CommVault® Simpana® Data Protection for Microsoft SQL Server

Application Protection and Recovery in Minutes

The CommVault® Simpana® data protection solution for SQL Server integrates with hardware-based snapshots to deliver rapid-fire, persistent, protection copies of SQL Server data and applications running in both physical and virtual environments. Within minutes, systems and their associated business applications can be safely protected. And when you need to recover data or applications it can all be done centrally, simply by pointing-and-clicking within the Simpana Management Console which eliminates complex, multi-step, time-consuming restore times.

The legacy approach requires a multitude of non-integrated products (“Snap-type” management products, archive, data movement, backup) to ensure data can be moved from tier-to-tier, location-to-location and finally off to tape. We believe there is a better, more modern way to protect and manage SQL Server applications and data that let us:

• Create protection copies without moving a single piece of data – this minimizes the burden on production servers.
• Create protection copies with multiple recovery points throughout each day – minimizing the risk to your business.
• Deliver protection capability that is independent of underlying hardware – you can use Simpana® software on whatever storage array hardware you already have
• Easily recover applications and data, irrelevant of what storage tier it’s residing on.

Using the CommVault integrated approach means that SQL Server backup and database administrators no longer need to create and maintain scripts and manage numerous technologies and products independently. The management, protection and recovery of application data across tiers of storage, tape and inside the cloud become fast and simple.
