Commvault, a global leader in intelligent data services across on-premises, cloud, and SaaS environments, today announced that leading industry research firm GigaOm has named Commvault a “Leader” and “Outperformer” in the new GigaOm Radar for Kubernetes Data Protection for has for the third year in a row.
Commvault was evaluated along with 14 other vendors based on execution, roadmap, and ability to innovate. According to GigaOm, Commvault “performs very well by efficiently combining solutions for SaaS applications, on-premises (VM-based) infrastructure, containers and databases”. Commvault provides Kubernetes data protection through its Commvault Complete™ Data Protection software and Metallic Data Management as a Service (DMaaS) solutions, giving customers the flexibility to choose their preferred storage provider across their extensive ecosystem.
“In general, the market is very dynamic and vendors are looking to build a consistent experience across multiple clouds while delivering advanced application and data mobility,” said Joep Piscaer, GigaOm analyst. “Commvault’s broad support for VMs, containers, and (cloud) data services and databases on a single platform makes it a great choice for hybrid and complex applications. Its security and ransomware controls are very extensive, making it suitable for larger organizations.”
Kubernetes and containers have not (yet) replaced all cloud and traditional applications – they have integrated into the application landscape and must be protected accordingly. Over the past year, Commvault has significantly enhanced its protection for Kubernetes workloads by incorporating fully automated management, replication, migration, and security enhancements into its Intelligent Data Services portfolio. According to GigaOm Radar for Kubernetes Data Protection, Commvault provides effective protection for “hybrid applications running across Kubernetes, VMs and cloud services, consolidating backup operations onto a single platform.”
“We are extremely pleased to be recognized as a Leader and Outperformer in the GigaOm Radar for Kubernetes Data Protection for the third year in a row, and are equally proud of the investments and rapid progress we have made in expanding our leading data protection technology to support the broadest range of workloads in the industry,” said Ranga Rajagopalan, Vice President of Products, Commvault. “Through native integration with Kubernetes, Commvault fully protects customers’ modern application environments across full clusters and at the namespace level, providing complete and scalable protection regardless of where the application is running.”
