Commvault Takes Data Resiliency To The Edge

The company announced two new additions to its HyperScale X solution.

Commvault, which provides cyber resilience and data protection solutions, announced two new capabilities in its HyperScale X solution.

HyperScale Edge is designed to enable localized data protection and recovery for remote sites and edge locations.

The second new addition, HyperScale Flex, provides backup and recovery for “large, data-intensive, and AI workloads,” Commvault said in a news release.

HyperScale X is a signature offering from Commvault, comprised of a hardware appliance bundled with the HyperScale X platform. The solution offers data protection throughout a hybrid environment.

The company has also positioned the new additions as a fit for small-to-midsized enterprises.

“No two enterprises are the same. Modern retailers often manage mission-critical data across dozens of sites, while large organizations may want to leverage existing storage investments. But regardless of infrastructure, every enterprise is striving for one thing: cyber resilience,” said Pranay Ahlawat, chief technology and AI officer of Commvault, in a statement. “With the launch of HyperScale Edge and HyperScale Flex, we’re delivering the best of both worlds — flexibility and choice, combined with industry-leading cyber resilience.”

The announcement follows a spate of new announcements from Commvault this year.

In early June, the company rolled out enhancements to its security platform to aid organizations in protecting against emerging cyberthreats brought on by quantum computing.

“PQC cybersecurity isn’t just a technology for the world’s largest financial or health-care systems; it is something for the midmarket to consider, said Michael Fasulo, senior director of portfolio marketing at Commvault, in a statement to MES Computing about threats post-quantum computing could pose to midmarket organizations.

Commvault also recently announced a “strengthened” relationship with existing partner Hewlett Packard Enterprise.

HPE’s hybrid cloud platform GreenLake already integrates with Commvault Cloud. As part of the deepened partnership, Commvault is integrating and offering HPE Zerto Software, which provides continuous data protection, to Commvault Cloud customers. This integration will enable Commvault customers to manage virtualized on-prem and cloud workloads, HPE said in a news release at the time.
