The CommVault division at Workgroup has announced that CommVault has joined The Green Grid, a global consortium dedicated to advancing energy efficiency in datacenters and business computing ecosystems.
“The Green Grid is chartered to develop industry-wide standards, measuring methods, processes and new technologies to improve overall data centre and business computing energy efficiencies,” says Stephen Moore, CommVault product manager at Workgroup.
“CommVault Simpana 7.0 enables data management efficiency by addressing multiple enterprise data needs with a single, unified approach,” he says. CommVault helps reduce data center energy consumption and associated costs by providing technology that maximizes existing IT investments and reduces raw storage.
He goes on to say that customers can implement CommVault Simpana software to eliminate redundant copies of data for backup, archive and replication. This results in extending enterprise IT investments to maximize cost efficiencies and minimize data center demands.
“CommVault Simpana also enables IT administrators to report and gain visibility into the data scattered across the enterprise,” says Moore. After running reports and analyzing the results, IT can create policies to optimize their tiered storage infrastructure by defining levels of service across tiers of storage that optimize storage utilization and cut costs.
As power, space and cooling requirements continue to grow in datacenters worldwide, CommVault’s participation in The Green Grid, demonstrates its continued commitment to advancing greater energy efficiency within data centers.
As a member of The Green Grid, CommVault will collaborate to develop best practices that help customers increase storage efficiencies, eliminate redundant copies of data and reduce power, cooling and floor space requirements.
