As we've journeyed with our customers over the past year, we’ve witnessed and responded to three key digital trends. These trends have greatly informed the development of our upcoming release, Commvault Cloud Platform Release 2024E, specifically designed to address the challenges posed by these trends. Cyber threats and the impact on response, recovery, and resilience Cyber threats are becoming increasingly sophisticated and targeted, significantly impacting response, recovery, and resilience. The cost of these incidents goes beyond ransom payments and impacts operational and business continuity. Although customers have become adept at disaster and operational recovery, the emergence of ransomware has altered the landscape. Increasing data distribution across clouds, regions, and apps Complexity increases as data is distributed across clouds, regions, and apps.

This is the third installment in our series of articles on the latest capabilities of HyperScale X. Catch up on the first two here: what’s new in HyperScale X in 2022E and the redesign and innovation of the HSX installer.Today we are going to cover a few of key security features for HyperScale X, and how it provides a secure, immutable storage platform for protecting your business’s critical data.

Commvault Feature Release 11.28, currently in Tech Preview and set for General Availability in August 2022, will now be referred to as Commvault Platform Release 2022E. Like most software companies, Commvault regularly provides software updates in order to bring new features and functionality to our customers. We had originally referred to these as “Service Packs”, using a numbering scheme that identified both the software version and the update version. For example, software Version 11 (first offered in 2015), Service Pack 18. Because this is premises-based software – requiring the customer to download, update, and maintain it themselves – customers elect to update their software with varying frequency, depending on their business cycles and internal IT resources. To help this process, we would intermittently designate one as having Long-term Support (LTS). Long-term Support is a product lifecycle management policy in which a stable release of computer software is maintained for a lon

This is the second in our series of articles on the latest capabilities of HyperScale X. If you missed the first covering what’s new in HyperScale X in 2022E, catch up on that here. Click on the images (figures) throughout to enlarge them. We've come a long way since someone typed "./setupsds" for the first time to launch the text based installer to configure Hyperscale, with a few twists and turns along the way. From the first manual drive selection and network configuration, Hyperscale setup and configuration was primarily CLI driven, requiring higher levels of Linux expertise than we wanted our customers, PS, and the field to worry about. As part of our effort to automate bring more simplicity, we are incredibly happy to bring to the product a completely re-designed HSX installer. Driven entirely through the IPMI interface, it's 100% GUI driven using a single command. No network config is required other than IPMI before beginning setup, greatly simplifying the effort and time requi
