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.
Não houve nenhuma ação formal de divulgação à imprensa em relação a essa mudança de nome; simplesmente atualizamos o Portal de Parceiros e os principais recursos para refletir a mudança de nome.
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.
Considerando a integração da tecnologia da Hedvig com o Commvault Grid e o fato de que o Commvault Grid é nosso principal produto para backup, vamos destacar o Commvault Grid para o caso de uso de backup. Isso simplifica nossa proposta.
The other use cases remain unchanged. Moving forward, we will look to increase our mindshare for primary storage, and more specifically para virtualização and contêineres storage, which will allow us to be more targeted in our messaging for personas like DevOps.
