IBM partners are being encouraged to sell a new Commvault-based package after a new deal between the enterprise data management, backup, recovery, archive and the cloud company and IBM. The main push is through IBM Business Resiliency Services which provides a managed service based on the Commvault software portfolio of data management and protection software, including the Commvault Data Platform. The idea is to reach global customers with a platform for managing, backing up, recovering, migrating and indexing of all their data, whether it is located on-premises or in the cloud.
IBM Business Resiliency Services will offer its customers the opportunity to deploy Commvault software on-premises, on infrastructure managed in IBM data centers and in IBM Cloud environments, both as a solution or as a managed service.
Particularly in Europe, the implementation of GDPR and other new data privacy and other regulations, combined with increasingly diverse IT environments that consist of various kinds of on-premises infrastructure and multiple cloud services, are creating greater complexity for enterprises.
“The enterprise finds itself in an era where clients are seeking more simplicity and agility in their data backup and recovery solutions to help enable their digital transformation,” said Daniel Witteveen, Vice President, Global Portfolio, IBM Business Resiliency Services. “Seamless integration of IBM and Commvault solutions for on-site or off-site data backup will help deliver a more simplified business continuity model and help reduce operational risks and costs for customers.”
