CommVault: Commvault And Dell To Deliver First Integrated Data Management Solution With Embedded Block-Level Deduplication

CommVault (NASDAQ: CVLT) - Reading, Berkshire, -- News Facts

CommVault and Dell have strengthened their global OEM partnership with today's introduction of the Dell PowerVault DL2000, powered by CommVault Simpana 8 software. This new joint offering is designed to help small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) achieve significant operational efficiencies and cost savings with an all-in-one disk-based solution featuring embedded block-level deduplication and improved management of virtualized environments.

Additionally, due to the flexibility of the Dell PowerVault DL2000, powered by CommVault Simpana 8 software, the new joint solution can also be seamlessly deployed into the datacenter, as well as remote offices.

With this new offering, Dell customers can decrease storage-related expenses by up to 40 percent by reducing the costs and complexity of storing, protecting and managing data across both disk and tape tiers of storage.

The DL2000 leverages CommVault's holistic approach to data management, which unifies backup, recovery, deduplication, archiving, replication and virtual server protection on a common platform with a centralized management interface.

Integrated Deduplication Delivers Robust Performance & Unprecedented Value

The Dell PowerVault DL2000 powered by CommVault Simpana 8 extends block-level deduplication across an organization's backup and archive copies residing on disk and tape to deliver unparalleled data reduction at up to 50 percent less cost than that associated with specialized hardware-based dedupe appliances.

Dell's PowerVault DL2000 seamlessly integrates backup and archive deduplication with replication to deliver WAN-efficient and affordable disaster recovery compared to purpose-built appliances.

With deduplication ratios of up to 20:1, the PowerVault DL2000 enables companies to retain more data on less disk storage. Compressed, deduplicated data is preserved as it is migrated transparently off primary storage to secondary tiers of more cost-efficient disk storage and tape for more affordable, long-term retention. In particular, deduplication with tape can reduce the footprint of long-term vaulting or compliance copies by up to 90 percent.

Simpler and faster disk-based backups and recoveries with expedited deployments in less than 30 minutes now are possible with the DL2000 First-Time Boot Utility, and auto-detection and configuration of disk storage.

The PowerVault DL2000 supports deduplication rates of nearly 1.5 TBs per hour when performing full backup operations while also providing the flexibility to scale up to 144 TBs of usable disk space to keep pace with growing storage environments.

Single Platform Approach Simplifies Deployment, Configuration and Management of Storage Environments

CommVault's Singular Information Management approach simplifies the entire backup and recovery process while making it easy for SMBs to deploy additional modules for archiving, replication, resource management and search/discovery.

Unlike competing solutions, CommVault's Simpana software modules are created with a single unifying code base and common platform to reduce back-end infrastructure and administrative overhead.

Dell's PowerVault DL2000 also leverages a single management console with a consolidated view of all managed data across all applications, platforms, devices and locations to ensure simplified deployment, configuration and management of storage environments.

SolarWinds Energizes Data Management with Dell PowerVault DL2000 & CommVault Simpana 8

SolarWinds provides powerful, simple and affordable network management software to more than 80,000 customers worldwide. The Austin, Tex.-based company embraces data protection best practices. As a result, the dedicated technology team decided to migrate from the company's legacy Backup Exec data protection platform when lengthy, laborious backups began exceeding their weekend window for full backups. Additionally, SolarWinds wanted to take advantage of more sophisticated, enterprise-class data management capabilities, including deduplication and archiving.

SolarWinds upgraded to Dell's PowerVault DL 2000 with CommVault Simpana 8 software and has reported a nearly 50 percent improvement in the speed of their backup and recovery. The company also leveraged integrated, block-level deduplication and has claimed a reduction in the amount of data stored on disk by 70 percent.

Additionally, SolarWinds is benefiting from single virtual client support for its ever-expanding VMware infrastructure while eliminating the need for time-consuming, manual scripting to protect and manage its sprawling virtualized environment.
