There is a blurring line between primary and secondary data. With this paradigm shift, the expectations from secondary data to be resourceful and to drive value have also come in. That is why Commvault’s latest acquisition, Hedvig changes this game; it integrates the software-defined storage capabilities with the Commvault’s industry-leading solution. Similarly, with Metallic Commvault brought in a powerful, impactful and cutting edge solution through a simple SaaS delivery.
