A Modern Approach to Data Protection with Lenovo ThinkSystem HS350X V3 Storage Server and Commvault Cloud HyperScale™ X Software

Commvault, a global leader in cyber resilience solutions, offers a unified approach to data protection, recoverability, and security. HyperScale X is an intuitive and easy-to-deploy integrated solution with a distributed scale-out file system that provides unmatched scalability, security, and resilience. Its flexible architecture allows you to get up and running quickly and grow as your needs demand. Benefits include:

• Simple, flexible protection and accelerated recoverability for all workloads, on-premises or in the cloud, including containers, virtual, and databases.
• Enhanced, multi-layered ransomware protection with AI-driven anomaly detection to uncover threats faster and immutable storage to prevent critical data from being encrypted, modified, or deleted.
• Optimized scalability to easily grow capacity in single-node increments as needed.
• Advanced storage efficiency and resilience with intelligent load balancing of data across disks and nodes and the ability to support concurrent hardware failures.
• Cost-optimized cloud data mobility with native integration to move data to, from, and between clouds, avoiding vendor lock-in.

By shifting the secondary storage and data management infrastructure to a scale-out architecture, enterprises can help transform their data centers to be as operationally efficient, resilient, and scalable as public cloud infrastructure. HyperScale X allows organizations to replace limited and legacy backup tools with a modern hybrid-cloud-enabled data management solution that eliminates expensive forklift upgrades.

The Lenovo ThinkSystem HS350X V3 storage server provides the right mix of storage density and performance to support a wide range of workloads in a simple, optimal solution.

• Flexible: Optimized for flexible storage configurations with multiple drive options and supporting up to 24x 3.5” drives in the front.
• Efficient: Supports one 5th or 4th generation Intel Xeon Scalable Processor and DDR5 memory DIMMs to maximize the performance of the memory subsystem.
• Reliable: Lenovo's reputation for reliability is embedded in the Lenovo ThinkSystem HS350X V3 storage server, providing continuous operations and minimizing downtime.
• Innovative Design: The three-tray design allows easy access to the hot swap drives without powering off the server.
