Commvault® Distributed Storage delivers a modern, distributed approach to storing and protecting data on premises and in the cloud. CDS provides resilient yet simple distributed architecture for all modern workloads. Organizations can now have the predictability to grow with changing business requirements, converging digital services across both private and public cloud infrastructure to maximize their flexibility and overcome the rigidity and poor economics of traditional storage.
Commvault® Distributed Storage natively spans multiple racks, datacenters, or sites across geographies and public cloud environments. It is truly software-defined, transforming commodity hardware into the most advanced storage solution available today for any hypervisor, application, or container environment.
Commvault Distributed Storage Features:
Predictable: Scale-out provides predictable performance, scale, and costs, giving you the flexibility you need as your business evolves. Automated and dynamic storage provisioning, integration with container orchestrators, and the ability to enable portable, persistent storage for containers with easy migration of applications between data center and public cloud helps you accelerate DevOps and drive innovation.
Resilient: The distributed systems architecture distributes data across multiple locations – from on-premises data centers to the cloud – as it’s written. This distributed write maximizes availability and protects data from hardware failures from a single disk to an entire site, improving disaster recovery planning.
Simple: Whether your data is on-premises or in the cloud, across block, file, or object storage, you can manage all of it with a single storage platform with a simplified presentation layer. The platform caters to specific workload needs with unique provisioning policies to ensure workload availability across environments while enabling the right storage technology (deduplication, compression, encryption, etc.) for the application.

| Senior Technical Support Engineer at South Asian Technologies | 5.0 | I am responsible for configuring Commvault Distributed Storage with AWS, Azure, and Huawei cloud services. Its fast storage and user-friendly interface are valuable, but high pricing and limited support for some cloud applications need improvement. |
| Technical Architect at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees | 4.0 | I rate Commvault 8/10. It's user-friendly, stable, and effective for migrations, despite needing better NAS/BNP backups and advanced features. My main concern, however, is the poor customer support. |
I am only responsible for configuring and attaching the Commvault Distributed Storage. In a situation when a customer indicates that the product is not performing as expected, I am only responsible for configuration.
The deployment is on the cloud and we are using AWS, Azure, and Huawei cloud services.
The most valuable features are the fast storage, performance, and backup for users.
Some customers have chosen this solution for its features, benefits, and user-friendly interface.
Commvault Distributed Storage pricing is quite high and has room for improvement.
The solution does not support some cloud SaaS applications and has room for improvement with better integration to the storage array.
I am using the solution for five years.
I give the stability a ten out of ten.
I give the scalability a ten out of ten.
The technical support team is good.
The initial setup is a straightforward easy process.
The deployment took less than one hour.
The implementation was completed in-house.
The solution offers a yearly license and it is expensive. I give the cost a four out of ten.
I give the solution a ten out of ten.
We have 100 people using the solution and five are engineers.
Maintenance of the solution requires two engineers.
I recommend Commvault Distributed Storage to others.
Commvault Distributed Storage is a great solution for small and mid-sized enterprise accounts. Around 220 clients are working with this. We always use it in any migration projects requiring more automation.
Commvault helps us earn more customers by improving productivity and reducing implementation.
Commvault is a user-friendly tool, so most people are happy to adopt this solution.
NAS backups and BNP protocol backups could be improved. We require some more advanced features. I would also like some features that would enable us to deploy faster, like an orchestrator or something.
I have used Commvault for five years.
Commvault is stable.
Commvault is scalable.
Commvault support needs to improve. We get a lot of negative feedback from our accounts. I rate Commvault support six out of 10.
We previously used NetBackup. We switched because it's an older, heavier technology. We moved to Commvault because it's a lighter software that works with all the latest APIS.
Commvault is user-friendly and easy to implement. The initial setup is straightforward, and it's also easy to maintain with only one person. The deployment time depends on the size of the environment. A small-scale deployment takes three days to a week, but it may take time in a larger environment.
Normally, we use a push mechanism where we create an environment and a backup and then push all the clients from the backup itself.
I rate Commvault Distributed Storage eight out of 10. I would rate it nine, but the NDMP features and support are not so good.
