Commvault announced an expansion of its Commvault Flex partner ecosystem, extending to Hitachi Vantara and NetApp. Designed for organizations with very large, dynamic datasets, Commvault Flex, previously called HyperScale Flex, delivers purpose-built data protection and resilience with a flexible architecture that connects to external high performance flash storage pools. The demand for AI-ready data center capacity is expected to rise at an average rate of 33% annually as more organizations use AI for their mission-critical applications.

This explosion in AI-generated data is driving an acute need for resilient flexible solutions that can scale performance and capacity independently of traditional compute and storage. In turn, this can help organizations scale recovery of critical systems, avoid overprovisioning, help reduce costs, and support stringent service level agreements. Building on the existing Commvault Flex ecosystem with Everpure, HPE, and VAST Data, this expanded ecosystem with Hitachi Vantara and NetApp gives enterprises greater flexibility and confidence to meet cyber recovery performance objectives while maintaining consistency with their preferred storage vendors.

The Commvault Flex models are delivered as a software image that can easily be installed on validated server hardware and connected with the storage hardware of these partners. The Commvault Flex integration with Hitachi Vantara and NetApp is targeted for general availability this summer. Pricing is configured based on the specific server and storage options selected for the solution.
