Follow UsBANGALORE, INDIA: Quantum Corp., data protection and big data management company, today announced it is extending its object storage offerings by joining with CommVault to provide a unique solution for converged backup and archive in the data center.
Based on Quantum' Lattus object storage technology and CommVault Simpana 10 software, the validated solution enables a comprehensive data protection and archive strategy, said a press release.
The release further added that, Quantum Lattus provides nearline access to archived data across global locations in a highly scalable and cost-effective disk-based solution that never requires a "forklift" upgrade - a forever disk archive.
CommVault Simpana unifies backup, archive, reporting and disaster recovery (DR) on a single software platform, providing a converged data management solution to control cost and risk.
With the combination of Quantum Lattus-D and CommVault Simpana, enterprises can now store a single instance of archive data on Lattus and be confident that it is retained in a manner that can exceed the protection offered by traditional redundant copy data protection schemes. Customers can also benefit from low-latency access delivered on a global scale.
Bringing cloud-based object storage to the data center
Lattus-D capitalizes on Simpana's comprehensive backup, archive and DR management capabilities, easily integrating with Simpana via an S3 REST interface. In turn, Simpana software leverages the native Lattus REST API to offer cloud archive technology for petabyte-scale environments and simple, automated data movement and management. As a result, data center customers can realize the benefits of private cloud storage.
Quantum also recently established the Lattus Demo Lab, located inside Switch's state of the art SUPERNAP data centers and available for use today. With today's announcement customers will now be able to leverage Lattus within the SUPERNAP data centers as a cloud-based component of their data protection strategy.
Jeff Echols, senior director, Worldwide Product Marketing and Business Development, CommVault, said: "Enterprises are turning to modern data management strategies to help ensure their data is always available on the most efficient storage and improve their ability to respond to business needs."
"CommVault's Simpana 10 software platform increases the value of information by intelligently archiving data and allowing IT and end-users alike to repurpose it in innovative ways. Lattus-D offers an excellent self-protecting container for archive data, and together Lattus and Simpana 10 create an ideal combination to economically protect data that might otherwise be kept on primary disk," added Echols.
