Commvault Edge is a single-node backup and recovery solution for remote, branch, edge, and smaller primary sites. It combines local storage, immutable backup, and centralized management to help protect and recover data close to the source. When should I choose Commvault Edge? Choose Commvault Edge when a location needs dedicated local protection and recovery but has limited space or on-site IT resources. It is designed for distributed locations such as branch offices, retail stores, clinics, plants, and regional sites. How does Commvault Edge support local recovery? Commvault Edge stores backup data in a local, single-node storage pool, enabling recovery from on-site copies. This helps organizations restore data locally without relying solely on a remote data center or cloud copy. How does Commvault Edge protect recovery data? Commvault Edge combines immutable local storage with a hardened VaultOS foundation to help protect recovery data. Organizations can add Commvault AirGap for an isolated, immutable cloud copy when an additional recovery layer is needed. How is Commvault Edge different from Grid and Flex? Edge provides right-sized protection for distributed and smaller sites. Grid supports node-based growth in larger data centers, while Flex enables compute and storage to scale independently for large, data-intensive environments. How is Commvault Edge deployed and managed? Commvault Edge runs on validated Dell, HPE, or Lenovo hardware and is managed centrally through the Commvault Console. Organizations can deploy additional Edge systems as separate storage pools when more sites require protection. --- contact us ## Standardize edge backup and recovery across distributed sites See how Commvault Edge can help you simplify deployment, strengthen immutable backup, and improve recovery confidence at remote and branch locations.
