CloudWave selects Commvault platform for new cloud backup service
Commvault, which markets enterprise backup, recovery, archive and cloud technology for healthcare, announced at HIMSS17 that its Commvault Data Platform was selected by CloudWave to power that vendor’s new OpSus Backup service. The new healthcare backup service offering – part of the OpSus Healthcare cloud services portfolio – enables healthcare organizations to quickly, easily and securely use the cloud to protect and recover mission-critical application data, the vendors said.
By building the OpSus Backup service on Commvault’s data management platform, CloudWave was able to deliver healthcare enterprises a fully managed backup service that cuts costs while minimizing security, business continuity and regulatory compliance risks, the vendors contended.
OpSus Backup supports healthcare enterprises’ efforts to implement holistic data management strategies that allow them to protect, control and derive more value from all their data, the vendors said. OpSus Backup uses Commvault’s holistic data management platform to backup data on Tier 4 data centers, and encrypt data both in transit and at rest, the vendors explained. Both healthcare enterprise IT staff and CloudWave’s team of healthcare IT experts can use the service to initiate, monitor and maintain backup operations, as well as perform on-demand data restoration on secure landing zones.
“Today many healthcare IT staff are struggling to find the time needed to ensure that their mission-critical data is backed up in full compliance with regulatory requirements,” said Matthew Donahue, chief technology officer at CloudWave.
In selecting a software partner for OpSus Backup, CloudWave carefully evaluated potential partners using a matrix that spanned functionality, compatibility, efficiency and operations, Donahue added, and Commvault met or exceeded the criteria in every category.
CloudWave and Commvault both are exhibiting at HIMSS17, Commvault at Booth 1703 and CloudWave at Booth 3191.
