The first milestone in this multistep initiative to integrate Commvault ’ s enterprise-class data protection software suite with the VAST Data Platform will be to deliver a co-engineered solution for the needs of the ransomware era , based on realworld customer deployments , intended to maximise the recovery of critical data assets protected by Commvault data protection software on VAST infrastructure .

Combining Commvault ’ s next generation active defence and automation data protection capabilities with the scale and performance of the VAST Data Platform , the two companies will provide a robust , highly scalable , and performant solution designed to help enterprise customers return to business following a data loss event like a ransomware attack .

“ This is a great step in our continued partnership with Commvault , bringing organisations a joint solution that provides protection and recovery from ransomware and cyberattacks while optimising performance , cost , and efficiency ,” said Michael Wing , President at VAST Data .

“ Our customers and partners love our ability to recover data faster and at a lower

TCO than their previous data protection solutions by reducing the amount of data stored , consolidating infrastructure , and helping them meet their sustainability goals – all while moving toward a future-proof , AI-ready data platform . This validated design that we ’ re currently working on together will take that to the next level , and I cannot wait to see all the great innovation that will follow .”

Together , this new validated design from VAST and Commvault will offer differentiated capabilities that help organisations keep data secure with built-in protocols that drive compliance , detection and monitoring to increase visibility and accelerate response times , and first-class recoverability to thwart data loss , restore quickly and maintain business continuity .

These capabilities include :

Rapid Restores

By architecting Commvault ’ s platform to take advantage of VAST ’ s all-flash read performance , this validated design will optimise instant recovery with a fast , space efficient , highly scalable system that removes data silos to safeguard data wherever it is across clouds , datacentres , SaaS apps , containers , and the edge .

Continuous Operations

With VAST ’ s unique ability to run production and backup workloads on the same cluster , Commvault can enable enterprises to instantly return their most critical applications and workloads to normal

operations by eliminating the need to perform time-consuming restore processes .

Reduced Threats

Commvault and VAST ’ s secure ,

comprehensive data protection solutions leverage advanced security features like Commvault ’ s Metallic ThreatWise , multifactor authentication , administrative workflows , Object Lock , and VAST ’ s Indestructible Snapshots .

With rich security integrations , realtime data infrastructure and security tools to accelerate incident response , automate countermeasures , and connect IT and security teams , Commvault and VAST are helping organisations to surface zero-day , unknown , and insider cyber threats , further mitigating exposure to bad actors and Ransomware attacks .

Flexible Economics

The consumption models within the upcoming jointly validated design allow customers to consume data protection as it suits their business – without compromise . This flexible model simplifies the procurement process for both customers and partners by detailing the bill of material required . •
