Commvault on AWS Comprehensive Cloud Data Management for Hybrid IT Table of Contents Commvault on AWS Comprehensive Cloud Data Management for Hybrid IT Table of Contents The Data Management Challenge 3 Commvault and Amazon Web Services 4 Benefits 7 Case Study: Dow Jones 8 Getting Started 9 2 The Data Management Challenge Today, more data is being generated than ever before. Keeping up with the rapid pace of data growth presents a series of challenges. Enterprise organizations are collecting petabytes of customer and application data that must be backed up and accessible to meet compliance requirements. Increased regulation around data retention policies make it more difficult to manage backup and archive storage, as critical data may be required to be kept for years and maybe difficult to find. Further complicating matters, point solutions often overlap and leave gaps where data is unprotected and require additional staff to manage them. These issues lead to increased costs, yet many IT departments are facing budget cuts and cannot expand upon their capital to meet increased performance demands. Today’s hybrid IT organizations realize cloud can help solve many data storage issues. With cloud storage comes the need for a comprehensive data management platform to manage data both on-premises and in the cloud. Savvy organizations streamline IT operations and reduce cloud waste with flexible orchestration to automate resource provisioning, policies and routine tasks. This eBook will demonstrate how Commvault and Amazon Web Services (AWS) deliver a cost-effective data management solution that addresses all of these challenges with a single, scalable solution. 3 Commvault and Amazon Web Services Unlike most backup and recovery solutions, Commvault offers a single data platform solution for all backup and recovery needs; as opposed to having to several point solutions for each use case (i.e. Specific solutions for storage, backup, recovery, etc.). Amazon Web Services provides highly scalable, reliable, secure cloud storage. From a single platform, Commvault offers comprehensive data management capabilities including data backup, recovery, management and e-discovery, capabilities that are tightly integrated with Amazon cloud storage. It is built from scratch; meaning all storage, backup, and disaster recovery functions communicate with each other as one solution, regardless of where the data resides. This enables customers to consistently manage their hybrid cloud environment and to improve resiliency by writing backups directly to Amazon S3, Amazon Standard-Infrequent Access (Standard-IA), or Glacier. For secure, durable storage for long-term archiving and backup, Commvault integrates with Amazon Glacier (Amazon S3 is the vehicle through which organizations restore and access data on Amazon Glacier). Commvault helps organizations tier storage costs according to the Service Level Agreement (SLA) profile of the data, application, or service that is being backed up or based on configurable AWS lifecycle policies. This is true for on-premises storage being backed up to the AWS Cloud, as well as backups that are automatically tiered from Amazon S3 to Amazon Glacier. Commvault software supports AWS Snowball, a secure petabyte-scale data transport solution, to migrate large amounts of data into AWS. Integration with the Snowball hardware eliminates the bottlenecks of network and internet connections, simplifying the cloud adoption and data transfer process to increase operational efficiencies, mobility, and speed. Enterprise data is not uniform, which is why Commvault on AWS provides a comprehensive solution that encapsulates organizations’ backup needs. 4 Commvault and Amazon Web Services VM’S IN THE CLOUD Commvault offers end-to-end virtual machine (VM) backup, recovery, and cloud management. These backups can be configured for each individual SLA in place, from hardware snapshot management to workload portability between physical, virtual, and cloud platforms. Automation streamlines the management of organizations’ platforms by treating each VM as unique. It further ensures that each VM’s workload is protected and meets regulatory requirements around retention and recovery. With Commvault, VM portability is enhanced vis-a-vis the ability to migrate into the cloud and convert workloads to native AWS virtual machines. This can not only prove useful for tasks such as dev/test and disaster recovery, but can accelerate cloud adoption as a whole. DATABASES Commvault improves the management of databases through the automation of the backup, recovery, and replication of databases of all types, and in any environment. The software can back up and restore traditional databases, as well as cross-platform and open-source data bases to the AWS Cloud. This is made possible through integration with various databases for data consistent protection and recovery using the Commvault interfaces or the native database tools directly. FILES Commvault software indexes snapshots to make them searchable enabling businesses to perform full application recovery, or to choose which pieces of data to recover, eliminating time spend on recovering unnecessary data and reducing overall recovery times. The streamlined and secure user experience provides visibility across all data types and enables users and administrators to quickly and easily restore files from virtually anywhere. Using a simple search, users can find, restore, and recover files via any device with a simple search function. 5 Commvault and Amazon Web Services ENTERPRISE APPLICATIONS AND EMAIL Commvault on AWS provides unlimited scalability as data volumes continue to increase. Automated snapshot management integrates multiple tools, including hardware snapshots, to automate the archival and recovery of emails. Self-service access to archives provides users with the ability to search and recover missing or deleted messages. ERP SOFTWARE Commvault’s vendor-neutral software lets businesses choose any solution that best serves the business and enables them to meet their SLAs. Data and workload backups for Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software can be moved to AWS. In case of a disaster, the “push-button” feature immediately launches an automated disaster recovery procedure for increased agility and responsiveness. ENDPOINTS Mobile devices that are frequently turned off or connected to low-bandwidth networks, such as laptops or tablets, make it difficult for the automation of backups. By providing source side duplication, dynamic scheduling, backup on demand, and bandwidth throttling, Commvault helps remote users experience transparent protection of their data, while helping to protect the data from ransomware and other threats. In addition, this also allows users to access their data wherever they are, no longer having to be at the office to work on their projects. Commvault protects data value with automatic encryption and backs up mobile data to a centralized ContentStore. Plus, users can self-search and recover on their own, a huge time saver for them and for IT. 6 Benefits MAXIMIZE UPTIME Commvault and the AWS Cloud make it easy to extend your existing disaster recovery solution by taking advantage of the AWS Cloud’s flexibility. AWS’s pay- as-you-go cloud infrastructure eliminates the need for physical servers and data centers. Resources for testing, full production, and recovery can be spun up on-demand so that your infrastructure scales with your business, and you only pay for what you need. The automation of workloads makes disaster recovery simple and seamless, as workloads can be backed up to Amazon S3 and restored directly to AWS Elastic Cloud Compute (EC2). FREE UP EXISTING DATA CENTER SPACE Commvault software’s integration with Amazon Glacier allows customers to automatically tier older or infrequently-accessed data to the cloud. It moves deduplicated secondary or tertiary copy backup and archive data into durable, highly available, extremely low-cost cloud storage, often replacing onsite tape silos. By freeing up existing and more expensive disk space to accommodate ongoing data growth, your organization can realize significant savings. MEET STORAGE SLAS Customers can effectively tier storage costs according to SLA profile of the data, application, or service in question. This feature is not only for moving on-premises storage into Amazon cloud storage, but to automatically tier data from Amazon S3 into Amazon Glacier based on configurable AWS lifecycle policies. ENHANCE DATA PROTECTION Commvault leverages backup copies to move data and applications to AWS, ensuring your data is protected and recoverable wherever it resides. This also applies for native workloads in the cloud as well. Commvault’s platform writes natively to the cloud, eliminating the need for any additional technology. It also gives you the ability to move data between any physical sites through replication and deduplication — whether those sites are on premises or hosted. 7 Dow Jones Case Study Two years ago, Dow Jones’ parent company News Corp North America laid out goals to move 75% of all compute functions to the public cloud and reduce their data center footprint from 50 to 6. The company’s backups consisted of over 30,000 tapes in off-site storage facilities. They sought to backup over five petabytes of data to AWS to reduce recovery times, ensure the safety of their data in case of a disaster, and cut storage costs. CHALLENGES “We needed our developers focused on the innovative • Reduce data center footprint from 50 to 6 technology that makes Dow Jones unique, not on • 30,000 tapes in off-site
