Quantum and CommVault combine

Combining the Power of Lattus and Simpana to Enable the New Converged Data Centre
Quantum Lattus provides nearline access to archived data across global locations in a highly scalable and cost-effective disk-based solution that never requires a “forklift” upgrade – a forever disk archive. Lattus offers much greater durability than traditional RAID offerings, including true self-healing and self-protection capabilities, and enables automatic multi-site protection without the need for replication. The result is a highly resilient, disaster tolerant, scalable archival repository that doesn’t need to be backed up. CommVault Simpana unifies backup, archive, reporting and disaster recovery (DR) on a single software platform, providing a converged data management solution to control cost and risk. With the combination of Quantum Lattus-D and CommVault Simpana, enterprises can now store a single instance of archive data on Lattus and be confident that it is retained in a manner that can exceed the protection offered by traditional redundant copy data protection schemes. Customers can also benefit from low-latency access delivered on a global scale.

Bringing Cloud-Based Object Storage to the Data Centre
Lattus-D capitalises on Simpana’s comprehensive backup, archive and DR management capabilities, easily integrating with Simpana via an S3 REST interface. In turn, Simpana software leverages the native Lattus REST API to offer cloud archive technology for petabyte-scale environments and simple, automated data movement and management. As a result, data centre customers can realise the benefits of private cloud storage.

Cloud-Scale Lattus Implementation
Quantum also recently established the Lattus Demo Lab, located inside Switch’s state of the art SUPERNAP data centers and available for use today. With today’s announcement customers will now be able to leverage Lattus within the SUPERNAP data centres as a cloud-based component of their data protection strategy.
