Commvault and Microsoft Cloud Solutions Executive Summary
Executive Summary
Customer needs summary:
•
Exponential data growth has forced IT departments to become wiser on what they store and to choose costeffective target storage
•
Reduced data center footprint is being considered to free up capital and operational resources
•
More reliable, faster remote disaster recovery required for better business continuity
Solution summary
•
A single solution to: move data to and from the cloud, execute disaster recovery in the cloud, migrate workloads to
the cloud, reduce vendor lock-in, and gain awareness, insight, and control of data
•
A single solution for: eDiscovery with powerful search and case management features
Benefits to the customer:
•
Reduce storage costs by eliminating additional infrastructure components to move data to Microsoft Azure.
•
Use a single solution to backup and restore both to and in the cloud—including on premises Microsoft Hyper-V and
VMware virtual machines as well as off-premises Amazon Web Services (AWS) virtual machines.
•
Simplify file searching across Microsoft applications—on disk, on tape or in the Cloud

PAIN: LACK OF CONTROL AND INSIGHT
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Data is siloed, opaque and inaccessible as a whole
Analysis of data is either slow or incomplete
Data insights only available a slice at a time
Different standards for different environments
Unable to support a multi cloud strategy
Lack of centralized governance and control
Increased security and data loss risks
PAIN: INCONSISTENT BACKUP AND RECOVERY
PAIN: DATA MIGRATION CHALLENGES
Too many siloed solutions
Too many siloed storage repositories
Different processes and standards based on environment
Inconsistent recovery times across IT environments
SLA uncertainty after migrating workloads to new
infrastructure
• Reduced ability to respond to data loss or breach
• Migrating services or platforms is tedious and
complex
• Expensive in terms of time and capital
• Long ramp times
• Slowed return on new technologies or innovations
• Strategy lock-in
