Commvault has helped us reduce our data management costs significantly. Compared to Dell Avamar, the costs are vastly different. Commvault is much more cost-effective. We are licensed by capacity, so we don't have to worry about licensing different features. We have all the features that are licensed by capacity. And as far as ongoing support costs and other expenses, they are much lower than what they were with Dell Avamar. Commvault also gives us the flexibility to use any storage we want, while Avamar is tied to the Data Domain, which is not cheap to support.

Commvault Cloud cuts operational expenses by eliminating the need for on-premise software installations, and its integration with multiple cloud storage providers allows us to leverage the most cost-effective options for our backups.

I would assess the flexibility of Commvault Cloud in supporting cloud-based and on-premises deployments by saying that the components more or less remain the same. It depends on how many workloads that we are running onto the cloud. Whether to use production or whether to use Commvault solutions for the production workloads or take them to the non-production. We typically look for how much data storage that we need to protect via Commvault. Whether we are achieving a business case and bringing in cost-saving for the customer if the data size is too high from the non-production workloads as well. We typically go on and propose to the customer to leverage Commvault for the non-production workloads as well.
