Introduction

Wasabi recognizes that most of our customers use our service as part of a broader solution that includes a wide variety of storage applications, gateways, and other storage platforms. In support of our customer’s storage solution ecosystem, Wasabi continually tests and certifies a range of storage related products for use with our service. This application note describes how to use the Commvault platform with the Wasabi ser-vice.

You can configure the Commvault data management tool to use Wasabi storage. This document provides the required configuration and procedures to make the Wasabi S3 interface work with the Commvault applica-tion. This document does not describe details about the application installation, but instead assumes that:

The product being tested for interoperability with Wasabi is already installed in the user’s environment.

The user is familiar with AWS S3 interface concepts, and how to create a storage bucket and access/secret key set on Wasabi.

The information in this application note was verified by the Wasabi Performance and Certification Team (PACT) using the Wasabi service in July 2017 and Commvault Commcell Console, version 11.
