Compare Commvault to vendor cloud migration tools

Business demands may require you to move applications, databases and workloads from one cloud service to another. Today’s situation may change tomorrow.

When you use separate tools for each of your clouds, plus other tools for your on-premises data, you’re duplicating effort, introducing discrepancies and spending more time than you should.

Commvault gives you incredible flexibility to migrate cloud data – with unmatched hypervisor flexibility.

Only a professional cloud data migration solution lets you easily and securely transport data between clouds. If you’re relying on a cloud vendor migration tool, you may have challenges:

Streamline with Commvault
data migration

Best of all, automation and orchestration further streamline Commvault data migration processes: you can define process flows once, then apply them consistently across data projects. Automation saves you time and effort on your cloud journey.

  • Built-in compression shrinks the data as much as possible
  • Built-in deduplication reduces the volume of data moving to the cloud
  • Encryption protects workloads in flight.
  • Integrated reporting shows success, failure and job restart
  • Easily confirm your workload migration is successful and secure

Scalable cloud data migration

Smoothly manage even large data volumes moving to the cloud – Commvault has seamless integration into tools like Azure Data Box and AWS Snowball. There is no need for additional third-party appliances for large data migrations.

Commvault software seamlessly integrates with large scale data migration tools, including:

Microsoft Azure Data Box family

Data Box, Data Box Disk, Data Box Heavy, Data Box Edge, Data Box Gateway

AWS Snowball

AWS Snowball, AWS Snowball Edge, AWS Snowmobile

Google Transfer Appliance

Commvault integration into these public cloud, large scale data migration tools provides more secure data migration than competitors who require additional third-party appliances for large data migrations.

We uploaded, copied, and synced our data management with Commvault using Azure Data Box in a third of the time it would have taken without it — and we avoided risks to network performance or sensitive information.

Flexible virtual machine data migration to hypervisors and clouds

Use the hypervisors and clouds you need, where you need them. In one click, Commvault can migrate virtual machines to the cloud of your choice.

Moving from one cloud or hypervisor to another involves data conversion. You need simplicity. Enterprise data protection should make it easy to support a wide range of hypervisor conversions.

Hypervisor flexibility is included with Commvault. Move VMware workloads to Azure, AWS workloads to VMware, Hyper-V to AWS — Commvault eliminates the challenge of hypervisor compatibility.

No other vendor offers the hypervisor flexibility that Commvault includes at no extra charge.

Choose virtual machine migration to the cloud as a one-time operation or automate regular cloud copy creation for common use cases such as disaster recovery and dev/test operations.

97-99% deduplication ratio helps Parsons Technology save on cloud storage costs. Commvault has simplified cloud data migration for this technology provider.
