to provide unified creation, access and control of application-consistent snapshots. CommVault software’s unique integration with the PS Series array enables customers to initiate the creation of multiple snapshot recovery copies and select any one of those copies to execute off-host nightly protection to deduplicated disk, tape or cloud storage tiers for long-term retention. This unique ability is driven through a single policy without the need for scripting. The cataloging of snapshots in the PS Series array by CommVault Simpana software helps enable simplified recoveries of applications through snapshot reverts, nightly backups or archive copies from the same recovery view. CommVault software’s application awareness in this process allows users to recover individual files, e-mails or documents from a snapshot or backup copy. In addition, CommVault Simpana software and the Universal Virtual Server Agent also leverage the PS Series array, offering unique, agent-less data management of virtual machine data – including only moving changed, incremental data to deduplicated disk pools on EqualLogic PS storage through incremental backup options. With CommVault and Dell EqualLogic, delivering complete data management for file and application data has never been easier.
