FAQs

What problem does Commvault solve with OpenShift Virtualization?

Enterprises want to modernize infrastructure by moving VMs onto Kubernetes platforms like Red Hat OpenShift, but enterprise-grade data protection is a gating requirement. Commvault’s GA release provides production-ready backup, granular recovery, compliance controls, and cyber resilience for VMs on OpenShift.

How does this compare to native OpenShift snapshots?

Native snapshots provide point-in-time copies but lack enterprise recovery orchestration, compliance controls, long-term retention, and cyber-resilience. Commvault provides deeper VM recovery

How do I get started with OpenShift Virtualization protection?

OpenShift Virtualization support is available as part of the Commvault platform for versions 11.42 and above. For Commvault Cloud (SaaS), enable OpenShift Virtualization protection within your existing tenant and connect supported clusters. For self-managed software, deploy access nodes with connectivity to OpenShift clusters and configure workloads in Command Center.

What is the pricing model for OpenShift Virtualization support?

Pricing aligns with Commvault’s existing VM and Kubernetes data protection offerings. There is no standalone OpenShift Virtualization SKU or surcharge—customers extend their existing Commvault entitlements to cover OpenShift VM workloads.
