By combining Commvault’s data protection software suite with the scale and performance of the VAST Data Platform, the partnership aims to provide a robust and highly scalable solution that helps enterprises recover quickly from data loss events like ransomware attacks.

The collaboration between VAST Data and Commvault will offer differentiated capabilities to enhance data security, compliance, detection, monitoring, and recoverability. Some of the key features include rapid restores, leveraging VAST’s all-flash read performance to optimize instant recovery; continuous operations, allowing critical applications and workloads to return to normal operations instantly; reduced threats through advanced security features; and flexible economics with consumption models that suit the customers’ needs.

The partnership has already shown promising results, with companies like Expedient benefiting from the joint solution and delivering industry-leading service level agreements to their own customers.
