Release Details

OCEANPORT, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 14, 2008--CommVault(R) (NASDAQ: CVLT) today announced that it has been recognized by leading analyst group, Gartner, Inc., with a "Promising" rating in Gartner's inaugural "MarketScope for E-Discovery and Litigation Support Vendors, 2007" report published December 14, 2007(1). According to the report, "(t)he e-discovery market includes products and services that allow electronically stored information (ESI) of all types to be identified, preserved, collected, processed, reviewed, produced and managed over a period of time."

CommVault Archive and Search, two modules that are part of the CommVault Simpana(TM) 7.0 software suite, allow customers to archive and discover data while controlling data growth, reducing costs and managing risks associated with non-compliance.

CommVault's Archive and Search capabilities help customers capture, investigate, discover and disclose information simply and securely. With newly adopted changes to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP), organizations are realizing that ESI is no longer limited to just email. CommVault Archive allows for retention policies to be defined in one application and can span different data types and repositories. This ensures that proper data retention and disposition is managed, but more importantly, in the event of litigation allows for a legal retention hold to be placed across relevant data from within one user interface.

Gartner's MarketScope notes that "(s)pending on electronic discovery (e-discovery) software technologies and services offerings is forecast to grow at more than 35 percent annually through 2011." The report further provides that "(e)nterprises purchasing e-discovery software can reduce the costs of litigation by improving their control over unstructured content, including e-mail. Also, they can cut costs and risks by taking control of litigation hold, litigation hold-tracking, file collection, file processing and legal review instead of outsourcing these functions."

"More and more corporate and legal organizations are choosing CommVault Simpana(TM) software for its ability to mitigate organizational risk by providing comprehensive search and discovery across an organization's information," said Dave West, vice president of marketing and business development, CommVault. "In my opinion, CommVault's positioning in the Gartner MarketScope for e-Discovery and Litigation Support Vendors is strong confirmation of our expanding position in the archive, compliance and e-discovery marketplace."

As organizations evaluate the offerings of vendors in this market, CommVault Archive and Search software offers several key advantages inherent in CommVault's Singular Information Management(TM) approach. A powerful, yet simple single platform methodology allows organizations to quickly address the mounting requirements for long-term data retention and compliance management, so that customers benefit from unparalleled ease-of-administration, enterprise-class scalability and reduced overall cost and complexity.
