Huawei is extending its collaboratiion with data backup specialist Commvault to create a joint lab in Chengdu, China that will be used to develop data backup, recovery, archive and cloud solutions based on both companies technologies.
In addition to ensuring full compatibility between the companies’ latest products, work at the lab will focus on incubating, testing and demonstrating cloud backup, Data Protection-as-a-Service and other innovative solutions that extend the companies’ ability to address their customers’ critical data protection and management needs.
The joint lab further expands Huawei and Commvault’s strong partnership, which was initially established three years ago when Huawei agreed to distribute Commvault’s software with Huawei OceanStor data storage systems. After that initial agreement, Huawei and Commvault collaborated to create an integrated offering with bundled service agreements. More recently, Huawei and Commvault started to collaborate for the Huawei Cloud Data Center Offerings, which include Data Protection-as-a-Service capabilities.
