Enterprise Backup Solutions with Commvault

Simple = Safe.

The world is complex enough. Commvault and MinIO simplify backup and restore to protect your data. It works out of the box across a range of data sources from VMs to Office 365.

Cloud-Native

MinIO object storage scales seamlessly to exabytes and beyond with its server pools approach. This ensures that Commvault can focus on its core tasks - leaving the rest, from hardware heterogeneity to erasure coding and bit rot protection to MinIO. That means enterprises can scale their backups and protect as much data as makes sense.

Fast Backups Are One Thing, Fast Restore is Another

Backups and restores need to go quickly no matter the size. With the ability to read/write at speeds in excess of 325 GiB/s in a single 32 node cluster, MinIO and Commvault can backup and restore from object storage at speeds once considered impossible. When your business depends on restoring quickly - there is no better solution in the market.

Atomic Power

Because MinIO writes metadata atomically along with the object data, there is no requirement for an external metadata database (Cassandra in most cases). This eliminates the performance penalty associated with small objects. MinIO delivers performance across Commvault's recommended range of object sizes facilitating fast deletes and dedupe.

Inline and Strictly Consistent

Simplicity is hard. It takes work, discipline and above all, commitment. MinIO’s simplicity is legendary and is the result of a philosophical commitment to making our software easy to deploy, use, upgrade and scale. Even Hadoop’s fans will tell you it is complex. To do more with less, you need to migrate from Hadoop to a simpler alternative like MinIO.

Hardware Agnostic

Hadoop rose to prominence on its ability to deliver big data performance. They were, for the better part of a decade, the benchmark for enterprise-grade analytics. Not anymore. MinIO has proven in multiple benchmarks that it is materially faster than Hadoop. This means better performance on Spark, Presto, Flink and other modern analytic workloads, making it ideal for those planning a Hadoop to cloud migration.

MinIO and Commvault offer a diverse range of software-defined, optimized backup solutions. We partnered together to add high performance object storage as an endpoint-disaggregating computation and storage in the backup context, all while delivering superior performance, scalability and economics. A single cluster of MinIO can serve as a Commvault endpoint for anything from VMs, Oracle, SAP, and MS Office.
