“With these new capabilities we are making it easier for our customers to move more workloads into the cloud and offering greater simplicity and flexibility in managing and protecting their data, wherever it resides,” said Ranga Rajagopalan Vice President of Product Management at Commvault.

It includes new support for the backup and recovery of AWS databases, migration of Oracle and MS SQL databases across multiple clouds such as AWS, Microsoft Azure, and the Alibaba Cloud Elastic Compute Service (ECS), and ServiceNow integration.

“In these challenging times it is important that organizations have flexibility when it comes to managing their data, and the cloud is a critical part of that,” said Ranga Rajagopalan Vice President of Product Management at Commvault. “With these new capabilities we are making it easier for our customers to move more workloads into the cloud and offering greater simplicity and flexibility in managing and protecting their data, wherever it resides.”

Shifting and Managing Workloads in the Cloud

As customers shift more workloads into the cloud, they would require the ability to move and manage data on a variety of cloud platforms. With Commvault’s announcement, the company has expanded its cloud capabilities by:

  • Enabling customers to back up, recover, and migrate AWS DynamoDB, Redshift, and DocumentDB database solutions.
  • Allowing customers to convert, back up, and migrate VMware workloads to the Alibaba Cloud ECS to increase the flexibility of their hybrid multi-cloud environments.
  • Supporting the migration of Oracle and Microsoft SQL database applications to Microsoft Azure, expanding customers’ ability to integrate Azure cloud services into hybrid environments.
  • Further integrating with the ServiceNow platform to enable self-service. This deep integration allows Commvault customers to back up, recover, and migrate file systems, VMs, Microsoft SQL Server workloads and other ServiceNow catalog assets, all within the ServiceNow SaaS platform.
  • Offering the ability to “quickly” convert Oracle Unix databases to Linux and vice versa. This new capability would make it easier for customers to migrate on-premises Unix Oracle databases to the cloud, or cloud Linux Oracle databases to on-premises infrastructure, all without needing an Oracle enterprise license.

Commvault software, solutions and services are available from the company and through a global ecosystem of trusted partners. The company employs more than 2,300 people across markets worldwide, is publicly traded on NASDAQ (CVLT), and is headquartered in Tinton Falls, New Jersey in the United States.
