SAN JOSE, Calif. and
TINTON FALLS, N.J., Sept. 29, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Helping the
world harness the power of data, HGST (@HGSTstorage), a Western
Digital company (NASDAQ: WDC), today announced that HGST entered a
strategic relationship with Commvault (NASDAQ: CVLT), a leader in
enterprise data protection and information management. Commvault
Simpana software, with native configuration and management support
for the HGST Active Archive System, delivers a backup solution that
solves data management at scale and provides instant access to data
archives all at a price point that rivals traditional tape.
"Traditional storage arrays, which often leverage RAID
technology, hit serious limitations at scale. Object storage
solutions, like the HGST Active Archive System, overcome the
challenges of protecting massive capacity environments where
traditional backup is often not an option. Object storage provides
several innovations to help accomplish a more robust and
bulletproof ecosystem for data center environments that want to
maintain instant access to archival data," said Scott Sinclair, storage analyst, Enterprise
Strategy Group. "The combination of HGST Active Archive and
Commvault Simpana software provides a very compelling solution for
an active archive tier in the enterprise ecosystem."
Key Solution Benefits Include:
- Lowest cost per terabyte for cloud-scale data backup
- An archive environment that seamlessly grows to multi-petabyte
scale
- Instant access to data, overcoming the limitations of
traditional tape backups
"HGST and Commvault have created a joint technology alliance for
HGST and Commvault's data management platform. HGST has become a
fully qualified technology partner that has been validated, tested
and supported by both parties," said Don Foster, senior
director, office of the CTO at Commvault. "Customers now have
access to the HGST Active Archive System in conjunction with the
data management intelligence that Commvault software provides to
meet access, retention and archive management goals."
"Our relationship with Commvault provides a new level of scale
and protection, so our customers can better handle the demands of
massive data growth, flat budgets and limited IT resources," said
Barbara Murphy, vice president of
marketing, Cloud Infrastructure Business Unit, HGST. "In certifying
our HGST Active Archive System with Commvault's Simpana software
suite, customers have access to a highly affordable,
simple-to-scale object storage system that beats the economics of
traditional cloud infrastructures and provides enterprise-class
backup."
