Cleveland Indians Hit a Grand Slam with CommVault Simpana Software
News Facts
-
As one of the top five most technically advanced clubs in
Major League Baseball , the Cleveland Indians have deployed CommVault® Simpana® software to maximize the availability and reliability of more than 18TBs of online video and operational data across its virtualized infrastructure. -
The
Cleveland Indians were among one of the first teams in
Major League Baseball to develop a state-of-the-art video system to capture nearly 2,600 games played by all teams throughout the season for use in training and advanced scouting. -
In addition to its sophisticated video database, the team also relies
heavily on
Microsoft SharePoint, Exchange and SQL Server to support financial, retail and back-office applications, as well asVMware to improve server utilization. -
When its previous
Symantec software couldn’t keep pace with its burgeoning backup and recovery demands, the Cleveland Indians switched toCommVault software. By doing so, the team now leverages CommVault’s 64-bit architecture and Singular Information Management® approach to data management. The team claims that this allows their IT department to significantly improve application performance and cut unnecessary administrative overhead from 45 minutes a day to less than 30 minutes a week.
Simpana Software Covers the Bases while Keeping Pace with Rapid Data Growth

With CommVault Simpana Backup software and tight integration with
NetApp , the Cleveland Indians have reportedly slashed the team’s backup window in half. Also, according to the team it now takes less than five minutes to restore a video clip that once took more than an hour to locate and retrieve. -
As storage requirements continue to double, server utilization plays
an increasingly important role. Using Simpana software to manage its
48
VMware systems helps the team increase data availability, better utilize its existing disk-to-disk-to-tape infrastructure and eliminate the need to deploy additional, expensive primary storage, thereby reducing additional hardware costs. -
The ability to manage all
CommVault functionality from a centralized console enables the team to do more with its data, in less time and with significantly less administrative overhead. -
Plans to activate additional
CommVault modules and features in the Simpana platform include Simpana Deduplication and Replication software to support remote disaster recovery at the team’s spring training facility inGoodyear, Arizona .
