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
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

6. Rationalize your cloud strategy
We’re entering phase two of cloud adoption — essentially, the “rationalization” phase or the “operationalization” phase.
You want to get your data to the cloud quickly without compromising security. Commvault enables fast, secure and scalable movement of data off-site, and delivers secure enterprise controls for public/hybrid cloud.
You need cost-effective disaster recovery for workloads that can’t justify traditional DR. The cloud is the ideal infrastructure, but DR in the cloud is complex. Our solution enables you to control disaster recovery costs with seamless public cloud integration, cross-platform recovery, and automation of in-cloud recovery workflows.
You have to move your workloads to the cloud faster. Our cloud migration capabilities help you streamline and automate the migration of on-prem workloads, greatly accelerating your time to value.
And finally, you want to avoid getting locked in to a single cloud infrastructure provider to maintain cost-effectiveness and agility for your business. Commvault enables the workload portability you need to eliminate cloud vendor lock-in.
Let’s take a closer look at each element of a rationalized cloud strategy.

7. Move your data to and from the cloud
Get to the cloud faster.
This has been the theme of the previous wave of cloud adoption, and it isn’t going away. Customers still need to know that solutions they deploy are going to have cloud capabilities built in natively.
Cloud capabilities are built in to our solution natively for both cloud storage and cloud compute use cases.
Commvault supports more cloud platforms than any other major vendor. This includes native support for 21 different cloud storage targets (the most cloud storage connectors in the industry), and integrated management of AWS and Azure compute instances.
Commvault delivers a “best fit” approach to including a cloud platform in the overall data protection strategy. Competing vendors deliver a one-size-fits-all solution, forcing customers into a single technology or approach. This leads to added costs, added risk and added complexity. Customers should care about the application SLAs, not the underlying technology
Backup, archive & replication
Portability to move out of the cloud
On premises recovery and data management
Automated recovery in the cloud
Enterprise Cloud Backup
Unify backup, recovery and archive operations across on-premises to cloud
Provide native cloud storage integration for any workload for backup or archive

8. Execute disaster recovery in the cloud
Operationalize disaster recovery in the cloud.
Cloud storage platforms have been an attractive place to implement disaster recovery for several years — however, to date, most of the time that just means using cloud storage as an off-site storage target — the implication here being that, once data is sent off-site to the cloud for disaster recovery, more work is needed to actually make that data readily recoverable in the event of a disaster. This means scripts, and manual administration and intervention, which results in an inability to meet critical recovery SLAs, putting the business is at risk. When a true disaster occurs, many business may find their DR solution, at best, takes longer than they expected to work and, at worst, is not recoverable in the way they thought.
A truly automated end-to-end solution is needed.
This is a key area that customers are investing in today, to address in the name of “operationalizing their cloud strategy.” Rather than simply dumping data wholesale into the cloud and hoping for the best, customers are taking a hard look at what applications and data go into the cloud, and how they will be recovered when needed.
This is what Commvault Cloud Disaster Recovery enables. We’re combining several key elements in a way no other vendor can deliver.
