About This Architecture

Enterprise-grade dual-datacenter backup architecture using Commvault with primary Dell HyperScale storage at DCL and secondary HP Apollo HyperScale storage at MoroHub DR site, connected via 2 Gbps WAN link. Master Server, metadata database, and vSphere infrastructure replicate across sites to enable failover, while backup clients stream data to Media Agents across isolated 10.181.1.0/24 and 10.115.191.0/24 segments. Fujitsu Eternus TL260 tape library provides air-gapped offline copies for ransomware protection and long-term retention. This architecture demonstrates enterprise resilience patterns: geographic redundancy, network isolation, immutable backups, and automated DR activation for protected VMware, NAS, databases, and file systems. Fork and customize this diagram to model your own multi-site Commvault deployment, adjust node counts, or swap storage vendors. Consider adding monitoring dashboards or backup policy tiers for production implementations.

How do you design a multi-site Commvault backup architecture with air-gapped tape and automated disaster recovery?

This diagram shows a production Commvault setup spanning DCL primary and MoroHub DR sites, with Dell HyperScale Media Agents as primary storage, HP Apollo nodes as secondary, and a Fujitsu Eternus tape library for immutable air-gapped copies. Master Server and metadata replicate via vSphere, enabling instant failover when DCL becomes unavailable.
