The Business Challenge

Service Providers have unique needs and challenges. Supporting multi-tenant environments, preserving revenue streams, and meeting customer demands are just a few of these. Cobbling together multiple point products to deliver these services or to scale the business makes these challenges even harder. Wouldn't it be nice if there was a single data management solution that covered all data management needs and was tailored to meet the needs of a service provider?

An Efficient Platform for an Efficient Business

CommVault software's truly unified, or "singular," architecture performs all data management functions quickly, easily, and reliably from a single console. It is the key component that allows Service Providers to reduce costs and increase revenues by providing multiple offerings to customers while leveraging one software platform. In addition, Service Providers that run CommVault Simpana® software can reassure their customers that their data is being protected by an award-winning, enterprise-class data management platform.

Managed Archive

Fairline Archive to the Cloud

As data volumes continue to increase, many companies find themselves bumping up against the capacity, cooling or power limitations of their existing data centers. Meanwhile, regulations require many businesses to keep ever-growing amounts of data for compliance purposes. This three-way balancing act between capacity, compliance and cost requires a flexible approach to data management that requires a multi-tier approach that extends to cloud-based storage. Stale data can be found throughout the enterprise — from the central data center to the remote offices worldwide. By some estimates, almost 50 percent of unstructured data is stale, meaning it hasn't been accessed in over a year.

  • Decrease the dependency on expensive primary storage and shrink backup windows by archiving stale data to the cloud
  • Securely transmit and store archived data in the cloud using encryption
  • Define data aging policies and move infrequently accessed data to the cloud.
  • The end result is a significant reduction in TCO of purchasing and managing storage.

CommVault Simpana software enables you to take advantage of Farline storage for storing stale data, unlocking benefits that cross different storage tiers:

  • Archiving stale data frees up valuable capacity on your production storage tiers, allowing you to extend the useful life of your existing storage, and minimize the need for incremental purchases
  • Reduce the size of your backup datasets and backup windows by eliminating the need to backup infrequently accessed data

Managed Email for eDiscovery and Compliance

CommVault Service Providers leverage Simpana software to provide their customers full managed email and e-discovery offerings which provide the following benefits:

  • Reclaim primary storage, manage data retention and address Information Governance needs.
  • Eliminate 90% of redundant data with integrated global deduplication and compression, saving on network, media and storage costs.
  • Provide visibility with non-intrusive data collection from physical and virtual environments with integrated Storage Resource Management (SRM).
  • Enforce retention and disposition policies to meet policy requirements and reduce risk.
  • Enable a proactive and legally defensible information management strategy from a common interface.
  • Allow seamless migration of archived data into public or private clouds.

Remote Office Protection

  • Automatic, secure and reliable data protection for all of your servers and PCs in all locations
  • Powerful client-based deduplication technology to ensure bandwidth efficient data transfers
  • Standard 128-bit AES encryption to prevent unauthorized access to data
  • Standard retention policies to enable you to quickly start protecting your data

For many businesses, protecting data that resides outside of the Data Center is an imperative. The question becomes, how? Service Providers have the unique ability to offer businesses remote office protection by:

  1. Offering cloud-based storage as a viable option. Instead of migrating data to the Data Center first and then the cloud, data from remote offices can be backed up directly to cloud-based storage. As data ages past retention guidelines, it can be automatically deleted in the cloud, thereby creating ongoing savings in capacity utilization charges.
  2. Providing software to replicate remote office data to the Service Provider data center and protecting it from there. Service Providers can also offer the full data management solution, bringing remote office data back to the data center for managed backup services.

Edge Data Protection Offering

Service Providers running CommVault software can offer their customers a robust Edge Data Protection solution all under the single platform they use for managed backup and archive leveraging the same best in class deduplication, reporting, e-discovery, security controls and auditing built into the platform. Benefits of leveraging Simpana software for your customers include:

  • Improve Resource Utilization - Protecting edge data can be challenging because of WAN limitations and end-user constraints. Source-side deduplication technology, coupled with intelligent backup scheduling, dramatically improves the ability to protect distributed data with existing network resources.
  • Reduce Management Costs - Service Provider Administrators can deploy, setup, and manage large-scale distributed data environments more easily than ever. New installation policies automate silent deployment and installation.
  • Restore End-user Data Quickly - Service Provider Administrators can easily provide full system restores using centrally-located backup data. End-users can find and restore files from any backup on any client they are authorized to access.
  • Transfer Data Securely - A VPN is not required for secure data transport when using the Simpana Edge Data Protection solution. Full encryption at all stages and HTTPS can be used together instead of a VPN for strong security that is cost effective and easy to manage.
  • E-Discovery - CommVault Simpana software's eDiscovery capabilities work seamlessly across any platform to reduce cost, improve data access, and increase operational efficiency.
