CommVault and Dell offer new solution

This offering is built on the new Dell PowerVault DL2000, an installable, integrated software and hardware solution powered by the CommVault Simpana 7.0 software.

It provides a disk-to-disk based solution to help customers implement and leverage a data management strategy.

“This latest CommVault integration into the long-awaited addition for Dell customers further emphasises CommVault’s close partnership with Dell and our commitment to providing holistic data management solutions,” said Dave West, vice president of marketing and business development, CommVault.

“We are honoured that Dell saw Simpana 7.0 as a natural fit for its new product line-up. Now, Dell and CommVault customers can deploy and manage disk-based backup quickly for immediate and positive impact to their business and IT operations,” he added.

Dell claims the DL2000 lowers the cost and complexity for companies looking to increase the speed and reliability of their backups, reduce their storage footprint and centralise the protection of remote sites.

Its features include: built-in de-duplication which eliminates redundant copies including files, emails and documents and back-up policies for system monitoring and maintenance for local or remote physical or virtual servers.

The solution can also accelerate the upgrade of Windows, Exchange and SharePoint and comes with archive and replication features.
