Commvault's scale-out appliance: nodes adding capacity and power, erasure coding and immutability — backup infrastructure without a design project.
HyperScale X is the reference infrastructure for the Commvault data plane: an appliance (or reference architecture on certified iron) with distributed storage, erasure coding and native immutability. Three nodes to start, grow by adding bricks: no dedicated SAN, no media servers to design, fault resilience included.
No LUNs, no zoning, no re-sizing marathons: the pool is the product.
Nodes update one at a time: backup doesn't stop for firmware.
Disks and nodes can drop: erasure coding rebuilds, service continues.
More data? More nodes. Capacity and bandwidth grow together, no steps.
Every node brings CPU, RAM, disks and network; the distributed filesystem writes with configurable erasure coding across nodes: efficiency stays high (no 3x replicas) and tolerance covers disks and whole nodes; global deduplication runs on the pool; immutability blocks deletions and rewrites for the set retention even against a compromised administrator; the same architecture is available as a reference on HPE, Dell and others.
Backup rethought: single, scalable pool.
Out with the fragile legacy: modern appliance.
Small clusters at the edge, replication to the core.
