Introduction

Commvault HyperScale is a modern, scale-out data protection solution that simplifies backup and recovery by integrating compute, storage, and software into a single platform. The OpsRamp integration enables discovery and monitoring of key Commvault HyperScale components, delivering real-time visibility and proactive alerting for optimal backup performance.

Commvault HyperScale combines core data protection components like CommServe, Media Agents, and storage into a single, hyper-converged appliance. It is designed for scale-out deployments, high availability, and performance optimization.

Key Capabilities

  • Scale-Out Architecture: Expand capacity and performance by adding nodes—no need for external, centralized storage.
  • Integrated Solution: Delivers a unified appliance that reduces infrastructure complexity.
  • High Availability: Built-in redundancy and data distribution prevent single points of failure.
  • Simplified Management: Centralized control of backup, recovery, and storage with minimal administrative overhead.
  • Optimized Performance: Uses local storage to accelerate backup and restore operations.
  • Hybrid Cloud Support: Enables seamless data movement between on-premises and cloud environments.

Benefits

  • Scalable: Easily adapt to growing data volumes by adding nodes.
  • Cost-Efficient: Reduces the need for expensive external storage systems.
  • Resilient: Maintains data protection during hardware failures.
  • Flexible: Supports diverse environments and workloads.
