Reading, UK, and Cisco Live, Las Vegas, NV: Commvault has launched new Reference Architectures with alliance partner Cisco to give customers and partners an easy-to-buy, pre-optimised and validated solution for simplified data protection and recovery using Commvault’s award-winning Software deployed on the Cisco Unified Computing System™ (Cisco UCS) infrastructure. Commvault also announced support into Cisco’s HyperFlex hyperconvergence system to help organisations protect data workloads and applications across virtualised and cloud infrastructures. The new reference architectures and Commvault’s support of HyperFlex were both announced at Cisco Live in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Through the new Reference Architectures, which provide a set of guidelines and best delivery methods for particular technology deployments within an IT service catalogue, customers can now leverage an all-in-one solution with a single, unified backup, recovery and archive platform that lowers total cost of ownership and has the flexibility to scale from terabytes to petabytes. As a result, customers can eliminate the cost and hassle of deploying multiple single-purpose appliances with a modernised data infrastructure that provides insight and value to the business and keeps up with the pace of today’s data growth demands.
“We have had significant success using Commvault Software in combination with our Cisco UCS and Nimble infrastructure to turn our data into a significant strategic asset for our organisation,” said Matloob Hussain, ICT Infrastructure Engineer, Xentrall ICT Services. “Since the original rollout, we have upgraded to the 11th version of Commvault’s data platform, which has resulted in backup times becoming significantly quicker and archive recall speeds that are on a par with accessing un-archived files, across our environment.”
The Commvault Reference Architectures, which enable customers to deploy quickly, reduce implementation risks and accelerate time to value, are available for select Commvault customers and Cisco partners immediately. More details can be found here.
“When we look for solutions to our customers’ important data backup, recovery and management needs, both on-premise and outside in hybrid cloud scenarios, we not only require exceptional technologies, but also solutions built on partnerships by trusted industry leaders,” said Tom Cahill, Vice President, Product and Partner Management, CDW. “Through their new reference architectures, Commvault and Cisco are going to make it easier and faster for CDW to deliver the solutions that add value for our customers.”
“Today’s launch of the new reference architectures and our support into Cisco HyperFlex bring trusted industry leaders together with complimentary technologies for the benefit of customers and partners,” said Ralph Nimergood, Vice President, Worldwide Channels & Alliances, Commvault. “We are proud to team up with Cisco to address real customer pain points around ease of purchase and deployment in the form of reference architectures to reduce unnecessary hardware acquisition costs, optimise mission critical applications and limit the time to implement the right-sized solution significantly.”
