Customers Gain Unparalleled Control Over Their Data Through

Comprehensive Storage Reporting and Resource Management

OCEANPORT, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 20, 2008--Responding to storage administrator's demands for solutions that simplify storage operations, CommVault (NASDAQ: CVLT) today announced an updated version of CommVault(R) Storage Manager, one of five core modules in the CommVault(R) Simpana(R) software suite. With new, heterogeneous support for several platforms and applications, CommVault Storage Manager 7.0 identifies data types, growth trends, and cost metrics across complex heterogeneous environments, allowing users to adopt a proactive approach to tracking and analyzing data with intuitive information management capabilities. By improving the breadth and depth of this latest offering and ability to optimize tiered storage infrastructures by leveraging the entire CommVault Simpana software suite, CommVault is widening the gap between CommVault Storage Manager and conventional storage resource management (SRM) and reporting products.

"The first step towards making our Singular Information Management solution a reality is understanding your data, where it resides, how much it costs to manage and store, as well as the value it brings to your organization," said Michael Marchi, vice president Product and Segment Marketing, CommVault. "CommVault Storage Manager gives customers the tools they need to better understand how storage resources are being utilized. Using CommVault's SRM software, customers can address the increasing requirements to lower storage management costs and improve data availability and system performance."

The newest version of CommVault Storage Manager 7.0 offers robust management capabilities across heterogeneous environments with exceptional scalability. In addition to extensive heterogeneous platform support which includes Microsoft Windows and Microsoft 64-bit technologies, Novell NetWare, Solaris, HP-UX, and AIX, CommVault Storage Manager extends support for the latest Linux versions, including Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and SUSE Linux Enterprise 10. CommVault Storage Manager also adds significant new NAS reporting capabilities for EMC Celerra and the latest NetApp (ONTAP) storage systems. Storage Manager 7.0 software enables IT to implement consistent usage policies across platforms, applications, geographies and departments to provide customers the broadest choice in platforms and applications available today.

CommVault Storage Manager is designed to help customers reduce the time spent each week reporting on IT performance, trends, costs, backups and/or utilization. "We expect that customers could see a 30 percent reduction in the time spent on reporting on their IT environment through the use of our SRM software," added Marchi. Upon deploying Storage Manager, customers benefit from the ability to reclaim wasted storage, track trends and optimize storage utilization to reduce storage spending, working heterogeneously across all platforms and applications.

According to Noemi Greyzdorf, research manager with IDC's Storage Software group, "Storage resource management can no longer be thought of as a standalone product but rather an integral component of any unified data management suite. SRM provides the necessary visibility to simplify the task of managing storage and data resources in today's complex environments. The ease of deployment and integration across the CommVault Simpana 7.0 software suite has enabled CommVault Storage Manager to gain traction and to position itself for growth in response to market demands for greater integration of storage and data management products."
