Commvault IntelliSnap technology integrates directly with enterprise primary storage hardware snapshot engines (such as HPE Primera, 3PAR, and Alletra arrays) to orchestrate rapid, hardware-accelerated application protection without putting I/O stress on production hosts. For complex enterprise database environments—such as Oracle, Microsoft SQL, and SAP HANA—IntelliSnap coordinates application quiescing with storage-level snapshot capture.

Beyond creating application-consistent snapshots, IntelliSnap catalogs and indexes snapshot contents to produce searchable, indexed recovery copies. Additionally, when provisioning database clones for development, testing, or analytics workflows, IntelliSnap can execute data transformation scripts and static data masking. This sanitizes sensitive fields (such as PII or financial records) while preserving transactional database integrity for non-production environments.
