Instantly recover with rapid backups and restores, at a cost comparable to hard drive economics. Get the performance needed to drive data insights and analytics. The VAST Data Platform and Commvault’s Complete Data Protection platform deliver flash-optimized data protection for the modern enterprise.

Overview

Backup, restore, and recovery at the speed of flash.

By applying new thinking to decades-old storage problems, VAST has broken the long-standing tradeoff between performance and the cost of capacity to make affordable flash restores possible. The VAST Data Platform bucks the traditional model of purpose-built backup appliances (PBBA) that deduplicate data across spinning disks and are not designed for fast data recovery. Combining VAST's all-flash solution with Commvault’s Complete Data Protection platform enables organizations to instantly recover from any data loss scenario, including ransomware attacks, at a cost comparable to hard drive economics.

VAST combines QLC flash, revolutionary data reduction, and highly efficient erasure codes to bring flash to price points suitable for backup, allowing customers to combine Commvault’s backup orchestration and data management engine with VAST’s unified all-flash file and object storage platform. VAST and Commvault deliver complementary data reduction capabilities to further drive optimal enterprise performance, efficiency, and TCO. Together, Commvault and VAST offer an all-flash scale-out architecture that can meet stringent recovery time objectives (RTOs) by providing rapid restore performance at a cost 40 percent lower than legacy PBBAs such as Dell EMC PowerProtect DD.

VAST Data Platform + Commvault: Better Together

For the first time in 20 years, VAST Data has introduced a new type of distributed system architecture. VAST's Disaggregated and Shared Everything (DASE) storage system was built from the ground up to eliminate the tradeoffs imposed by legacy scale-out architectures. The VAST Data Platform was engineered to deliver the performance and I/O parallelism of SAN storage while providing the simplicity and elasticity of NAS, while making all-flash infrastructure affordable enough that you never need to think about storage tiering again.

Unprecedented Data Efficiency

VAST's industry-leading Similarity-Based data reduction coupled with Commvault Complete's data protection tools achieves unprecedented efficiency, reducing all-flash storage costs to HDD-levels.

Data Insights

Users gain key data insights and analytics via VAST’s integration with Commvault’s Intelligent Data Services Platform, including e-discovery and audits of sensitive data and anomaly detection to mitigate future threats.

Indestructible Snapshots

The Indestructible Snapshots feature in the VAST Data Platform helps companies safeguard data by preventing critical backup copies and snapshots from being altered or destroyed by nefarious actors that are inside or outside of the organization.
