Ankit Gagneja

Cloud Solution Architect at Tata Consultancy

Hybrid backup strategy has improved recovery orchestration and now supports flexible DR planning

I think improvements could be made in Commvault Cloud. Lately what I have seen is that there are AI capabilities that different data protection organizations are coming up with, which basically revolves around tiering of not frequently accessible data to glacier kind of storage, plus bringing in a high level of compression and deduplication capabilities. All those features I believe are there in other customers and they are bringing in new use cases from the AI perspective which I have not recently seen in Commvault. I have seen that Dell does have such features. We recently pitched a solution to the customers where we talked about data tiering and the other AI use cases, identifying the data by itself and autonomously taking decisions on how to tier the data between the different storage classes that we have. Those kind of capabilities that we have proposed to the customer as far as the partner solutions are concerned. I would like to see AI capabilities in Commvault Cloud. The rest of the features pretty much align with the other enterprise solutions that we have in the market. It is just the AI capability that is being asked by the customers as well as that I see missing with Commvault.

Unified backups have protected hybrid workloads and now enable rapid recovery from ransomware

Dell Data Protection Suite is the most effective solution for my needs. The best features include comprehensive backup recovery across hybrid environments, supporting physical, virtual, and cloud workloads with tools that ensure fast, efficient restores across diverse environments. The flexibility in supporting physical, virtual, and cloud workloads has been a real advantage for us. We had a legacy physical database workload running on-premises alongside a newer cloud application in Azure. Traditionally, we would have needed separate tools to protect each environment, which would have meant extra overhead and complexity. Dell Data Protection Suite has positively impacted our organization by strengthening resilience, simplifying operations, and reducing downtime. Fast recovery is a key positive outcome, as RecoveryPoint for VMs allows us to restore critical workloads to a clean point in time with snapshots within minutes, minimizing downtime during incidents. The accuracy and reliability of the output from Dell Data Protection Suite's AI are generally high, especially concerning anomaly detection and compliance reporting.
