According to ESG research, data growth has become a constant in modern IT environments, with 59% of survey respondents reporting that they believe their organization’s total volume of data is growing by 21% or more annually. Commvault provides robust data protection and recovery along with all-in-one workload management and reporting. HyperScale X delivers scalability through HPE GreenLake hardware.
Organizations have complete control over the data managed by Commvault. VMs can be moved from platform to platform, and data can be recovered with a couple of clicks. Data management is simplified and automated, providing increased agility for an ever-changing ecosystem. IT admins don’t need to adopt new tools to keep up with evolving business requirements, such as moving workloads to the cloud or between clouds.

Data volumes continue to grow, and there is no sign that data creation is slowing down anytime soon. Organizations need to provision infrastructure quickly enough to hold the massive number of backups needed to protect against data loss or compromise. They also need to know what data types they have and where they are.
Together, Commvault with HPE GreenLake provide IT admins with the ability to back up with confidence while scaling infrastructure quickly to keep up with increasing volumes. Meanwhile, Commvault analyzes the data as it’s backed up to help gain business insights.

ESG research identified the combination of accelerating data growth and copies of that data is creating a deluge, inundating the IT infrastructure with more complexity, cost, and cyber-risk from an expanded attack surface. Many data backup solutions don’t provide the additional data security features needed to protect the data while it’s archived or migrated. Often third-party tools are required, increasing cost and complexity to manage the growing data infrastructure of modern businesses.
Commvault’s ransomware protection provides secure backup capabilities with immutable backups, actively prevents tampering on significant data volumes, and recovers data in the event of an attack. Commvault also features role-based access control, so Commvault users only see the data they need to see, while providing auditing for key functions. Commvault’s built-in security features prevent organizations from having to pay for and manage several different tools to try to bolt-on security after the fact.

The goal of ESG Validation reports is to educate IT professionals about information technology solutions for companies of all types and sizes. ESG Validation reports are not meant to replace the evaluation process that should be conducted before making purchasing decisions, but rather to provide insight into these emerging technologies. Our objectives are to explore some of the more valuable features and functions of IT solutions, show how they can be used to solve real customer problems, and identify any areas needing improvement. The ESG Validation Team’s expert third-party perspective is based on our own hands-on testing as well as on interviews with customers who use these products in production environments.
