OCEANPORT, N.J., and ENGLEWOOD, Colo., March 12, 2007 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX News Network/ -- CommVault(R) (Nasdaq: CVLT), a leading provider of Unified Data Management(R) solutions, and Arrow Electronics, Inc. (NYSE: ARW), through its Arrow Enterprise Computing Solutions (ECS) business unit, today announced that they have signed a wide-ranging distribution agreement. The agreement covers North American commercial markets and initially designates Arrow as the exclusive value-added distributor for CommVault's full suite of award-winning enterprise data management products and services.

As CommVault continues to expand its global footprint, this is the latest in a series of worldwide agreements that mark its commitment to developing a more efficient and effective two-tier channel distribution strategy. The relationship enables CommVault to reach more resellers and end users through Arrow ECS' extensive relationships with more than 7,500 reseller partners and its broad scale. It also gives CommVault access to Arrow ECS' community of storage resellers and systems integrators who fit the company's ideal channel partner profile of having a strong storage practice focused on data migration, data archive, compliance, disaster recovery and business continuity planning.

"Expanding our channel strategy with an experienced and efficient distribution partner like Arrow ECS is a key part of our growth strategy and we are excited about the potential of this relationship for both companies," said Ron Miiller, CommVault's vice president of North American sales. "As enterprise market demand for CommVault products continues to increase, Arrow ECS is well-equipped to support our growing number of transactions. Moving our channel business through Arrow ECS is an obvious step to accelerating CommVault's reach into the market."

Through the agreement, over 100 CommVault Bronze, Silver and Gold level resellers will be transferred to Arrow ECS and will gain a new level of support in the form of Arrow ECS' outstanding engineering, marketing, financing, certification and training services. They will also gain access to Arrow ECS' extensive line card of more than 75 computer product brands.

CommVault software complements Arrow ECS' major storage hardware lines including HP and Network Appliance, thereby enabling Arrow ECS to offer a range of enterprise data management solutions across its partner community to help address customer needs and capture more sales revenue.

"We are delighted to offer CommVault's suite of data management solutions to our partners and to be able to help CommVault's existing channel partners build out their enterprise data management practices," said Lance Sedlak, general manager for Arrow ECS' software group. "As data requirements grow more rapidly, Arrow ECS is committed to delivering industry-leading solutions for the storage management and other high-growth software markets to meet the needs of our partners and their customers."
