These challenges compel 87% of the organizations polled to seek a solution that enables users to have secure access to company data from any device at any time, via intuitive search.
"Unabated data growth, rapid virtualization and an increasingly mobile workforce are outstripping the ability of companies to adequately safeguard their data using traditional processes or tools," said Robert Amatruda, research director of data-protection and recovery atIDC.
That's where CommVault'sSimpana 10 data management software platform comes in. It efficiently stores protected data in a virtual repository, called ContentStore, and simplifies the way users search, analyze and repurpose data across an enterprise. The repository paves the way for automated, content-based retention and integrates with third-party analytics and business intelligence applications.
Modern methods
Techniques to protect and recover critical applications such as hardware snapshots integrated with backup, could simplify administration, reduce infrastructure and accelerate virtualization and cloud adoption.
For example, Enhanced IntelliSnap snapshot management provides instant, automated recovery of applications and virtual servers. Simpana 10 adds support for Microsoft Windows Server 2012 with Hyper-V; enhancements to IBM DB2, Lotus Notes, SAP and Oracle integration; converged snapshot and backup policies that simplify operations; and snapshot cloning orchestration that speeds application testing, development and business analytics.
Tighter integration with Microsoft Hyper-V, VMware vSphere 5.1 and vCloud Director 5.1 helps enterprises achieve cloud-scale through automated discovery, protection and recovery in virtualized environments, claimed CommVault officials.
