approximately 4,300 students. In order to ensure adherence
with federal compliance mandates, the district reviewed
several competitive solutions before concluding that only

management needs.

making better business decisions and adhering to strict
regulatory compliance requirements," said Jeffrey Janover,

architecture, which allows us to organize data in ways we
couldn't before. We now have that 'single pane of glass' view,
which helps us manage our data across all tiers of our storage
system. CommVault software provides us with instant access to
our information quickly and easily, giving us the confidence
that our data will be available when and where we need it."
Microsoft Exchange Server 2008 Integration Drives Cardinal Logistics' Investment Decision in CommVault
-- Cardinal Logistics Management Corporation is the premier
provider of third-party transportation management and
dedicated delivery services. With customers that include many
of the Fortune 500, Cardinal Logistics Management Corporation
relies on up-to-date technologies to stay ahead of its
competition. As such, Cardinal Logistics Management
Corporation was looking for a data management solution that
offered the ability to rapidly upgrade to some of the newest
Microsoft technologies, while still providing access to
information stored on legacy and older systems. After
evaluating several competitors including Symantec, Cardinal
Logistics Management Corporation chose CommVault to protect
the data housed on their Exchange environment.
-- "We were impressed with CommVault Simpana 7.0's tight,
seamless integration with the Microsoft Exchange Server
environment," said Marty Hurd, network administrator for
Cardinal Logistics Management Corporation. "Before
implementing the CommVault solution the sheer volume of email
in our Exchange Server slowed performance and threatened to
impact our end-user productivity. We needed a solution with a
proven track record supporting the Microsoft platform and
CommVault's software was reliable, easy to manage, and
cost-effective."
InfoReliance Relies on CommVault Simpana over Competitive Solutions for Complete Data Protection Management
-- InfoReliance is a rapidly growing IT firm that builds, deploys
and manages custom, Web-based software solutions that
transform the business operations of federal government and

technology investments by providing exceptional IT counsel,
first-class products and services and on-time, on-budget
implementations. InfoReliance relies on CommVault Simpana
software to deliver reliable, cost-effective and secure data
management.
-- "Data protection has many roles within the enterprise. While
backup and recovery protects day-to-day productivity, the
CommVault Simpana suite takes it one step further helping our
customers throughout the federal government to protect against
legal liability, reduce human error, and maximize IT
investments," said John Chirhart, consultant, InfoReliance.
"CommVault Simpana 7.0 makes my job easier, and is the only
software that allows me the ability to easily secure my data,
and my customers' data at every level of its lifecycle.
There's no competitive solution I trust more than the
CommVault Simpana suite since it makes my life easier from
both a management and security standpoint."
Cision North America Selects CommVault for Flexible, End-to-End Data Management Solution
-- Cision North America, headquartered in Chicago, IL, is the
leading global provider of media monitoring, research,

solution that would provide immediate benefits today, as well
as support our future growth," said Dan Wons, vice president,
Networking Infrastructure for Cision North America. "We needed
a solution that addressed all our data management needs, not
