Tinton Falls,\nN.J. \u2013 June 30, 2020 \u2013<\/strong> Commvault (NASDAQ:\nCVLT), a recognized global enterprise software leader in the management of data\nacross cloud and on-premises environments, today announced that it has entered\ninto a multi-year agreement with Microsoft that tightly integrates go-to-market,\nengineering and sales of Commvault\u2019s Metallic Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) data\nprotection portfolio with Microsoft Azure \u2013 delivering ultimate scale and\ntrusted security with simple SaaS management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Commvault and\nMicrosoft are bringing together two technologies \u2013 Azure and Metallic\nSaaS \u2013 to meet the need for proven data protection backed by powerful\nscale and multi-layered security. Metallic enhances protection of\nMicrosoft Office 365 data in the case of accidental deletion, corruption and\nmalicious attacks. Metallic also offers a range of additional options from\nVMware and Microsoft SQL database backup to Endpoint protection. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cToday\u2019s announcement combines two of the\nbest enterprise cloud technologies to simplify and accelerate a customer\u2019s\njourney to the cloud,\u201d said Sanjay Mirchandani, President and CEO, Commvault.\n\u201cThis is a new era for Commvault and our direction is clear \u2013 help our joint\nchannel partners and customers simplify IT with enterprise-class, proven data\nprotection solutions delivered through SaaS and protected in the cloud. The\ncombination of Commvault and Microsoft truly brings together the most\ninnovative data protection and cloud technologies the two companies have to\noffer.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This new phase of the collaboration builds on Commvault\u2019s longstanding\nuse of Azure capabilities including application and data migration, long-term\nretention and Azure Blob Storage for its scale, durability and security. The\nnew agreement includes plans to build a SaaS offering of Metallic Cloud Storage\non Azure Blob Storage and other deep product integrations with native Azure\nservices. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cCommvault\nand Microsoft have always delivered trusted technologies to our joint\ncustomers, and today\u2019s announcement takes our longstanding relationship to the\nnext level at a critical time for companies to adopt cloud and SaaS\ntechnologies,\u201d said Tad Brockway, Corporate Vice President Azure Storage. \u201cMetallic\nSaaS with Microsoft Azure delivers one of the industry\u2019s most powerful\nsolutions for storing and protecting business-critical data – in the cloud and\nbeyond.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ronald Dowden, IT Unit Director for Johns Hopkins\nUniversity, said: \u201cIt\u2019s clear to me that Commvault and Microsoft are committed\nto building increasingly-integrated solutions that meet the scale and scope of\nmy organization\u2019s needs and requirements in a hybrid world. Their innovations\nhave helped us address the challenges of moving almost five petabytes of data\nto the Azure cloud. We\u2019ve reduced our data center footprint and storage\nmanagement overhead all while protecting thousands of virtual servers,\napplications and projects across our institution. The agility, scalability\nand simple management inherent to cloud and SaaS solutions are definitely\nneeded as the pace of data growth shows no signs of slowing.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of\nMetallic\u2019s strengths is that it was built in the cloud, using the best of\nAzure\u2019s native capabilities while leveraging Commvault\u2019s market-leading enterprise\ntechnology \u2013 the same technology stack that large enterprises have entrusted to\nprotect their mission-critical apps and data. As part of the agreement, Metallic will be a featured app for SaaS data protection in the Azure Marketplace for public cloud\nand hybrid IT customers.
