Software With the Speed of Native SnapshotsThe amount of data under management continues to accelerate every year. Growth matched by increased uptime requirements for business-critical applications has forced IT organizations to seek modern methods to achieve seemingly unobtainable service level agreements (SLAs) for data availability and recovery. Higher SLAs drive the need for more recovery points with fast disk-based recovery techniques to mitigate data loss and reduce downtime. To that end, users are turning to storage-array-based snapshot technologies, which combine creating frequent recovery points for rapid access and recovery with minimal production disruption. However, snapshot technology and management can vary by storage platform and often requires extensive scripting, monitoring and maintenance for individual applications. This can result in more complexity if an organization has snapshot capable storage arrays from several vendors that need to integrate into the protection methodologies. The resulting backup copies are often difficult to track, manage and move to secondary tiers for long-term retention or disaster recovery.
CommVault has introduced an innovative software solution that takes advantage of various snapshot technologies to address the problem of exponential data growth impacting backup and recovery requirements. CommVault® Simpana® SnapProtect™ integrates with native storage array snapshot technology to provide consistent point-in-time recovery copies for large data sets, including enterprise applications. It enables you to make and keep more online and offline copies of these datasets, which offers better data protection, facilitates rapid recovery and minimizes disruption to production systems.
