DataCore and CommVault Partner to Address Software-Defined Storage Momentum and Modernize Data Protection Across Multi-Vendor Environments


FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. --(Business Wire)--

DataCore, a leader in software-defined storage, today announced a partnership with CommVault (News - Alert) (NASDAQ: CVLT) in which SANsymphony-V™ is the first and only software-defined storage architecture to be fully integrated with CommVault's Simpana® IntelliSnap® snapshot management technology. Through the combination of their advanced storage software, DataCore and CommVault will deliver industry-leading data protection and recovery operations for today's dynamic workloads to customers around the world.

CommVault's IntelliSnap technology ensures that IT organizations, including application, virtualization and storage managers, can perform rapid, granular and consistent recovery of vital VMware and Microsoft (News - Alert) Exchange, SQL, SharePoint and file data through federated search across indexed snapshots. CommVault continues to expand this growing ecosystem by enabling software and disk array vendors to integrate their snapshots with IntelliSnap technology through the IntelliSnap Connect Program.

"Today's dynamic application workloads require a different type of thinking as data protection needs to be looked at from end to end and centered around mitigating the impact to the business," said George Teixeira, president and CEO at DataCore. "As a result of our partnership with CommVault, organizations can now leverage the benefits of software-defined storage to accelerate data protection and recovery operations while making hardware maintenance, data migrations and hardware refreshes easier."

With the integration of SANsymphony-V and Simpana IntelliSnap technology, organizations can:

  • Virtualize and pool access to any type of storage regardless of vendor model or brand, enabling companies to maximize their existing storage investments and boost application performance
  • Automate the creation of indexed, application-aware snapshot copies across enterprise-wide, multi-vendor storage environments
  • Simplify deployment and orchestrate recovery across all snapshots, backup and arhive copies, while delivering storage specific reporting and managing replication
  • Minimize downtime with application-aware, point-in-time recovery of Microsoft Exchange Server, SharePoint, SQL, VMware, Hyper-V and other business critical applications
  • Reduce primary storage costs with automated snapshot backup to open systems disk, tape or even the cloud for cost-effective retention



"CommVault is committed to working with partners who share a similar vision in helping increase efficiencies and reducing costs in today's storage environments, while at the same time ensuring data protection and recovery remain top of mind," said Jeff Echols, senior director of product and solutions marketing at CommVault. "As the software-defined storage market continues to grow, organizations will need data protection and recovery solutions in place that work across multiple-vendors in the same architecture - and we have achieved this through our partnership with DataCore."
