Nutanix has announced the availability of Nutanix Mine with Commvault. Nutanix and Commvault have had a longstanding partnership over the last six years.

Commvault was the first partner to provide data protection as a simple, secure, and transformative reality for our joint customers. Data protection has become a global IT directive across countries, industries, and organizations that are busy responding to the rapid shift of remote work and rising cyber threats. That is why the most recently engineered solution provides a simple yet intelligent data protection platform that delivers efficient backup and recovery services no matter where your data resides so that you can keep your business up and running under all circumstances.

All these new age applications have also resulted in data explosion and fragmentation. With the exponential growth of cloud computing, mobile applications, IOT, EUC, and remote work in recent years, infrastructure complexity has increased many folds. Another emerging challenge today is protecting against the ever increasing ransomware attacks. There has been a 146% increase in ransomware attacks since February 2020. While the premium associated with all this data is at an all-time high, it is an arduous task to protect it given the proliferation of data types, dependency on staffing resources, and data silos that prevent you from accessing all your data and acting on it.

Good data stewardship is not going away. Businesses will continue to face planned and unplanned interruptions and stringent compliance regulations must be met. In fact, organizations need to double down on their data protection efforts by adopting modern solutions that are simple to manage without requiring specialization, provide global visibility and manageability of data, perform at scale, and provide built-in security against cyber threats.

In this short video, Nutanix shows a sneak peek at Nutanix Mine v3 featuring Commvault which implements Nutanix Objects for Backup Storage rather than Nutanix Volumes. This allows them to leverage the benefits of Nutanix Objects, such as WORM ransomware protection, Objects scale-out, and Objects replication for the backup workloads.
