The holiday season is now officially upon us, and to keep with the spirit of giving we wanted to give you all another reason to be excited about our upcoming December product release.  Across industries, customers are always looking for ways to leverage cloud for the agility, simplicity and scale that it can provide. In that vein, our ecosystem partners are always looking for ways they can enhance and differentiate the hybrid cloud experience. Established industry leaders Amazon Web Services (AWS) and NetApp have collaborated on a cloud-native storage solution that provides the data accessibility and management benefits of on-premises NetApp storage married with the simplicity, predictability, and ease of a fully managed AWS service. This fantastic combination – Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP — not only gives existing NetApp customers an easier way to extend their on-premises deployments into the cloud, but also provides AWS customers the ability to architect modern, differentiated cloud applications that provide fast, consistent user experiences.

Commvault prides itself on being the essential layer that simplifies how our customers’ data is moved and used between cloud and on-premises environments and ensuring it is protected through the entire process. In this case, we’ve tapped into the strong relationships and many years of collaboration and innovation with both AWS and NetApp and we’re delivering support for Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP with Commvault Platform Release 2023. With this newly announced support, we’ll be providing customers the ability to:

• Migrate workloads to AWS seamlessly by using Commvault to orchestrate the creation and replication of your on-premises NetApp ONTAP storage volumes to Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP.
• Protect your new modern apps in AWS that leverage high-performance NetApp storage, management, and QoS controls. Commvault snapshot, SnapVault, and SnapMirror integration provide accelerated, automation protection for your Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP workloads.
• Simplify business continuity and meet SLAs by adopting a snapshot backup, SnapVault replicated-backup, and SnapMirror mirrored-backup approach to recovering your applications in place or remote Regions.

Speaking of our fantastic collaboration with AWS, we’re in Las Vegas sponsoring AWS re:Invent right now!  That means you’ve got an opportunity to come and talk to us in person about our newly announced support for Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP, our deep integration and collaboration with AWS, or how you can get started with Commvault on AWS Marketplace today.  Here’s how you can get involved and learn more:

• Come visit us at re:Invent 2022 at the Venetian Expo Halls.? We’re at Booth #1940 from Monday evening to Thursday afternoon. I will be personally floating around each day, so stop by and say ‘Hi’ and talk to me about your organizations’ toughest data challenges.
• Register for a private meeting or for one of our after-hours receptions or keynote watch parties in our hospitality suite.
• We’ll be presenting about Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP and our joint NetApp solutions in NetApp’s sponsor booth (Booth #2404) at the following dates/times:
• Tuesday, November 29^th at 1 PM PST

The holiday festivities don’t end here in Vegas – we’ll be teaming up with our friends at AWS and NetApp once again for an amazing virtual holiday event where we’ll talk hybrid cloud data management and Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP, all while having a little bit of fun with Lego Master Tyler Clites.

If you missed us at AWS re:Invent – or if you just want to grab one of the great holiday-themed Lego kits – you can register for that event here.

It truly is the most wonderful time of the year – and we’re extremely excited about sponsoring and participating in AWS re: Invent, one of the biggest tech events of the year. We hope you’ll join us in Las Vegas to learn a little bit more about our solutions and to have a little bit of fun in the process. We’re also very excited and thankful for our ongoing collaboration with both AWS and NetApp, and we’re looking forward to where these partnerships will lead – for our joint customers and their valued data – in 2023 and beyond.
