Abstract
In the era of data-driven enterprises, the combination of Lenovo ThinkSystem HS350X V3 storage server and Commvault Cloud Hyperscale X software offers a robust, scalable solution for organizations seeking to elevate their cyber resilience and data security capabilities. This solution brief provides an overview of the key features and benefits of integrating Commvault's innovative Hyperscale X software with Lenovo's innovative storage server platform.
Commvault Cloud Hyperscale X
Commvault, a global leader in cyber resilience solutions, offers a unified approach to data protection, recoverability, and security. HyperScale X is an intuitive and easy-to-deploy integrated solution with a distributed scale-out file system that provides unmatched scalability, security, and resilience. Its flexible architecture allows you to get up and running quickly and grow as your needs demand. Benefits include:
- Simple, flexible protection and accelerated recoverability for all workloads, on-premises or in the cloud, including containers, virtual, and databases.
- Enhanced, multi-layered ransomware protection with AI-driven anomaly detection to uncover threats faster and immutable storage to prevent critical data from being encrypted, modified, or deleted.
- Optimized scalability to easily grow capacity in single-node increments as needed.
- Advanced storage efficiency and resilience with intelligent load balancing of data across disks and nodes and the ability to support concurrent hardware failures.
- Cost-optimized cloud data mobility with native integration to move data to, from, and between clouds, avoiding vendor lock-in.
By shifting the secondary storage and data management infrastructure to a scale-out architecture, enterprises can help transform their data centers to be as operationally efficient, resilient, and scalable as public cloud infrastructure. HyperScale X allows organizations to replace limited and legacy backup tools with a modern hybrid-cloud-enabled data management solution that eliminates expensive forklift upgrades.
