Cloud-native backups differ from traditional backups by being specifically designed for cloud environments, offering scalability, automation, and integration with cloud platforms. Traditional backups are typically designed for physical servers or legacy data centers, often lacking the scalability and efficiency needed to manage modern cloud-based data volumes effectively. Cloud-native backups leverage cloud-native features and technologies, providing a more agile and cost-effective approach to data protection.

Audit logging in Commvault contributes to data management by offering visibility into who accesses data and when, helping organizations monitor and control data access effectively. This visibility is essential for ensuring data governance, compliance, and security, as it allows administrators to track and audit user activities, detect anomalies, and respond promptly to potential threats or unauthorized access attempts. In summary, audit logging enhances data management by providing transparency and accountability regarding data access and usage.

Commvault's integration with various cloud platforms enhances its capabilities in providing comprehensive protection for virtual machines, ensuring flexibility and scalability.

Compliance regulations often mandate organizations to maintain detailed records of backup activities, including information about what data was backed up, when, and by whom, to ensure data integrity and legal compliance.

Capacity planning plays a vital role in resource optimization by helping organizations allocate resources efficiently. By forecasting future resource needs and identifying potential bottlenecks, organizations can ensure that resources such as storage, processing power, and network bandwidth are utilized optimally. This leads to improved performance, reduced operational costs, and better alignment with business objectives.

Real-time monitoring dashboards in Commvault help identify performance bottlenecks by providing insights into resource utilization. This information enables administrators to optimize resource allocation, ensuring smooth operations and efficient use of infrastructure.

Commvault ensures the integrity of data transferred via secure protocols by implementing checksums and data validation mechanisms. These techniques help verify the accuracy and completeness of data during transmission, reducing the risk of data corruption or tampering. By prioritizing data integrity over speed and utilizing modern encryption standards, Commvault enhances the security and reliability of data transfers.

Real-time monitoring dashboards can fulfill this requirement by generating historical backup usage reports. These reports provide valuable insights into how the backup infrastructure is utilized over time, including trends, peak usage periods, and resource allocation needs, aiding in strategic planning and optimization efforts.

Commvault's reporting options enable users to generate reports based on data and events, providing insights into data usage and system activities.

Commvault's application-aware backup feature ensures transactional consistency across mailbox databases by coordinating backups with Exchange Server services. This ensures that all components of Exchange, including mailbox data, metadata, and transaction logs, are backed up cohesively, facilitating data consistency and recoverability in Exchange environments.
