Today NetApp and CommVault announced an OEM relationship whereby CommVault will integrate with NetApp's snapshot technology. The new NetApp SnapProtect product uses CommVault Simpana to add traditional backup and restore capabilities to NetApp's snapshot technologies (SnapManager, SnapMirror, SnapVault). NetApp SnapProtect provides a single management framework for managing NetApp snapshots, SnapMirror, SnapVault and backup schedules. In the past managing NetApp snapshots and host backup required separate processes and tools. Administrators needed to manually keep track of overlap and scheduling between the tools.
The other benefit is driving the traditional backup to tape process off the host or virtual machine to the storage array level, and utilize snapshots. Using SnapProtect, CommVault can restore of individual files, provide data classification and snapshot management through the SnapProtect framework.
