Solving your database

backup and recovery problems
with Commvault
Accelerate recovery, increase performance, and easily migrate data to the cloud

Overview
With the wide array of databases currently deployed in the market, you need a unified approach to protecting and managing the
entire database environment that enables you to migrate workloads to the cloud faster, backup your databases more efficiently,
and streamline data access, all while supporting copy data management capabilities.
Commvault Complete™ Backup & Recovery and Commvault Orchestrate™ make it easy with support for a wide range of databases,
including Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, SAP, MySQL, IBM DB2, PostgreSQL, Informix, and Sybase, as well as protection for
distributed applications including MongoDB, Cassandra, Greenplum, Hadoop, and IBM Spectrum Scale.

Common database challenges

You’re likely encountering some of the following challenges in your current database environment:
• Lack of centralized visibility across your entire enterprise database environment.
• Lack of integration with database vendor native backup tools, which inhibits efficiency.
• Database bloat that leads to slower backup performance from backing up inactive data over and over.
• Slow and inefficient process for obtaining copies of production data for dev/test purposes.
• Slower network performance from transferring large database files over the wire or to the cloud.

Solution
Commvault aids you in overcoming these challenges, with a comprehensive approach to database backup and recovery that
provides you the following benefits:
One solution for all your data. Protect all your important data, wherever it lives, with a unified approach to data access,
administration and policy management.

Deep integration. Robust integration with vendors’ native tools enables greater self-service, increases efficiency, and
provides peace of mind.

No more database bloat. Keep your primary production storage lean through archiving by automatically moving data to
less expensive storage based on user-defined policies.

Accelerated dev/test cycles. Provision virtualized copies of the latest production data automatically within minutes
instead of hours using copy data management.

Improved performance and efficiency. Global deduplication eliminates redundant data at the source, shrinking data
volumes for more efficient movement between on-premises and cloud deployments.

Full data lifecycle coverage. Manage your data across its full lifecycle: from dev/test to production to archiving
and retirement.

Highlights
Enterprise support for cloud solutions. Commvault software provides a more efficient and cost-effective way to move your
workloads to the cloud and protect them once they’re there.
• Migrate. Move on-premises workloads to the cloud quickly with native cloud support.
• Automate. Link business processes to workloads easily with customizable orchestration and automated workflows.
• Protect. Apply deduplication, compression and encryption to all applications and data, in transit and at rest.
You can automatically create virtual machine compute instances with all the appropriate resources, including storage and
software, as part of a single migration workflow to accelerate your move to the cloud. Because data can be migrated directly
to these virtual instances, the cloud becomes an extension of your physical data center — helping you cut storage and data
management costs.
