Air Gap Protect uses cloud provider storage with built-in redundancy across multiple locations to help ensure data durability and availability. This page compares how each storage tier is implemented across supported cloud providers, including durability, redundancy, and performance characteristics.
Note
- AGP Archive class is not supported in 11.40 and older releases of Commvault.
- Storage tier names are Commvault designations and might not correspond to the names used by the storage providers.
- Durability values are based on storage provider SLAs:
- Performance values are typical and might vary based on workload and configuration.
Multi-AZ redundancy is limited to Availability Zones within the same AWS region, ensuring high durability without cross-region data transfer or egress costs.
