How we help you get strategic with your cloud
RATIONALIZE YOUR CLOUD STRATEGY Get to the cloud faster Operationalize disaster recovery in the cloud Get productive in the cloud Make the cloud an extension of your data center
A FAST, SMART CLOUD STRATEGY Backup to the cloud Sending on-premise production data to cloud storage Disaster recovery in the cloud Recovering productions workloads in the cloud Backup in the cloud Protecting workloads in the cloud and moving to an alternative location Test/Dev in the cloud Development in private/public cloud 16
Backup to The Cloud
WE HAVE SOLUTIONS THAT SET US APART Backup to the cloud The challenge: Fast, secure, efficient movement of data offsite to cloud storage The Commvault difference: #1 in cloud storage integrations (21+) Deep cloud compute support (AWS and Azure)
Backup to the Cloud Protecting data at the primary location by replicating the data over the network to an external cloud provider s storage solution Clients Local Storage Media Agent Encrypted REST / HTTP Cloud Storage Scenario / Suitability Offsite Storage / Tape Replacement Scenario no DR to the Cloud requirement, but can be extended if required Direct connectivity to Object Storage no translation/gateway/ hardware de-dupe devices needed Cloud/Object Storage target can be provided by either Public IaaS or a Service Provider (BaaS) Requirements Minimum 1x Media Agent On- Premise No VM in Cloud required for B&R 1x DDB hosted on On-Premise Media Agent Can use direct internet connection, or dedicated network to cloud provider for best performance (ie. AWS Direct Connect, Azure ExpressRoute, Google Direct Peering)
Disaster recovery in the cloud
WE HAVE SOLUTIONS THAT SET US APART Disaster recovery in the cloud The challenge: Complex in-cloud recoveries High cost of disaster recovery for Tier 2/3 workloads The Commvault difference: Automate and orchestrate in-cloud recovery of applications (for AWS and Azure)
Disaster Recovery in the Cloud Providing operational recovery of primary site applications to a secondary site from an external cloud provider Commvault Workflow Premise Based Clients MA Clients Automating DR Business Process Application recovery & testing Policy based VM provisioning Cross-platform Azure, AWS, or VMware Private to Public Physical to Virtual MA Encrypted Cloud Storage Local Storage
Disaster Recovery in the Cloud Providing operational recovery of primary site applications to a secondary site from an external cloud provider Scenario / Suitability Requirements Off-site Storage Requirement & Cold DR Site in the Cloud only use infrastructure when a DR event occurs, saving time & money (IaaS, DRaaS) Can utilize VM Provisioning to provision VMs prior to Restore Customer can opt to use VM Provisioning or their own tools for deployment of VMs in Cloud prior to restore Minimum 1x Media Agent On- Premise, and minimum 1x Media Agent in Cloud Add additional DDB(s) in cloud MA if you want to also drive same MA(s) for creating a Long Term Retention copy within the Cloud, from the Short-Term Retention copy Highly Recommended to use dedicated network to cloud provider for best performance (AWS Direct Connect, Azure ExpressRoute)
Protecting cloud workloads (Backup in the Cloud)
WE HAVE SOLUTIONS THAT SET US APART Backup in the cloud The challenge: Absent or undefined data protection strategy for cloud-based applications The Commvault difference: Deliver the same recovery SLAs to workloads in the cloud or on-premises
Protection in the Cloud Providing operational recovery active workloads and data within an external provider s cloud Single interface for on premise & public cloud assets Seamless, unified provisioning & management Complete data mobility Applications MA Cloud Object Storage Cloud Block Storage Premise Based Scenario / Suitability Data Protection for Cloudbased Workload protecting active workloads within an existing IaaS Cloud (Production, Dev/Test) (optional) DASH Copy to another Cloud, or to On- Premise complete data mobility replicate to another geographical region with IaaS provider, a different IaaS provider, or back to On- Premise sites Requirements Agents deployed in each VM within IaaS provider Minimum 1x Media Agent in Cloud, and (optional) minimum 1x Media Agent at secondary site (whether cloud or On- Premise) 1x DDB hosted on Media Agent Recommended to use dedicated network from cloud provider to on premise for best performance when replicating back to On-Premise
Cloud Operations
WE HAVE SOLUTIONS THAT SET US APART Cloud operations The challenge: Unexpected waste, cost and complexity in managing cloud resources The Commvault difference: Efficiently manage cloud resources across multiple platforms (AWS and Azure)

Tiered storage, Azure Compute (commvault.com) 15 years, Data Management & Protection DogFood & Microsoft Office Products Group 13 years, XBox & XBox-Live. A complex SQL example The past 2 years, Microsoft Azure (Global Foundation Services, Internal Standard)
Long history of working with Azure First Windows ISV to be Azure Certified First Windows ISV to have product available on Microsoft marketplace: https://azure.microsoft.com/enus/marketplace/partners/commvault/commvault/ Supported on Day-1: Geo-Replication (akin to aux copies within Azure) Express-Route (higher-speed connectivity) Import/Export (physically send drives to Azure datacenters) 33
Commvault Cloud Storage Library Native connection to the cloud setup in less than an hour Commvault Media Agent Cloud Storage Library Configuration Cloud library is a another target where Commvault can write data to via it s policy based engine Simple configuration, setup can be up in less than hour Can be configured as primary or secondary storage target Cloud Storage Library 21+ supported cloud targets Tuning ability to adjust performance Blob Storage 2 Clicks to the Cloud w/ Azure & Commvault https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8jqwfbosdcc
Protecting Active Workload in the Azure Cloud with Commvault Commvault Workflow Orchestration VM w/agents Continuous Replication Different Geo Continuous Data Replicator (CDR) CDR allows near time continuous data replication for critical workloads VMs will need a similarly sized Azure VM instance running in Azure to receive any replicated data Agent-In-Guest Used to protect a wide variety of OS s & applications Can be captured on the production workload and protected to the Media Agent residing in Azure can also be replicated to a MA residing in a different geo Azure Snapshots Allow for crash consistent point in time copy of an Azure disk
Key learnings Native cloud support will de-risk your next move. Choose a tool that allows broad vendor support for cloud storage. Bandwidth availability may mean you need to be selective. Choose a tool that allows you to move unique data only once. Avoid vendor lock in. Choose a tool that allows seamless movement of data across various platforms. Avoid gateway lock in. Cloud appliances make it easy but limit what you can do with your data.
