VAST's industry-leading Similarity-Based data reduction coupled with Commvault Complete's data protection tools achieves unprecedented efficiency, reducing all-flash storage costs to HDD-levels.
By applying new thinking to decades-old storage problems, VAST has broken the long-standing tradeoff between performance and the cost of capacity to make affordable flash restores possible. The VAST Data Platform bucks the traditional model of purpose-built backup appliances (PBBA) that deduplicate data across spinning disks and are not designed for fast data recovery. Combining VAST's all-flash solution with Commvault’s Complete Data Protection platform enables organizations to instantly recover from any data loss scenario, including ransomware attacks, at a cost comparable to hard drive economics.
VAST combines QLC flash, revolutionary data reduction, and highly efficient erasure codes to bring flash to price points suitable for backup, allowing customers to combine Commvault’s backup orchestration and data management engine with VAST’s unified all-flash file and object storage platform. VAST and Commvault deliver complementary data reduction capabilities to further drive optimal enterprise performance, efficiency, and TCO. Together, Commvault and VAST offer an all-flash scale-out architecture that can meet stringent recovery time objectives (RTOs) by providing rapid restore performance at a cost 40 percent lower than legacy PBBAs such as Dell EMC PowerProtect DD.
