Case Study: Commvault achieves simplified, high-performance hybrid cloud backup and archive with Cloudian HyperStore

Commvault and Cloudian Simplify Data Protection with S3 API-compliant Cloud Storage

Commvault needed a scalable, cost‑effective way to protect growing backup volumes and maintain offsite disaster‑recovery copies while keeping management simple. Cloudian provided the solution partner and its Cloudian HyperStore® S3‑compatible storage as an on‑premises, disk‑based backup target that integrates directly with Commvault’s software to enable hybrid cloud backup, policy‑based tiering, and remote DR targets.

Cloudian implemented HyperStore as a plug‑and‑play backup target that appears to Commvault as cloud storage, with automated tiering to public S3‑compatible clouds, optional target deduplication (up to 30:1), and scalable throughput ( >18 TB/hr with 16 nodes). The result was predictable, high‑performance backups, lower on‑site disk costs, preserved offsite DR copies, and significant savings for secondary backup/DR—at reported costs under $0.01/GB/month and petabyte‑scale capacity enabled by Cloudian.
