Commvault Grid is a validated, VaultOS-hardened scale-out architecture for growing data centers. It helps organizations add capacity predictably, maintain a more consistent protection and recovery posture, and build on a hardened foundation for on-premises recovery readiness. Who is Commvault Grid designed for? Commvault Grid is well suited for organizations that need predictable on-premises growth, simplified operations, and a scalable foundation for protecting recovery data. It is often a fit for growing data center environments that benefit from node-based expansion and centralized management. How does Commvault Grid scale? As the environment expands, Grid scales by adding supported nodes in predictable increments. Automatic load rebalancing distributes data and metadata across the storage pool to help maintain performance and simplify growth. What deployment options are available for Commvault Grid? Grid can be deployed as integrated infrastructure or as a validated reference architecture using approved hardware components. How does Grid help protect recovery data? Commvault Grid supports recovery from immutable protected data and connects to broader cyber resilience workflows. Teams can pair it with capabilities such as Threat Scan and Cleanroom to improve recovery readiness, validation, and audit-facing evidence. How is Grid different from Flex? Grid scales through a node-based architecture that expands capacity in predictable increments. Flex enables compute and storage resources to scale independently, making it a strong fit for data-intensive environments with evolving capacity and performance requirements. --- Contact Us ## Ready to get started?
