News Facts

  • Last month, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) held its second workshop as part of a Cloud Computing Program to speed the adoption of cloud computing while ensuring best practices and standards for interoperability, portability and security.

  • With Simpana(R) 9 software, CommVault is well positioned to help its customers address compliance and information retention as they adopt cloud computing while enabling them to better meet strategic requirements for eDiscovery, archiving and risk management.
  • By meeting the current emerging standards for cloud governance, as well as compliance with certain specific industry regulations for information access and retention, CommVault software supports Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC)-enabled cloud models to help businesses comply not only with current regulations but also anticipate future ones.
