Leveraging Simpana® software to build your services portfolio ensures lower operating costs, increased up-time for your customers and future investment protection.

4.

Scale protection, while maximizing hardware and management efficiency, from a few hundred up to tens of thousands using a single console. Support for 10,000 clients on one CommCell.

5.

Integrated search and compliance/ediscovery features meet corporate needs and reduce the time and cost of discovery events.

6.

Lower Operational Costs: Simpana software’s singular platform shares heterogeneous storage infrastructure across backup, archive and replication managed from a single console

Executive Summary

Edge Protection with CommVault® Simpana® Software With an increasingly mobile and geographically diverse customer base, many organizations are looking to their service providers to protect and manage their mobile workforce’s data. CommVault Edge™ technology allows service providers to deliver a desktop/laptop backup offering with the ability to deliver anywhere access to data and integrated search and eDiscovery in one solution to enhance productivity and safeguard the work and assets of their customers. The CommVault Edge feature allows users self-service access to their protected data through mobile apps, web-based console and Windows Explorer plug-in. With end-to-end security, data is protected and secure, while reducing sensitive data being transferred to consumer-grade cloud backup and file-sharing services. CommVault® Simpana® software for Service providers offers reliable, affordable, enterprise class protection for data at the edge on laptops and desktops for a multi-tenant environment. Combine these capabilities with source-side deduplication, opportunistic scheduling and built-in encryption and moving data to the cloud suddenly becomes a viable option. Service providers running edge protection services powered by Simpana® are uniquely positioned to drive cloud storage adoption in a secure, seamless solution to their clients.

Reducing Operating Costs Uniquely designed, Simpana® software’s modular architecture shares a common code base allowing multi-tenant architectures to efficiently share hardware infrastructure across product offerings to significantly reduce operating and administrative costs. Administrative teams can also leverage training, operational experience and administrative knowledge across product offerings. In addition, advanced built in features like data compression and source-side deduplication help improve efficiency by eliminating redundant copies of data and ensuring optimal network utilization. In some cases, source-side deduplication has allowed providers to delay costly network upgrades for 12 – 24 months, helping extend the life of existing hardware investments. Highly automated features like automated software updates, policy based management and automated path failover reduce the care and feeding needed to keep your operation running.

Self-Service Management

For Service providers offering end user, self management capabilities, CommVault Simpana software offers web, Java and API interfaces for users to manage their service.

Embedded Global Deduplication

Eliminates redundant segments from the backup sets storing only unique data on disk to reduce storage requirements and improve disk retention without any impact on the recovery speeds. Data is deduplicated at the source before it is transferred over network. Reduces network bandwidth and back up time by 50% on average.

End-to-End Security

With source side Encryption and secure HTTPS data transport, enterprise and sensitive data is secure from the source all the way to the cloud destination and while it is at rest without requiring a VPN connection.

Mobile Self-Service Access

Users are able to manage their CommVault Edge Protection service using the method and device of their choice through mobile apps, a web console and Windows Explorer plug-in, allowing users to manage data anywhere they have mobile data or internet service. The CommVault Edge app is available for Android on the Google Play app store, for iPhone on the Apple iTunes store and Windows 8.

Flexible Billing

Simpana software’s reports and Custom Reports builder allow you to create reports to match your billing model. Simpanas SQL back end allows simple integration into billing platforms.

Easy Deployment

Simpana software has a deployment model to match your edge protection service offerings, from end-user self-service to Active Directory integrated silent installs and client upgrade / patch management.

Low Network Requirements

Because Simpana deduplication backs up data at the source, with opportunistic scheduling, the intelligence to only run a job if a file has changed and bandwidth throttling options, network requirements are minimized. HTTPS data transport protocol means data can pass through standard proxy connections.
