Commvault HyperScale X

Commvault HyperScale X is a scale-out infrastructure solution that simplifies hybrid cloud data protection. It combines flexibility, scalability, and security to support diverse workloads across on-premises and cloud environments.

Key Features

  • Flexible protection: Supports containers, virtual machines, databases, and other workloads.
  • Scalable architecture: Expands seamlessly with growing data needs, on-premises or in the cloud.
  • Built-in security: Provides trusted protection, including ransomware defense.

Storage Pool Management

HyperScale X software enables the creation of storage pools for protected data.

  • Initial configuration: Requires three similarly configured nodes.
  • Expansion: Storage pools can be scaled by adding individual nodes or multi-node increments.
  • Optimized nodes: Each node is provisioned with resources to support all MediaAgent services, ensuring performance and resiliency.
  • Unified management: Provides a single interface to create, monitor, and manage storage pools and HyperScale X nodes.

Platform Resiliency

The HyperScale X platform ensures high resiliency through architectural design and best practices:

  • Distributed services: A distributed deduplication database and index cache enhance application-level resilience.
  • Scale-out architecture: Built with standard servers that include redundant hardware components.
  • Erasure coding (4+2):
    • Each data block is divided into four data chunks and two parity chunks.
    • Chunks are distributed across multiple nodes.
    • Provides tolerance against multiple hardware failures.
  • Best practices:
    • Mirrored root disks.
    • Separate subnets/VLANs for public data protection and private storage pool traffic.
    • Bonded network interfaces to improve node-level resiliency.

Deployment Models

HyperScale X is available in two deployment models:

HyperScale X Appliance

  • Delivered pre-imaged with HyperScale X software.
  • Requires only site-specific configuration (such as networking) at the customer location.
  • Commvault provides end-to-end support for both hardware and software.

HyperScale X Reference Architecture

  • Delivered as reference architecture servers.
  • HyperScale X software is installed on-site after server rack and stack.
  • Commvault provides support for the software stack.
  • Hardware support is provided directly by the server vendor.
