Hitachi Vantara Federal and Commvault: Building the Future of Government Data Management Together

Data Protection  |  October 21, 2024

In today’s rapidly evolving cybersecurity landscape, government organizations face unprecedented data threats. From ransomware attacks to compliance regulations, the need for a resilient, secure, and scalable data management infrastructure has never been greater. This is where the partnership between Hitachi Vantara and Commvault comes into play.

Combining Hitachi Vantara’s industry-leading storage solutions with Commvault’s advanced data management capabilities, this partnership provides government agencies a unified, robust approach to protecting their data across both on-premises and cloud environments. Here’s why government organizations should consider using Hitachi and Commvault together to secure their data and ensure business continuity while preparing for the future of cybersecurity.

Holistic Data Management

Hitachi Vantara and Commvault deliver an end-to-end solution that addresses the entire data lifecycle—from creation to backup and recovery. With Hitachi Data Protection Suite (HDPS) powered by Commvault, data can be managed through a single interface, streamlining data protection across diverse environments. This seamless integration reduces complexity and allows agencies to optimize their resources, ensuring that data is always accessible when needed​.

Strong Cyber Resilience with Immutability

Cybersecurity threats, particularly ransomware attacks, are rising, and government agencies are prime targets. Hitachi Vantara Federal and Commvault offer advanced ransomware protection through multi-layered security. Hitachi Content Platform (HCP) provides immutable storage, ensuring that data cannot be altered or deleted once stored. This adds a critical layer of protection against cyber threats, helping agencies recover quickly and maintain operational integrity​. By utilizing immutable data and WORM (Write Once, Read Many) capabilities, HCP ensures that backups remain unchangeable, even in the face of an attack. This is vital for government agencies tasked with handling sensitive data and maintaining strict compliance​.

Seamless Scalability for Growing Data Needs

As data grows exponentially, particularly in the public sector, the ability to scale while maintaining performance and security becomes critical. Commvault’s HyperScale technology, combined with Hitachi’s cloud-enabled storage architecture, ensures that government agencies can manage large volumes of data efficiently and securely. This flexible and scalable infrastructure enables agencies to adapt to increasing workloads without compromising data protection​.

Advanced Threat Detection and Fast Recovery

Early detection of threats and rapid recovery from incidents are non-negotiable in today’s environment. The partnership offers integrated solutions that use machine learning to detect anomalies and potential cyber threats before they escalate. HDPS povides tools for backup monitoring and honeypotting, which attract and identify attacks early, allowing agencies to remediate before any significant damage occurs​. Moreover, if an attack does occur, government organizations can rely on accelerated recovery options. HDPS enables fast, efficient restoration of data through automated workflows, ensuring that operations can resume quickly.

Compliance and Governance Simplified

Government agencies must comply with data privacy regulations. Hitachi Vantara Federal and Commvault simplify the process by offering comprehensive analytics and reporting tools. These tools allow agencies to gain insight into their data storage, usage, and protection status. This ensures compliance is met and maintained consistently across all data management processes.

Cost Efficiency and Predictable Performance

One of the key benefits of combining Hitachi Vantara and Commvault is the ability to replace outdated, legacy systems with a modern solution that delivers predictable performance and cost efficiency. By consolidating data management under one platform, agencies reduce their reliance on fragmented tools and reduce operational costs while ensuring that all data workloads—whether on-premises, hybrid, or multi-cloud—are protected​.

Conclusion

In an age where cybersecurity threats continue to grow and evolve, it is critical that government agencies adopt solutions that not only protect their data today but also prepare them for the future. The partnership between Hitachi Vantara Federal and Commvault offers a powerful combination of advanced data management, scalable storage solutions, and strong cyber resilience, providing a holistic approach to data protection. By choosing this partnership, agencies can ensure their mission-critical operations are safeguarded, their data is secure, and they are ready for tomorrow’s cybersecurity challenges.
