Data management software developer CommVault has teamed with scalable storage platform provider Nimble Storage to provide SMBs with “more flexibility in protecting, managing, and accessing their data.”
According to a CommVault press release submitted to Channel Pro-SMB, the companies have integrated Nimble’s CS-Series arrays with CommVault’s Simpana snapshot management software as part of CommVault’s IntelliSnap Connect Program.
“With the CommVault partnership, Nimble customers can leverage the efficiency and performance of hardware-based snapshots as well as benefit from the rich management feature set of the Simpana software,” says Nimble Storage CEO Suresh Vasudevan.
As an IntelliSnap Connect partner, Nimble Storage gains access to CommVault’s snapshot management APIs, enabling SMB customers to extend their SANs and accelerate backup and recovery performance, reducing operational complexity and minimizing risk.
Together, CommVault IntelliSnap technology and Nimble Storage CS-series storage arrays provide seamless data protection for SMBs, simplifying data recovery and eliminating the need for resource-intensive backups and complex scripting.
Simpana software’s built-in application intelligence enables SMB customers to quickly recover data at a granular level, such as individual files and emails or entire applications. The solution scales easily to support thousands of snapshots and integrates application-aware protection and data de-duplication for a range of hypervisors, operating systems, and applications, including VMware, Microsoft Exchange, SharePoint, SQL Server, Microsoft, Oracle, IBM, and SAP databases and Windows, Linux, and Unix file systems.
The combined CommVault and Nimble Storage offering is available to customers effective immediately.
