News Facts

  • CommVault has been positioned in the "Leaders" quadrant in Gartner Inc.'s Magic Quadrant for Enterprise, Disk-Based Backup and Recovery1, which was published January 28, 2011.
  • According to the report, "the rising frustration with backup implies that the data protection approaches of the past may no longer suffice in meeting current, much less future, recovery requirements."
  • Specifically, Gartner reports that "many organizations are re-architecting their backup infrastructures and support procedures in an effort to modernize their approach to handle new data types and large workload volumes, and to improve backup and restore times."
  • In support of this move to modernize data management, CommVault has extended Simpana(R) 9 software to take full advantage of hardware snapshot and replication storage platforms, deliver both target- and source-side deduplication, as well as expanded support for virtual server environments.
