The ECS object storage model removes the hurdles of multiple backup copies, management overhead, application reconfiguration, and data migration, supporting a more focused backup and archive strategy.
ECS is a multipurpose, software-defined, cloud-scale object storage platform that delivers the ease-of-use and economics of the public cloud without the data sovereignty and security concerns. ECS features native multi-tenancy to deliver backup and archiving-as-a-service that can support multiple tenants and applications on a single, easy-to-manage cloud-storage platform. ECS brings the cost profile, simplicity, and scale of public cloud services to everyone with the trust, reliability, and the level of support expected from Dell Technologies.
Commvault software is a comprehensive information protection and preservation platform that offers advanced features like OnePass. OnePass converges backup, archive, and reporting operations into a single job, maximizing efficiency while minimizing impact on production. Accessible through a single console, OnePass provides automated policies that manage data in the ContentStore—the efficient, virtual repository that provides a flexible and efficient way to store, access, and understand data. Content-based retention through the Reference Copy feature takes advantage of ContentStore intelligence to store only data that is valuable to the business.

Commvault provides a proven software solution with intelligent policy-based data management, monitoring, and reporting.
