GO FROM POWER-UP TO BACKUP IN LESS THAN AN HOUR
The Commvault A-Series family of integrated backup appliances combine leading enterprise data protection software and hardware in best-of-breed solutions that close the scalability, flexibility and manageability gaps in competitive offerings.
A COMPLETE PORTFOLIO FOR YOUR NEEDS
Forget about the complex task of building your own solution. Commvault offers a portfolio of integrated backup appliances that allow you to go from power-up to backup in less than an hour. Each appliance combines Commvault’s industry-leading software with pre-configured and optimized hardware, including an option that uses NetApp’s category-leading NetApp E-Series storage system.
To further simplify ordering and deployment, the appliances include a licensing option aligned to the usable storage capacity (e.g., 36TB of NetApp E-Series storage includes 36TB of Commvault back-end terabyte licensing). Or you can purchase the hardware separately and use it with Commvault’s traditional front-end terabyte capacity licensing. Either way, Commvault serves as the single point of contact for software and hardware support issues, and the installation wizard allows you to be up and running quickly regardless of the option you choose.
Commvault® Backup Appliances
Commvault® backup appliances help you manage data growth, reduce the need for point products, and optimize storage with built-in support for deduplication and virtualization.

SCALABILITY
Plug-and-play scaling for storage capacity and compute power means you can grow without needing to reconfigure your environment. Whether you need a smaller capacity appliance for a remote or branch office (ROBO) or you need to add disk shelves to an existing appliance in your primary data center, Commvault software makes scaling easy. Plus, it supports faster restores across simultaneous jobs — particularly valuable for disaster recovery — and parallel deduplication for increased scalability and software resiliency to complement hardware availability.
FLEXIBILITY
Use a single ROBO appliance in smaller environments — or easily combine multiple appliances for scale, load balancing, and resiliency as you grow. Commvault software also allows you to extend beyond backup and recovery with optional support for snapshot management, email and file archiving, search and eDiscovery, and operational analytics and metrics.
MANAGEABILITY
Enterprise-class management provides centralized management, reporting and software deployment. You can also give your users self-service access for restoring files and VMs, and the appliance integrates seamlessly with the storage hardware management interface, giving you a truly unified solution that reduces operational complexity.
USE CASES
The ease of purchase, deployment, and support of the A-Series family of appliances address a wide-range of business needs and use cases, ranging from support for ROBO sites with limited IT staff to large corporations or governmental agencies with policies that favor appliances over software-only solutions.
Commvault software helps you redefine your approach to data protection with a single platform that optimizes the backup process whether your data lives on-premise or in the cloud. Commvault provides instant ‘live’ access to data in its native format which minimizes downtime while eliminating the need for multiple data instances, and enables rapid recovery of snapshots without custom scripting. All of this keeps your business running seamlessly, delivering on-demand access to critical data while lowering operational expenses.

The appliances require the purchase of 3 years of 4-hour/Next Business Day (NBD) Premium hardware maintenance on all original components for the server and storage, if applicable. The appliances also require the purchase of 1 year of software maintenance. Customers can choose to purchase 3 years of software maintenance to co-terminate hardware and software support.
