Introduction
Commvault HyperScale is a modern, scale-out data protection solution that simplifies backup and recovery by integrating compute, storage, and software into a single platform. The OpsRamp integration enables discovery and monitoring of key Commvault HyperScale components, delivering real-time visibility and proactive alerting for optimal backup performance.
Commvault HyperScale combines core data protection components like CommServe, Media Agents, and storage into a single, hyper-converged appliance. It is designed for scale-out deployments, high availability, and performance optimization.
Key Capabilities
- Scale-Out Architecture: Expand capacity and performance by adding nodes—no need for external, centralized storage.
- Integrated Solution: Delivers a unified appliance that reduces infrastructure complexity.
- High Availability: Built-in redundancy and data distribution prevent single points of failure.
- Simplified Management: Centralized control of backup, recovery, and storage with minimal administrative overhead.
- Optimized Performance: Uses local storage to accelerate backup and restore operations.
- Hybrid Cloud Support: Enables seamless data movement between on-premises and cloud environments.
Benefits
- Scalable: Easily adapt to growing data volumes by adding nodes.
- Cost-Efficient: Reduces the need for expensive external storage systems.
- Resilient: Maintains data protection during hardware failures.
- Flexible: Supports diverse environments and workloads.
Commvault Deployment Models
Feature | Traditional Commvault | Commvault HyperScale |
---|---|---|
Architecture | Centralized | Distributed (Scale-out) |
Storage | External (SAN/NAS/Cloud) | Built-in, distributed storage |
Scalability | Vertical (add storage/agents) | Horizontal (add nodes) |
Deployment Model | Traditional infrastructure | Hyper-converged appliance |
Performance | Dependent on external storage | Optimized for distributed workloads |
Management | Separate components | Unified, integrated solution |
Key Use Cases
