Commvault to acquire Hedvig
By MYBRANDBOOK
Commvault has announced of entering into a definitive agreement to acquire software-defined storage (SDS) innovator, Hedvig, for a total consideration of $225 million, which includes the purchase price and ongoing employee retention.
This move to cloud, and multi cloud environments, together with cloud native applications is driving competitive advantage for companies for all sizes; yet the acceleration of data fragmentation is negatively impacting business outcomes. This rapid data growth, generated from a variety of sources stored both within on-premises environments and in the cloud will continue to create significant governance, security and management challenges.
Crawford Del Prete, President, IDC, says, “Multi cloud data management is a hard problem for customers to solve, and that translates to value. Commvault’s acquisition of Hedvig is an astute strategic move that allows Commvault to differentiate and enhance its offerings - which broadens its addressable market. We believe this increases the value Commvault can bring to these increasingly complex customer problems.”
According to Sanjay Mirchandani, Commvault CEO, “This acquisition demonstrates how Commvault is leading the way towards the intersection of storage and data management. We believe joining Hedvig’s innovative software defined storage capabilities with Commvault’s industry leading data protection reduces fragmentation and leapfrogs other solutions in the market.”
For years, Commvault has evolved its portfolio to focus on helping thousands of long-standing customers of all sizes globally protect, manage and use their data more effectively. This is demonstrated by the 600+PB of data managed by Commvault software in the cloud.
Hedvig drives significant operational efficiency, addresses the data sovereignty problems stemming from data governance laws, and enables hybrid-cloud and multi-cloud capabilities natively. Operational efficiency is achieved via complete protocol consolidation (block, file, and object storage) on a single platform.
Avinash Lakshman, Hedvig CEO, comments, “Being completely software based, the Hedvig platform can span multiple data centers across multiple physical geographies including disparate cloud environments. This may be the most comprehensive solution ever unleashed into enterprise data centers and public cloud environments.”
Hedvig was founded in 2012 by Avinash Lakshman, the inventor of Apache Cassandra and one of the inventors of Amazon Dynamo. The proposed acquisition is expected to close in Commvault’s fiscal third quarter, subject to certain closing conditions. The transaction is expected to be slightly dilutive to Commvault’s FY’20 non-GAAP EPS and accretive to FY’21 non-GAAP EPS.
