Commvault HyperScale™ Software & Commvault HyperScale™ Appliance Modernize On-Premises Customer Environments with Powerful Scale-Out Data Protection Infrastructure

Commvault's HyperScale Software solutions bring scale-out infrastructure to the Commvault Data Platform and seamlessly integrate with storage arrays, hypervisors, applications and the full range of cloud provider solutions to support the most diverse and dynamic environments. Customers can consume Commvault HyperScale Software solutions in one of two ways: Commvault HyperScale Appliance and Commvault HyperScale Software.

In support of true hybrid IT environments, Commvault HyperScale Software is uniquely positioned in the market to protect and securely move workloads across any type of infrastructure including public cloud, private cloud and on-premises. The Commvault HyperScale technology leverages a built-in operating environment, virtualization, and storage technologies from Red Hat to provide a robust, enterprise-grade foundation.

"Building upon our impeccable track record of innovation in data protection, we are excited to introduce this unique and highly-differentiated infrastructure offering to the market to replace outdated scale-up architectures and point products that have proved to be inefficient and long overdue for change," said N. Robert Hammer, chairman, president and CEO of Commvault.  "Commvault HyperScale Appliance and Commvault HyperScale Software are infrastructure options that provide flexible models for consumption while helping customers replace costly legacy hardware, avoid vendor lock in, and gain modern agility, flexibility and cloud-economics that were previously unavailable."

Scale-Out:  Modernizing Data Architectures

The launch of Commvault HyperScale Appliance and Commvault HyperScale Software addresses the ongoing shift enterprises are making towards secondary storage as a means to drive key business and IT transformation initiatives. Commvault believes that approximately 70% of customer data is consumed as a secondary copy, and therefore, these HyperScale solutions are able to meet the increasing demands of the secondary storage market by delivering customers a unified, modern data protection and management platform that delivers cloud-like services on-premises.

The demands of secondary storage and the need to find new value from secondary copy data is driving customers to find alternatives to how to store and manage ever increasing data workloads and move away from traditional "scale up" purpose build appliances. Commvault is uniquely positioned to offer customers true enterprise-scale coverage with an integrated modern scale-out approach to meet these demands while adding market-leading data management software fully integrated into the strategy. 

"Yesterday's architectures for enterprise data protection are simply inadequate for the kinds of agility and efficiency that modern organizations of all sizes are demanding," said Jason Buffington, principal data protection analyst, ESG. "Commvault has a long history of continually innovating ahead of market demand in response to the ever evolving and heightening data protection landscape. As such, it is not surprising to see Commvault disrupting the status quo of legacy appliances and antiquated approaches, as well as heading off niche alternatives, with its HyperScale offerings."
