Enterprise backup and data protection company Commvault has integrated its Commvault Data Platform and IntelliSnap technology with FlashStack, a converged infrastructure solution offered jointly by Cisco and Pure Storage.

According to Commvault, FlashStack is an evergreen converged infrastructure solution that significantly shortens storage time and drives great infrastructure return on investment. It combines compute, network, and storage hardware into a single, integrated architecture.

By providing the data protection layer of FlashStack with IntelliSnap integration, Commvault says it is working with Pure Storage and Cisco to address the ongoing challenges created by the shift from the traditional silo approach of separate servers to an optimised solution that provides organisations a high performance, scalable infrastructure for deploying mission-critical workloads.

"Through our extended collaboration with Pure Storage and Cisco to provide Commvault's IntelliSnap integration with FlashStack, we reinforce our ongoing commitment to support all flash data centres to enable business critical applications to perform faster, run more efficiently, and be more available for our shared customers," said Ralph Nimergood, VP of Worldwide Channels and Alliances, Commvault. "With Commvault software providing the data protection layer for FlashStack, which is built on industry-leading servers and networking components from Cisco and purpose-built, all flash storage from Pure Storage, customers are able to leverage a pre-designed, pre-engineered, and tested solution as a whole."

Commvault's IntelliSnap integration with FlashStack is a replacement over traditional data management and protection tools that are unable to scale and support critical enterprise applications and databases like Oracle, VMware SAP, Microsoft SQL and Exchange, whether physical or virtual, adds the enterprise backup and data protection company.

"The addition of Commvault software completes a trifecta of industry-leading technology from Pure Storage and Cisco for our FlashStack offering to provide organisations with a powerful, efficient, and evergreen infrastructure solution," said Michael Sotnick, VP of Channels and Alliances, Pure Storage. "Commvault's IntelliSnap Technology is an ideal fit for FlashStack customers who are responsible for transforming their organisations by delivering faster applications, a better user experience and smarter analytics. By providing modernised and innovative data protection and management from Commvault, FlashStack customers will garner an accelerated time to value while driving an increased ROI from their infrastructure."
