CommVault Takes a Single Pass at the Big Data Management Problem
by Jerome M. Wendt
April 30, 2012
It's no secret that 'Big Data' is becoming a 'Big Problem' for organizations from a data and storage management perspective. However what organizations may fail to realize is that the best way to solve their Big Data problems is NOT by mindlessly throwing more resources at them. Rather it is to look at Big Data more strategically and then tackle the data management problems it creates in one fell swoop using software like CommVault® Simpana® and its OnePass technology.
CommVault Strengthens Its Case for being the Enterprise One-Stop-Shop for Managing Physical and Virtual Backup and Recovery
by Jerome M. Wendt
February 21, 2012
Today's defining characteristics of enterprise backup software are not whether they support VMware backups or use VMware's APIs for Data Protection (VADP). Those features should be a given. The new hallmarks of enterprise backup software are how well they manage physical and virtual environments from a single console and accelerate and simplify virtual machine (VM) restores. It is these enhancements that users will find natively included with CommVault® Simpana® 9.
CommVault Breaks Storage Array Snapshot Glass Ceiling with IntelliSnap Connect Program
by Jerome M. Wendt
January 24, 2012
Today there are more open system arrays with more features from more vendors from which organizations may choose. Yet what is emerging as an obstacle to organizations considering some of these arrays as viable options is their inability to leverage these snapshot capabilities. That obstacle may be short-lived thanks in part to the CommVault IntelliSnap Connect Program.
Archiving, Business Continuity and DR Should be Part of Every Organization's Cloud-based Backup Strategy
by Jerome M. Wendt
December 6, 2011
"The Cloud" is used in many contexts today though organizations most often associate it with "backup, business continuity, disaster recovery and archiving," in that order. This puts the onus on organizations to select a solution that does more than just "backup" and which is why they should look for cloud service providers (CSPs) that use CommVault® Simpana® software to meet these emerging cloud-based expectations.
CommVault VMware Channel Focus Program Puts SMBs on Road to Virtual Stability
by Jerome M. Wendt
August 29, 2011
The realization is starting to set in. Small and midsize businesses (SMBs) acknowledge that using VMware they can consolidate their server infrastructures, optimize their hardware resources and expedite the deployment of new applications. If is for this reason that CommVault is introducing a new reference architecture and VMware channel program to help SMBs accelerate and simplify the backup, management and recovery of data even as they deploy VMware in their environments.
NetApp CommVault OEM Relationship Harnesses the Power of Snapshots in Physical and Virtual Environments
by Jerome M. Wendt
May 31, 2011
Backup redesign continues to be one of the hottest topics among end users for three years running with blog entries on that topic on DCIG's website consistently being among the most read. The problem is that many backup redesign offerings turn out to be just a rehash of the way backup has always been done which is inadequate when it comes to protecting growing virtual server environments.
CommVault Simpana Brings Desktop/Laptop Protection to the Forefront in SP2
by Jerome M. Wendt
May 19, 2011
Desktop and laptop protection has been at most a blip on the radar screen of IT priorities. But with these devices increasingly being used to store more critical enterprise data, organizations are putting new emphasis on backing up data stored on these devices for reasons ranging from increasing productivity to corporate compliance and data security all the way to business intelligence.
Analyst Reports Reflect that Backup Software's Transition to Data Management is Under Way
by Jerome M. Wendt
February 16, 2011
When DCIG released its first ever Virtual Server Backup Software Buyer's Guide in December 2010, it created some controversy when it became public that CommVault® Simpana® had achieved the highest score and was ranked #1. But just over a month later when another analyst firm Gartner positioned CommVault in its "Leaders" Quadrant for Enterprise Disk-Based Backup/Recovery, the silence was deafening.
2011 IT Spending Intentions Survey Reveals Majority of CommVault Users Not Fretting Over New IT Demands
by Jerome M. Wendt
January 20, 2011
A little over a week ago CommVault released the results of a survey of Simpana users on their IT Storage Spending Intentions for 2011. As part of that, CommVault also created a PowerPoint (which I had the opportunity to review) that included more details than its accompanying press release. It was while going over that PowerPoint that I gained some additional insight as to why many of these organizations are able to hold the line on hiring and spending even as they look to introduce needed new features and functionality into their infrastructure.
CommVault Elaborates Upon Simpana 9's Enhanced Information Governance Capabilities
by Jerome M. Wendt
December 16, 2010
Back in October 2010, CommVault introduced Simpana 9 but did so in a two-fold manner. It first announced Simpana 9's core data management features on October 5. Then, a few weeks later on October 19, CommVault introduced Simpana 9's enhanced information governance capabilities. It was during this latter presentation that a number of statements were made by CommVault's Senior Director of Information Access Management, Simon Taylor, about Simpana 9's enhanced information governance capabilities that I asked him to elaborate upon.
CommVault® Simpana® 9 Ushers in New Era of Enterprise Data Management, Protection and Recovery
by Jerome M. Wendt
October 5, 2010
2011 is shaping up to be a point of demarcation for how enterprise data is managed and protected. But in making that claim I cannot point to any specific analyst study or market survey to support it. Rather it is my sense that enterprise organizations can no longer ignore or put off their need to better manage, protect and recover their data. So when I see new releases like today's CommVault® Simpana® 9 and the features that it has packed into it, I see it ushering in the new era of enterprise data management, protection and recovery that these enterprise organizations crave.
Automated Cloud Support for SMEs Now Part of the Total CommVault® Simpana® Experience
by Jerome M. Wendt
September 22, 2010
Even as interest by small and midsize enterprises (SME) in cloud computing and cloud storage continues to swell, the last thing any SME wants is a solution that introduces more complexity into its environment. Rather solutions are needed that automatically plug into the cloud and take advantage of the features that it offers.
The New Deduplication Debate: Where to Draw the Line on Deduplication
by Jerome M. Wendt
August 9, 2010
Not that many years ago the debate around how to best deduplicate data centered on inline versus post processing deduplication as data was archived or backed up. While that debate still simmers, a new one is brewing that was spurred in part by the recent announcement that Dell plans to acquire Ocarina Networks.
A Cloud is a Cloud is a Cloud: HDPS Powered by CommVault Steps up to Deliver a Singular Storage Cloud
by Jerome M. Wendt
June 29, 2010
Substantial technical differences exist between how the interfaces of storage clouds are presented, managed and secured. But from a business point of view, a cloud is a cloud is a cloud and the sooner that the technical challenges associated with managing these different storage clouds from a single platform are overcome, the sooner that businesses can ramp up their cloud storage adoption.
CommVault ROMS Extends Customer Satisfaction to Service and Support
by Jerome M. Wendt
June 3, 2010
Standing in the way of progress is the inability of organizations to cost-effectively provide the expertise and 24X7 coverage that this emerging backup infrastructure needs. It is this gap that the CommVault Remote Operations Management Service (ROMS) has been closing since its introduction in 2009.
CommVault Nails it on Service and Support
by Jerome M. Wendt
June 1, 2010
Too often storage providers seem to think that "Services and Support" is just another way of saying "Skimp and Save". However more customers are seeing through this thin veil of deceit and holding storage providers more accountable for how well they deliver on this critical infrastructure component by making services and support a part of their buying decision.
CommVault Users Poised to Benefit from Increased Clarity on Legal eDiscovery and Data Preservation Requirements
by Jerome M. Wendt
April 12, 2010
It is time for organizations to heed the calls to take a proactive position on data management and preservation. While the sirens have been wailing for a number of years about the risks of not putting in place a comprehensive data management solution, too many organizations have failed to heed these warnings. Now a recent landmark opinion has dramatically altered the data management and preservation landscape by making it a necessity for organizations to implement a comprehensive, singular data management solution like CommVault® Simpana®.
CommVault Simpana Software Provides New Tactical Snapshot Edge with Comprehensive Singular Management
by Jerome M. Wendt
March 24, 2010
Today IT managers have to think about more than just buying products that only solve their tactical day-to-day problems. Increasingly they have to consider how any new solution that they implement solves their more strategic data center management problems as well. This is why IT managers should be encouraged by the newly announced snapshot integration between CommVault® Simpana® software and Dell EqualLogic midrange arrays. While this integration solves their pressing backup and recovery problems, Simpana gives IT managers a path to better managing their data long term as well.
'Rip and Replace' becomes more than Acceptable when Used in the Context of ROI
by Jerome M. Wendt
February 24, 2010
In a recent analyst conference call CommVault's VP of Marketing and Business Development, Dave West, pulled no punches about how CommVault wants enterprise organizations to view it in regards to backup modernization. While CommVault is certainly happy to assist those enterprise organizations that want to make incremental changes to their backup infrastructures, that is not who CommVault is specifically targeting. Rather CommVault is seeking out those customers and prospects that are ready to do a wholesale rip and replace of their existing data management products and go with a more modern solution.
CommVault Takes another Step towards Bringing Cloud Storage Down to Earth
by Jerome M. Wendt
February 1, 2010
Just a few years ago disk-based backup was considered the cutting edge of backup. No more as cloud storage is now all the rage. However a cloud-based backup strategy that works or using cloud storage for archival data is still the exception, not the rule. This is why CommVault's announcement today regarding its new cloud storage connector merits attention for those organizations looking to make cloud storage a viable part of their corporate data management strategy.
CommVault Tames the Mac; Windows and Mac Can Play Nice Together
by Jerome M. Wendt
December 21, 2009
A few years ago when I suggested to my co-workers that our company needed to account for the continuing growth of the Apple MacIntosh in its enterprise storage design, I was met with outright guffaws and left the meeting with my tail between my legs. Fast forward to today and the Mac is no longer a laughing matter. Mac is now an emerging OS in many enterprise organizations and creating new data management issues that today's announcement between CommVault and Group Logic should help address.
CommVault Puts Database Archives on Enterprise Dashboards
by Jerome M. Wendt
December 14, 2009
Just how significant is today's announced technology partnership between CommVault and Informatica? Pretty big. The most obvious benefit that it provides to CommVault® Simpana® users is a new option that they can leverage to archive structured data while still managing and searching it using their Simpana software.
Psychic Abilities No Longer a Prerequisite When Searching Corporate Data Repositories
by Jerome M. Wendt
November 16, 2009
Google. Yahoo! Bing. These are the search engines that people most often turn to research and find information on the Internet. But the problem with these search engines is that they make some assumptions that one cannot make when searching for data behind corporate fire walls. More specifically, when it comes to finding information within an organization, people do not even know what they need to search for so individuals almost need to be psychic when beginning their searches for this information.
Manual Classification of Data is Still a Best Practice when Developing a Repeatable and Defensible Process
by Jerome M. Wendt
September 30, 2009
Smart managers always put a large emphasis on automating whatever processes they can within their organizations and for good reasons: processes become more predictable, there is a reduced chance of human error and ultimately the business is more successful. However businesses are finding out that it may not be in their best interest to automate data classification and that for now courts still prefer people to computers when it comes to performing this particular task.
As Organizations Bring on Cloud Storage CommVault Brings on the Data Management
by Jerome M. Wendt
September 10, 2009
More enterprise organizations are examining the possibilities of storing their data to a "cloud" and archive and backup data are heading the list of the two forms of data that they are most likely to store in the cloud. But managing these two types of data once they are in the cloud is anything but a straightforward process. Different archiving and backup software solutions create their own data silos with their own data management and retention policies. This situation can create new eDiscovery and legal hold challenges that organizations are ill-prepared to deal with.
