What happened?
We changed the name of the Hedvig product from the Hedvig Distributed Storage Platform™ to Commvault® Distributed Storage.
Please note that we no longer include the word ‘Platform’ in the description and there is no longer a ™ at the end of the name. The ® is after the word Commvault, like with the other products (e.g., Commvault® Backup & Recovery, Commvault® Disaster Recovery).
When did this happen?
The change happened on March 15, 2021, aligned to FR 11.23/Hedvig 4.3 release.
Non è stata organizzata alcuna attività stampa ufficiale in merito a questo cambio di nome; ci siamo limitati ad aggiornare il Portale dei partner e le risorse principali per riflettere il cambiamento.
Why did we do this?
We made this change to fully incorporate Hedvig into the Commvault master brand. It’s been ~18 months since the acquisition and we wanted to wait to change the name until after Hedvig technology had been fully integrated into the Commvault Grid portfolio. This integration initially happened with the appliance in July 2020 and then with the reference designs in November. These integrations not only significantly improved the product’s performance, resilience, and scalability, but they also served as a logical time to make the name change.
Are there any other changes happening along with this?
While the product capabilities are not changing, we’re tweaking how we position Commvault Distributed Storage. Up to this point, we have targeted four use cases across primary and secondary storage: virtualization and containers for primary storage, and backup and object storage for secondary storage.
Considerata l’integrazione della tecnologia Hedvig con Commvault Grid e dato che Commvault Grid è il nostro prodotto di punta per il backup, punteremo su Commvault Grid per il caso d’uso del backup. Questo semplifica il nostro approccio.
The other use cases remain unchanged. Moving forward, we will look to increase our mindshare for primary storage, and more specifically per la virtualizzazione and i container storage, which will allow us to be more targeted in our messaging for personas like DevOps.
