Thanks to data explosion, enhanced performance requirements and materialization of hybrid environments, the need for game-changing storage solutions is evident in the enterprise world more than ever.

To address this pressing issue, Commvault Systems Inc. combines its robust data protection and management capabilities with the scalability, flexibility and cost-efficiency of Amazon Web Services Inc.’s cloud infrastructure, according to Poojan Kumar (pictured, right), chief product innovation officer of Commvault.

Commvault’s Poojan Kumar and AWS’ Paul Meighan talk to theCUBE about the need for cutting-edge storage solutions.

“Commvault and AWS go a long way,” he said. “Commvault has been a premier platform for cyber resilience. Now with Clumio, we are always completely focused on AWS and we have gone really deep on building our resilience for AWS technologies with S3 and Dynamo and other services that we supported. We have the depth that we had built with Clumio and the breadth Commvault already had. It’s a fantastic story together.” 

Kumar and Paul Meighan (left), director of product management at AWS, spoke with theCUBE Research’s John Furrier for theCUBE’s “Cloud AWS re:Invent Coverage,” during an exclusive broadcast on theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media’s livestreaming studio. They discussed how Commvault and AWS are revamping storage solutions.

How Clumio fits into the storage solutions picture

Through the Clumio acquisition, Commvault’s position in safeguarding cloud-native applications and data was enhanced. As a result, this strategic move was a stepping stone toward boosting storage solutions, Meighan pointed out.

“With Clumio, I’ve been working with Poojan and his team for a long time, and they’re just really great operators in the cloud,” he said. “I think that that’s really paying off now as you see more and more mission-critical workloads coming into the cloud out of on-prem. Clumio, Commvault now, is just in an excellent position to protect that stuff with enterprise-grade protection.” 

As an advanced recovery tool designed for Amazon S3 storage environments, the Clumio Backtrack feature provides near-instantaneous recovery of data at scale, addressing accidental deletions, cyberattacks or data corruption. This innovative tool is centered at enhancing cyber resilience and cloud data protection, according to Kumar.

“With S3 backup, we launched this service,” he said. “We’ll basically go and deliver a cyber resilience and backup solution for Amazon S3 on Amazon with AirGap service. We have a cloud-first cloud resiliency story with Clumio Backtrack and the Clumio solution in general and Cloud Rewind — all of these things coming together, we are very focused on a cloud-first world.”
