HyperFlex Systems
Cisco HyperFlex Systems deliver
next-generation hyperconvergence
and end-to-end simplicity for faster IT
deployments, with unified computing,
networking, and storage resources.
Cisco HyperFlex Systems are built on
the Cisco Unified Computing System™
(Cisco UCS®) platform and conform
to data center architecture that
supports traditional, converged, and
hyperconverged systems with common
policies and infrastructure management.
The Cisco HyperFlex HX Data Platform
is a purpose-built, high-performance,
distributed file system delivering a

Powered by Commvault
Software
Commvault software helps you manage
your data with a single, integrated
solution. It delivers management,
protection, and recovery for all the
environments that use Cisco HyperFlex
solutions, including virtualized servers,
large remote and branch offices,
development and test environments,
and virtual desktops. With Commvault
software running on Cisco storage-
dense servers, the solution requires
fewer hardware resources than
traditional backup or point products.
Most important, its integrated application
protection helps ensure consistency
and rapid application recovery, including
precise recovery for a wide range of
applications. You can recover virtual
machines instantly with Commvault Live
Recovery options, including Live Browse,
Live File Restore, and Live VM Restore.
Commvault delivers specific benefits for
environments that are deployed on the
Cisco HyperFlex platform, including the
following areas.

Server virtualization
•
Automation: Today, most servers are
virtualized, with new virtual machines
virtualized, with new virtual machines
being created faster than ever.
Commvault software automatically
detects and classifies new virtual
machines and adds them to the
proper backup policy so that you
never have to worry about whether
your virtual machines are left
unprotected. Commvault software
can also automatically detect idle
virtual machines and safely archive
them to reclaim valuable production
resources. A built-in workflow engine
supports additional administrator-
specified automation.

Scalability: The Cisco HyperFlex
platform makes it easy to scale
out your production environment.
But most data protection solutions
require redesign and often require
new network infrastructure to scale.
Commvault software automatically
balances workloads across multiple
backup servers to deliver the
benefits of a scale-out architecture
for growing data centers. End-
to-end deduplication dramatically
reduces network traffic and storage
space, so your data archive stays
compact and efficient.

Virtual machine–specific support:
Virtualized environments benefit
from data protection that works in
conjunction with them. Integration
with VMware APIs allows you to
avoid installing agents in every
virtual machine. Your backup policy
can be set based on your VMware
metadata. Snap-In for VMware
vSphere can ease management.
Full virtual machine or individual file
restore options can reduce your
recovery time objective (RTO).
