Pros
"Commvault is a user-friendly tool, so most people are happy to adopt this solution.""Some customers have chosen this solution for its features, benefits, and user-friendly interface."

More Commvault Distributed Storage [EOL] Pros →

"A custom IBM script is designed to tackle the storage management challenges within containerized environments, providing crucial data services and features required for enterprise applications.""The best thing about Portworx is the Stork, they have called the VPS (Volume Replacement Strategy) and they also have topology awareness, and these are the three features I like.""The solution is user-friendly.""Portworx is a simple solution. It's similar to Pure Storage products. They're all easy to use and install. You need to have a little expertise with containers to use Portworx, but it will be no problem for you if you understand containers.""Portworx virtualizes the aspects of the underlying block storage. That is good because they can also use block storage for their future deployment instead of just NFS.""I like that you have a small dedicated file system that is fast and resilient for containerized workloads."

Cons
"NAS backups and BNP protocol backups could be improved. We require some more advanced features. I would also like some features that would enable us to deploy faster, like an orchestrator or something.""The solution does not support some cloud SaaS applications and has room for improvement with better integration to the storage array."

More Commvault Distributed Storage [EOL] Cons →

"The integration has room for improvement.""It would be highly advantageous to include an integrated backup solution within the same license, rather than purchasing backup separately.""I think the vendor could provide more training for new users who may not be familiar with containers.""They have not integrated Portworx with Ondat since they are too focused now on Pure Storage APIs and not on users like us.""I would like to see a more native mapping to mainframe-type systems.""The documentation could be better."

    Overview

    Commvault® Distributed Storage delivers a modern, distributed approach to storing and protecting data on premises and in the cloud. CDS provides resilient yet simple distributed architecture for all modern workloads. Organizations can now have the predictability to grow with changing business requirements, converging digital services across both private and public cloud infrastructure to maximize their flexibility and overcome the rigidity and poor economics of traditional storage.

    Commvault® Distributed Storage natively spans multiple racks, datacenters, or sites across geographies and public cloud environments. It is truly software-defined, transforming commodity hardware into the most advanced storage solution available today for any hypervisor, application, or container environment.

    Commvault Distributed Storage Features:

    Predictable: Scale-out provides predictable performance, scale, and costs, giving you the flexibility you need as your business evolves. Automated and dynamic storage provisioning, integration with container orchestrators, and the ability to enable portable, persistent storage for containers with easy migration of applications between data center and public cloud helps you accelerate DevOps and drive innovation.

    Resilient: The distributed systems architecture distributes data across multiple locations – from on-premises data centers to the cloud – as it’s written. This distributed write maximizes availability and protects data from hardware failures from a single disk to an entire site, improving disaster recovery planning.

    Simple: Whether your data is on-premises or in the cloud, across block, file, or object storage, you can manage all of it with a single storage platform with a simplified presentation layer. The platform caters to specific workload needs with unique provisioning policies to ensure workload availability across environments while enabling the right storage technology (deduplication, compression, encryption, etc.) for the application.

    Portworx is the solution for running stateful containers in production, designed with DevOps in mind. With Portworx, users can manage any database or stateful service on any infrastructure using any container scheduler, including Kubernetes, Mesosphere DC/OS, and Docker Swarm. Portworx solves the five most common problems DevOps teams encounter when running stateful services in production: persistence, high availability, data automation, security, and support for multiple data stores and infrastructure.
