Commvault data protection software now fully tested and validated to support AWS Outposts

Commvault announced on Thursday that Commvault software has been tested and validated to support AWS Outposts, which is a new, fully-managed service that extends Amazon Web Services (AWS) infrastructure, services, APIs and tools to virtually any data center, co-location space, or on-premises facility for a truly consistent hybrid cloud experience.

Many customers need to keep certain workloads on-premises while managing other workloads in the cloud. Commvault has robust and expansive support for the ever-growing number of diverse workloads rapidly migrating to AWS from other platforms and delivers the same look, feel and performance for data protection and management on-premises as it does in the cloud. 

As a complement to AWS Outposts, Commvault’s software provides a true single solution, not just a single interface, which creates cost efficiencies, provides simplicity and reduces risk.

Commvault is an Advanced Technology Partner in the AWS Partner Network (APN) and holds AWS Storage Competency status. Working with the AWS engineering team allows Commvault to offer integrated cloud storage solutions and support, giving customers the ability to migrate, backup and store data in the cloud. The depth and breadth of Commvault’s software with the wide array of storage services available from AWS allows customers to rest assured that their data is secure and available in the cloud. 

“Our tested and validated support for AWS Outposts allows our customers to leverage Commvault’s powerful cloud data protection and management capabilities on AWS,” said Karen Falcone, Vice President of Worldwide Cloud GTM, Commvault. “With the growth of cloud services and so many Commvault customers moving into AWS, we are helping organizations achieve the same level of data protection in the cloud as they did on-premises without the complexity and costs of installing and managing infrastructure.”

In October, Commvault announced product and experience enhancements to Commvault Activate, its data insights and governance solution that gives users greater visibility into their data, identifies opportunities for storage efficiencies and manages risk. Enhancements include the addition of file access controls for file storage optimization and new redaction functions with sensitive data governance.
