CommVault
(NASDAQ: CVLT):
-
CommVault today announced that it is teaming with Dell
to offer a new integrated backup-to-disk solution that will give
small- and medium-sized (SMB) companies better assurance that
mission-critical data is protected, available and accessible.
-
This offering is built on the new Dell™
PowerVault™ DL2000, the industry’s
first customer-installable, integrated software and hardware solution
powered by the award-winning CommVault®
Simpana® 7.0 software, and provides a
comprehensive disk-to-disk based solution to help customers implement
and leverage a data management strategy that is simpler and more
cost-effective to deploy.

The DL2000 lowers the cost and complexity barriers of entry for
companies looking to increase the speed and reliability of their
backups, reduce their storage footprint and centralize the protection
of remote sites.
Innovative Disk-Based Backup Technology Improves and Simplifies
Backup Operations
|
--
|
Organizations typically buy and use significantly more storage
than they actually need due to redundant data and inefficient data
management. The Dell PowerVault DL2000, powered by CommVault
Simpana software, can help to reduce costs and prevent unnecessary
expenditures with features that include:
|
|
|
--
|
Available Built-in De-duplication
Retains More Recovery Points on Less Disk - Eliminates
redundant copies including files, emails and documents to enable
efficient, scalable, and space-optimized data management for
physical or virtual servers.
|
|
|
--
|
Consolidated Management, Reporting and Maintenance - The
Simpana software's centralized management console allows users to
set backup tasks and policies for system monitoring and
maintenance for local or remote physical or virtual servers.
|
|
|
--
|
Single Step Granular Recovery Delivers up to 77 percent Faster
Restores - The DL2000 couples the performance of disk-based
recovery with application aware protection policies to deliver
cross-server, cross-version and even cross-platform file, email,
document or Active Directory attribute level restores.
|
|
|
--
|
"Assist & Accelerate" upgrades of Windows, Exchange and
SharePoint - Restore items forward from prior versions of
critical applications (e.g. Exchange Server 2003 items restored
directly to Exchange Server 2007).
|
|
|
--
|
Synthetic Full Backups Reduce Performance Impact and Backup
Windows - To minimize the performance impact on production
servers and networks, off-host techniques such as synthetic full
jobs are used to generate new full backup copies to support tape
DR or vaulting needs.
|
|
|
--
|
Automated Storage Policies Simplify Tiered Storage Management
- Reduce the retention cost of ownership as data is automatically
moved from disk-to-disk based on user-defined storage policies and
without impacting application servers.

Advanced Archive and Replication Features Enable More Efficient Data
Management

|
Leverage more value from the DL2000 investment by deploying the
advanced data management options in the DL2000, to help contend

production servers while delivering faster backup and recovery.

Distributed Protection of Branch Offices - Pair Dell
PowerVault DL2000s using CommVault's Data Replication software
across geographically distributed sites to efficiently replicate
de-duplicated backups to a centralized DR site for active recovery
or copy to tape.
