Commvault® Backup

Appliances
GO FROM POWER-UP TO BACKUP IN LESS THAN AN HOUR
The Commvault A-Series family of integrated backup appliances combine leading enterprise
data protection software and hardware in best-of-breed solutions that close the scalability,
flexibility and manageability gaps in competitive offerings.

A COMPLETE PORTFOLIO FOR YOUR NEEDS

Forget about the complex task of building your own solution. Commvault offers a portfolio of integrated backup
appliances that allow you to go from power-up to backup in less than an hour. Each appliance combines
Commvault’s industry-leading software with pre-configured and optimized hardware, including an option that uses
NetApp’s category-leading NetApp E-Series storage system.

To further simplify ordering and deployment, the appliances include a licensing option aligned to the usable storage
capacity (e.g., 36TB of NetApp E-Series storage includes 36TB of Commvault back-end terabyte licensing). Or
you can purchase the hardware separately and use it with Commvault’s traditional front-end terabyte capacity
licensing. Either way, Commvault serves as the single point of contact for software and hardware support issues,
and the installation wizard allows you to be up and running quickly regardless of the option you choose.

Commvault® backup appliances help you manage data growth, reduce the need for point products, and optimize
storage with built-in support for deduplication and virtualization.
