-- QiNetix 6.1 Provides Unified Data Management Solution for Novell NetWare and Open Enterprise Server SUSE Linux --

OCEANPORT, N.J. — May 9, 2006 — CommVault®, a provider of Unified Data Management™ solutions, today announced that it has introduced active migration of data for Novell NetWare server systems in its QiNetix™ 6.1 software suite. This capability reduces the amount of active data residing on primary storage, freeing primary storage to protect more business-critical data, increasing its useful life to the enterprise and reducing the time required to protect and recover NetWare data.

Through the QiNetix 6.1 unified data management solution, CommVault provides integrated backup, recovery and active migration of Novell NetWare data as well as object-level protection for eDirectory objects, including users and trees. CommVault also enables users to manage and protect data on Open Enterprise Server (OES) SUSE Linux with SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) and Novell Storage Services (NSS) volumes and properties on OES and SLES9 systems. Data protected on NetWare today can be restored into OES, ensuring the availability of critical information as customers retire and repurpose older systems.

For CommVault users evaluating OES and SUSE Linux and NetWare users looking for a migration path from NetWare 6.5, CommVault QiNetix 6.1 for Novell Open Enterprise Server SUSE Linux provides unified control with one console, a combined index, and support for device sharing in mixed NetWare, Open Enterprise Server and SUSE Linux environments.

CommVault QiNetix 6.1 for Novell adds key operating advantages and cost savings:

• The OES migration path enables NetWare users to maintain compliance with data retention regulations by simplifying the recovery of data from retired systems.
• Users are able to retain NetWare attributes in their data files, easing migration to OES.
• Active migration of NetWare data saves users money by reducing the amount of active data residing on primary storage, freeing primary storage to protect more critical data, increasing its useful life, and reducing the operational costs of protecting and recovering NetWare data.

University of New Mexico Hospitals Choose CommVault QiNetix for Novell
"For our heterogeneous environment, we chose CommVault's software because it included support for Novell," said Mike Campbell, director of PC systems and support, University of New Mexico Hospitals. "We use CommVault to manage the data in our heterogeneous environment, which includes approximately 60 Novell servers running a variety of clinical applications as well as GroupWise, eDirectory, iFolder, EGuide and Virtual Office. We are moving to OES, primarily to support applications," Campbell continued. "Our vision for OES is to migrate all our Novell services to OES, running on a Linux kernel. Using CommVault works well to ease management of this combined environment, and the single user interface simplifies administration. We have more than 3,000 GroupWise mailboxes and five post offices. With CommVault's solution we are able to recover a post office in an hour or two, and a single e-mail message within minutes, compared to days with our old software."

CommVault QiNetix 6.1 and Novell — simplified data management, clear migration path
"With QiNetix 6.1, Novell users can be assured that a clear migration path to Novell Open Enterprise Server and SUSE Linux will include superior data protection and availability," said William Hurley, senior analyst, Data Mobility Group. "CommVault QiNetix makes it simple for administrators migrating to OES to improve data management and realize the total cost of ownership benefits of consolidation to a shared storage infrastructure that offers comprehensive data protection for heterogeneous environments."

A CommVault- and Novell-sponsored on-demand webinar event, which illustrates the value of CommVault software for Novell NetWare and OES SUSE Linux environments, is available now on www.commvault.com.
