Commvault has announced a new strategic partnership with Google Cloud to help enterprises leverage the range of cloud services available on one of the industry’s fastest growing cloud platforms, Google Cloud Platform.
The partnership announcement with Google Cloud Platform outlines new opportunities for joint enterprise customers to scale faster, innovate easier, and more securely protect, store and use data in the cloud.
By supporting all four Google Cloud Platform storage classes for content repositories — Coldline, Nearline, Regional and Multi-Regional — Commvault helps customers optimise their cloud investments by enabling them to achieve the right balance between access and cost economics of data storage.
According to a recent Commvault executive cloud survey conducted in partnership with CITO Research, 56% of responding organisations are cloud-only or plan to move 100% of their workloads to the cloud. In a separate cloud security survey commissioned by Google, research by MIT Sloan found that 75% of IT and business executives said data storage was their top workload deployed in the cloud today.
These findings underscore the importance of cloud adoption for modernising IT processes, improving operational efficiencies and increasing business agility.
“Our enterprise customers are looking for support for their migration strategies to Google Cloud Platform,” says Adam Massey, director of strategic technology partnerships at Google Cloud. “And with that comes a requirement for comprehensive data protection. Commvault will help our customers accelerate their migration by making it easier and faster to move data to Google Cloud Platform.”
Commvault compression and global deduplication help enterprises rapidly and cost-effectively move huge volumes of data to Google Cloud Platform. Across on-premises and cloud storage locations, the Commvault platform provides a single comprehensive view of data, making it simpler and more cost-effective to manage data and satisfy regulatory requirements. With Commvault, industry standard encryption secures data in motion and at rest, providing additional peace of mind in meeting security and compliance requirements.
Through the strategic partnership, Commvault and Google Cloud are empowering enterprises to transform their businesses by deploying a single solution for holistic data management, including data backup, recovery, management and e-discovery across on-premises, Google Cloud Platform and other cloud environments.
