CommVault to power Tech Mahindra backup-as-a-service

CommVault recently announced that Tech Mahindra has chosen CommVault’s backup solution to power its “Backup-as-a-Service” offerings for its alliances community.

Tech Mahindra has decided to work with CommVault’s Cloud Solutions Group (CSG) and the Simpana 10 platform based on the capabilities to make additional functionality easily available. These elements support Tech Mahindra’s global alliances as its partners expand into the provisioning of a variety of managed service offerings.

According to Karthi Chandramouli, global practice head, Cloud Strategic Unit at Tech Mahindra, “CommVault is the industry leader in backup provisioning, and offers a complete data management solution that will support our ongoing strategy to add differentiated value to our alliances community. The ability of CommVault’s Simpana software platform to support multiple revenue stream opportunities, without the need for dedicated infrastructure stacks, means greater efficiency and flexibility for our service provider alliances offerings.”

With CommVault software, Tech Mahindra can now offer Web-based self-service portals, workflow automation, efficient data movement, and rapid protection of virtual workloads - across backup, archive, disaster recovery, and search – with a single software platform and leveraging shared infrastructure, to their service provider partners.

“The partnership is crucial and strategic, taking into account the specific technology and business needs of Tech Mahindra’s global alliances looking to make the transition to become true managed service providers,” said Paul McClure, chief technologist, cloud solutions group at CommVault.

Tech Mahindra will also utilize CommVault’s cloud consultancy best practices and expertise to establish a Cloud Solutions Center of Excellence in their Bengaluru facility.
