Commvault has expanded its Commvault Flex partner ecosystem, which now includes Hitachi Vantara and NetApp. Designed for organizations with very large and dynamic data sets, Commvault Flex, formerly HyperScale Flex, offers targeted data protection and resiliency with a flexible architecture that connects to high-performance external flash storage pools.
Demand for AI-ready data center capacity is expected to increase at an average rate of 33% annually as more organizations use AI for their mission-critical applications. This explosion of AI-generated data is driving a pressing need for resilient, flexible solutions that can scale performance and capacity independently of traditional compute and storage. In turn, this can help organizations scale recovery of critical systems, avoid overprovisioning, reduce costs, and meet strict service level agreements.
Building on the existing Commvault Flex ecosystem with Everpure, HPE, and VAST Data, this expanded ecosystem with Hitachi Vantara and NetApp offers enterprises greater flexibility and confidence to meet cyber recovery performance goals while maintaining consistency with their preferred storage vendors. Commvault Flex models are delivered as a software image that can be easily installed on validated server hardware and connected to storage hardware from these partners.
“Many organizations need solutions that provide uninterrupted access to data systems, meet the capacity requirements of large AI data sets, and meet performance requirements for resilience and recovery,” said Pranay Ahlawat, chief technology and AI officer at Commvault. “Commvault Flex, together with Hitachi Vantara, NetApp and other partners, enables customers to scale their flash storage solutions to meet the demands of multi-petabyte performance.”
