CommVault Granted Four New Patents for Simpana Software Suite
Leveraging the CommVault Simpana suite's single set of backend services, CommNet Service Manager and Storage Manager together provide a unified view of primary and secondary information management resources throughout the enterprise. Data protection operations are monitored against a single metric to greatly simplify administration, while detailed analysis of all information under management allows users to easily reclaim wasted storage, manage capacity and improve storage utilization.
"Since we develop all of our software in-house, intellectual property is a key asset for CommVault and the issuance of these four United States patents in addition to the rest of our portfolio demonstrates CommVault's leadership in the area of data and information management," said Marcus Muller, CommVault's Intellectual Property Counsel. "Pursuing patent protection is a long term process that complements the strategic vision of the Company. These patents validate CommVault's significant and ongoing investment in our intellectual property."
