Commvault has announced that Commvault Complete Backup & Recovery Software is now available for purchase directly from NetApp and NetApp channel partners. Tightly-integrated and a primary backup solution across the NetApp storage portfolio, Commvault Complete Backup & Recovery Software provides more features and functionality than previous offerings for any environment, whether it be on-premise, hybrid or in the cloud. The announcement was made in Nashville at Commvault GO 2018, the company’s annual customer conference, and the new interface will be provided to all new and existing customers in December.
The announcement expands on the close technology collaboration between Commvault and NetApp to enable NetApp customers to simplify end-to-end backup and recovery operations. By becoming a full resell partner, both NetApp and their channel partners are able to offer a NetApp solution that includes Complete Backup & Recovery Software. As a result, NetApp is aligning Commvault’s leading backup and recovery solution with NetApp’s successful and innovative Data Fabric, enabling customers to simplify snapshot management and backup and recovery, and easily extend data protection to the cloud.
“Commvault’s Complete Backup & Recovery software aligns with our Data Fabric approach to give organisations unprecedented access and control of their data to help pursue business priorities and safeguard key information and assets. Our relationship with Commvault helps NetApp deliver the most modern data products and services to customers and channel partners,” said Joel Reich, Executive Vice President and General Manager, Storage Systems and Software business unit, NetApp.
“Together with NetApp, we are helping enterprise customers reduce IT and data management costs and complexity by eliminating the need for multiple software and hardware products or single-purpose tools. Our combined solutions help make infrastructure more efficient and help customers manage storage growth. Commvault can seamlessly enable data recovery and offsite data management, turning data protection into a function that serves the business. This expanded relationship is continuing evidence of the success and momentum coming from Commvault’s shift to a partner-led strategy,” said Owen Taraniuk, Head of Worldwide Partnerships and Market Development at Commvault.
