CommVault Continues to Increase Penetration into Valuable Enterprise Markets in ChinaBEIJING, Feb 25, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- In order to help enterprise customers in China better manage and derive greater value from growing amounts of data, Robert Hammer, CEO of CommVault Systems, Inc, is visiting Beijing to announce that CommVault (NASDAQ:CVLT) is focused on increasing its investment in China and helping Chinese customers achieve singular information management by offering innovative CommVault(R) technologies and solutions; this is Mr. Hammer's second visit to China. His appearance highlights CommVault's dedication to the Chinese market place and its commitment to serve its Chinese customers on a long-term basis.

"The explosion of electronic information in China is complicating data management and enterprises are facing severe challenges," said Mr. Hammer. "As a leading provider of data and information management software, we at CommVault are committed to serving our Chinese customers as efficiently as possible and are in this for the long-term. CommVault will continue its investment in the Chinese market place and promote both our technology and distribution channel."

In recent years, CommVault has expanded its presence in China, establishing offices in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. In 2006, CommVault partnered with Beijing Toyou Feiji Electronics Co. Ltd. and ECS Technology (China) Ltd. to build and manage CommVault's channel. After two years of operations, CommVault is now building a strong customer base across leading industries including finance, government, telecom, Internet, education, petro-chemical, and manufacturing among others.

Building on CommVault's proven market success with its unique, singular approach to data protection, replication and archive, CommVault launched the Simpana(R) 7.0 software suite in July of 2007. The release of CommVault's Simpana software redefined the way companies can store, manage and discover enterprise information across all tiers of storage. Global enterprises can now manage data growth more efficiently and access the wealth of information traditionally locked inside backup and archive copies, creating new business value from existing infrastructure. The largest release in CommVault's history, the CommVault Simpana 7.0 suite provided major enhancements to data protection, archiving and replication solutions, additional platform coverage, and also delivers a rich set of new product features, including: Enterprise-wide Search and Discovery, Single Instance Store (SIS), High Performance Content Indexing, Data Classification, Expanded Security and Encryption Capabilities, and Post-processing for Encryption, Content Indexing and SIS.

CommVault's singular information management solutions and management software have been widely accepted by the industry. In January of 2008, CommVault announced that it has entered into a collaborative agreement with Sun Microsystems Inc. Under this agreement, Sun will distribute globally the CommVault Simpana 7.0 data and information management software suite running on Sun Microsystems x64 server and storage systems. Together, the two companies will assist customers in optimizing their corporate infrastructures for 64-bit applications based on Microsoft's messaging and collaboration applications.

Early in 2008, CommVault launched its own SaaS solution. Remote Operation Management Service (ROMS) enables customers to dramatically reduce both operational costs and system downtime. ROMS reduces personnel expenses associated with data management, access and protection activities by allowing customers to offload that responsibility to CommVault's ROMS systems and personnel. Time-to-resolution for issues affecting monitored systems is greatly reduced as ROMS provides CommVault support with all necessary information to address alerts as they occur. As a subscription-based service, CommVault's ROMS listener software, installed on the CommServe(TM) system, is also designed to dynamically update and enhance itself via a secure socket layer (SSL) connection to the ROMS central database in real time.

Through CommVault's commitment to innovation and with broad market acceptance, the company continues to achieve record company earnings. For the third quarter of fiscal 2008, total revenues were a record $50.3 million, an increase of 31% over the third quarter of fiscal 2007 and 6% over the prior quarter. Software revenue in the third quarter of fiscal 2008 was $27.0 million, up 28% year-over-year and 2% sequentially. Services revenue in the third quarter of fiscal 2008 was $23.3 million, up 36% year-over-year and 12% sequentially.
