Vast Data, Commvault protect Expedient’s customer data and recovery

Tuesday, 27 June 2023 09:13

Data platform company Vast Data and enterprise data protection provider Commvault have announced they are powering Expedient to deliver service level agreement to its customers without conventional expense associated with legacy infrastructure.

“With Vast and Commvault, Expedient is partnering with the best software companies in the industry to deliver the most innovative IT solutions in the market,” said Expedient CEO Bryan Smith.

“Our customers depend on us to manage their IT infrastructure to allow them to focus on their core business – and through these partnerships, we’re improving the performance, reliability, and scalability for our customers, resulting in a higher service level and improved recovery time. That translates to better business outcomes for the short and long term.”

Vast has enabled Expedient to retire its legacy direct attached storage (DAS) target, in order to achieve:

1. Rapid ransomware recovery
2. Extreme infrastructure consolidation at scale
3. Improved data reduction through Commvault + Vast integration
4. 80 percent less power/space/cooling
5. Archive economics with NVMe performance

Smith was impressed with Vast’s high data transfer and secondary data reduction. “For instance, normally, sealing a deduplication database would cause storage consumption to increase as it requires all new data signatures and blocks. However, as Vast was able to identify the incoming blocks, it was able to deduplicate that data regardless.”

Commvault chief partner officer Alan Atkinson said with Vast, they are enabling solution and service providers like Expedient “to help their customers recover their historical backups at a much faster rate to ensure their business and operations continue to run undisrupted.

“As we finalise our new validated design based on this successful use case, we’re excited to see how our partners and customers will take advantage of this deep integration.”

“By helping customers to reduce their data footprint and giving them fast access to all of their data at an affordable price, we can help enterprises to free themselves of legacy infrastructure and propel them toward an efficient, future-proof, AI-ready data platform,” said Vast Data vice president data protection division George R. Axberg III.

Expedient is a full stack cloud service provider, entrusted by over 1,400 customers to transform their IT operations through award-winning multi-cloud solutions and managed infrastructure services.

The service provider selected Vast to help drive greater operational efficiency and performance for customers with data protection services from Commvault, and has seen up to an additional 2:1 data reduction since moving to Vast’s data platform, on top of Commvault’s front-end deduplication.

Also announced today, Vast and Commvault’s forthcoming co-engineered systems, which will be available for purchase from certified solution provider partners in Fall 2023.
