Readers Rank CommVault Simpana Software Suite as Best Automation/Compliance Tool

OCEANPORT, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 9, 2008--CommVault (NASDAQ:CVLT):

  • CommVault (NASDAQ:CVLT) today announced that its Simpana(R) 7.0 software suite has been named the winner in the Automation/Compliance Tool category of the Third Annual ServerWatch.com Product Excellence Awards, making this the seventh industry award CommVault(R) Simpana software has garnered since its introduction in July 2007.
  • ServerWatch.com polled its readers to determine which vendors are most deserving of praise in each technology category. The results serve as an industry benchmark on how technology products are perceived.
  • The Simpana software suite, widely adopted by IT organizations around the globe, is an industry-leading information management platform for the enterprise. Designed to integrate backup, recovery, replication, search and archive operations into a single platform, CommVault Simpana software allows companies to manage, access and recover data holistically, regardless of format or location, and provides specific active archiving solutions to preserve and retain data with audit for compliance and eDiscovery purposes.
  • With archive, content indexing and search capabilities, Simpana software helps organizations to control data growth, reduce costs and mitigate risks associated with non-compliance. Customers using Simpana software can easily and proactively manage unstructured data and email and automate traditional manual processes to meet regulatory compliance and data retention requirements, as well as facilitate requests for eDiscovery, per US Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP) amendments.
  • Unlike conventional products, CommVault's unique Single Information Management(R) approach offers users a powerful, yet simple-to-manage single platform from which to control data, rather than multiple point products, allowing organizations to quickly address compliance requirements for long-term data retention and management.
  • In related announcements, CommVault also recently introduced a new Legal Hold capability that spans both archive and backup stores to help ensure information is preserved. Legal Hold helps customers maintain a legally defensible audit trail to reduce the risks associated with non-compliance with federal and industry regulations.
