H3C Works with CommVault for Better Data Management Solution for SMBs

Hangzhou, 9 July 2008 － H3C Technologies, one of the world’s leading IP technology and solution providers, has announced a data backup and recovery solution together with CommVault, the leading software company focusing on data management. Leveraging H3C’s reliable hardware platform and CommVault’s Galaxy backup and recovery software, the joint solution will perfectly fit the data management requirements for SMBs.

Because data is an important asset for companies today, increased risks of software or hardware faults, viruses, hacker attacks, natural disasters or human mishandling can lead to data breaches resulting in a catastrophic impact on the business. Given IT budget constraints and lack of in-house IT professionals, SMBs are particularly vulnerable to data disasters.

With a view to address the challenges faced by SMBs, H3C is committed to delivering a data management solution that is easy to operate and control, and with a high price performance ratio.

For the joint solution, H3C’s DL1000S provides highly reliable and stable hardware for data management, while CommVault’s Galaxy backup and recovery software supports tapes, disks, and disc-based media to backup data. Disk-based data protection technology enables faster backup speed, smaller backup windows, higher recovery and random access ability.

In addition, the joint solution adopts disks as the backup media. The disk-based approach helps prevent data loss since tapes may be easily damaged or magnetized. RAID technology and fault tolerant mechanism ensure data reliability, providing SMBs with the latest system software updates and emergency measures, while at the same time facilitating unified and streamlined data management.

“Data is the key asset to enterprises, and is also the core component of information systems. The strong alliance between CommVault and H3C brings a more advanced, integrated data management solution with higher price performance,” said Yongxing Xu, General Manager, CommVault China.

H3C has worked with CommVault for a long time and the launch of this joint solution follows a concerted effort in understanding the needs of SMBs, and is the synthesis H3C’s and CommVault’s strengths. The solution equips SMBs with a strong data backup and recovery platform, which greatly improves efficiency and reduces management cost.

“Collaboration with CommVault is a perfect example of H3C’s partnership with industry leaders in delivering solutions to meet customers’ needs. As a customer-centric company, H3C always adopts an open attitude, aiming to create the best solutions for customers,” added Lizhi, Director of Storage Product Line, H3C.
