Making the cloud platform the most secure and stable against cyber threats is the top-priority element for any enterprise. As the resilience towards cyber threats stands low on the scale, the enterprises are finding ways to strengthen their cloud security and safeguard their data, enterprises are finding ways to optimize to their best. On the other hand, even vendors are failing to provide high levels of data protection for the massive cloud infrastructure. This is where Commvault Platform serves the purpose.
A leader in intelligent data protection services, supporting a wide range of workloads across multiple cloud options – Commvault backups, restores, archives and replicates the data. With the cloud simplicity and scalability feature, the software spins across cloud and on-premises environment, offering greater resilience. Let’s uncover how Commvault’s hyper security posture aligns with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure for enhanced cyber resilience.
What’s Commvault?
Commvault is a data management platform that comes with unique architecture that’s designed for the hybrid world with net zero trust security in every layer, immutability, AI-driven early alerts, automated risk scanning and much more. With Commvault’s software, the enterprises have greater control over data – from streamlining to protection, a huge decline in storage costs, greater visibility into data, maintaining the compliance, and proactively manage data migration to and from diverse cloud platforms.
Alongside, Commvault’s dice and spice features – deduplication, snapshot management, Disaster Recovery orchestration, data governance, and analytics are known for unmatched aspects for cyber resilience so that most of the hyperscalers can take advantage of.
Commvault + Oracle Cloud Infrastructure = Comprehensive Native Security
To experience the diligence of cloud services and data security, OCI and Commvault support a spectrum of hybrid and multicloud strategies. This is to enable enterprises with advanced data protection capabilities so that security wouldn’t be a major challenge for the increasing cyber attack vectors in near future. Here are the reasons on why Commvault on Oracle Cloud can be a potential DPaaS (Data Protection-as-a-service) for enterprises:
Integration with OCI Services: Commvault integrates with most of the Oracle Cloud services, enabling cloud-powered protection for enterprises with its comprehensive data management capabilities. It’s a science that’s worth implementing and scaling up your security.
Unified Data Management: Most of the hybrid cloud operations and data management within are head straining tasks for enterprises. In mastering the art of data management, it’s a unified solution that turns down complexity while streamlining entire data workflows.
Scalability: Meet the needs of expanding OCI deployments by remaining uncompromised on the performance and reliability of the duo, scaling the cloud and data management infrastructure at ease.
Data Protection and Security: OCI’s unparalleled security with Commvault is powerful as encryption, access controls, compliance requirements, etc., serves the security purpose for enterprises.
Optimized Performance: Look at how OCI environments meet the high performance and reliability for every data management operation that Commvault drives. Such optimization necessitates the organizations in aligning with SLAs while optimizing the performance of OCI environment by 1.5X to 3X.
Cost Efficiency: Reduce the total cost of ownership where the decline in storage costs lessens the data management overhead while fostering simplified administration. It’s a way to maximize most of your OCI investments.
Features of Commvault on OCI
Backup and Recovery: The resilient cloud backup and disaster recovery solutions of OCI and OCI SDDC for virtual machines, databases, file systems, and applications running on OCU instances are comprehensive, uplifting protection for critical data and cloud-native applications.
Efficient Data Protection: Deduplication, compression, and incremental backups are the approaches that elevate data protection and minimize storage requirements, reducing costs and enhancing backup performance within enterprises.
Disaster Recovery Orchestration: Offering disaster recovery orchestration capabilities for OCI environments and enabling organizations to implement robust disaster recovery strategies, it facilitates replication of data and applications between OCI regions or availability domains to ensure business continuity during unexpected disruptions.
Cloud Mobility and Migration: Migrate the workloads and data to OCI and OCI SDDC environments with ease, be it from different OCI regions or availability domains.
