CommVault Unveils ‘Cloud DR’ Offering Hosted at Rackspace

CommVault is introducing “Cloud DR,” a mid-market disaster recovery offering that enables customers to realize higher levels of business continuity without the large capital investments typically required by traditional, off-premises disaster recovery solutions. CommVault will provide small and medium-sized businesses with an affordable, flexible disaster recovery solution that leverages the seamless integration between CommVault’s enterprise cloud computing-optimized Simpana® software and RackspaceCloud Hosting services. With CommVault’s integrated cloud storage connector for Simpana software, joint customers can use CommVault’s single console to move on-premise backup and archive data securely and reliably to Rackspace Cloud Files™, which provides online storage for files and media. The result gives customers the opportunity to reduce internal IT costs by moving infrequently accessed files and email data off expensive, tier-one storage to lower-cost cloud storage.

CommVault is further reducing costs while bolstering business continuity with Cloud DR, which offers a simple, economical way to perform full or partial recoveries of Windows and Linux archives and backup data stored in Rackspace Cloud Servers™. In lowering the barriers to entry for mid-market disaster recovery, CommVault helps its customers meet ever-increasing recovery time and recovery point objectives (RTO/RPO). In addition, the solution reduces reliance on costly and cumbersome on-premises and offsite tape management and can improve DR testing.
