Environment and Singular Approach to Data Management to Speed Backup and Restore Capabilities While Improving Remote Office Data Protection

OCEANPORT, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 22, 2008--CommVault (NASDAQ:CVLT):

-- Gilbane Inc., one of the largest privately held family-owned
 companies in the construction and real estate industry, has deployed
 CommVault(R) Simpana(R) Backup and Replication software to address
 its disaster recovery and business continuity needs.
-- Gilbane has annual revenues topping $3 billion and employs more
 than 2,100 people in 30 offices nationwide. The company is known for
 high-profile construction projects, including the Prudential Center,
 home of the New Jersey Devils' sports arena, Smithsonian's National
 Air and Space Museum, as well as the World War II and Vietnam War
 Memorials in Washington, D.C.
-- To support annual email growth of more than 30 percent and gain
 further benefit from automating core administrative processes and
 remote office data protection, Gilbane evaluated multiple vendor
 solutions including Symantec VERITAS NetBackup. The company chose
 CommVault(R) Simpana(R) Backup and Replication software to protect 14
 TBs of production data. CommVault's solutions offered the ease of
 use, scalability and functionality necessary to support the
 construction company's rapid growth without increasing costs or IT
 staff. Additionally, CommVault had deep expertise and experience
 protecting Microsoft SQL Server and Exchange environments.
-- By leveraging CommVault Simpana software, Gilbane replaced tape-
 based backup and recovery with online storage to speed operations.
 They deployed CommVault Replication software to reliably protect
 their remote office data and enhance their disaster recovery
 capabilities by:
    -- Centralizing their remote office backups to the datacenter
    -- Leveraging essential "Application awareness" for maintaining
     consistency between production and replicated data;
    -- Eliminating tape backup in their remote offices
    -- Continuously protecting data
    -- Automating protection and recovery
    -- Using bandwidth throttling to optimize available network
     resources.
    -- Managing all their data with one trained team

ROI: Administrative Savings, Reduced Risk and Improved Strategic Focus

    According to Gilbane, the company realized the following benefits:

    --  Savings of more than 300 hours per year in company-wide data
        protection management, resulting in a 25 percent increase in
        strategic IT projects completed each quarter.

    --  Backups reduced from 24 hours to less than eight; file
        recoveries reduced from two weeks to less than an hour.

    --  Near real-time replication assures highest levels of business
        continuity.

    --  Seamless integration with Microsoft environment eliminates
        costs, complexities and inefficiencies of remote data
        management.

    --  Point-and-click reporting for monitoring all backups and
        replication functions.

    --  Single platform architecture simplifies data management, to
        support planned migration to its CommVault(R) Simpana(R) 7.0
        Software suite for 64-bit architecture and deployment of
        CommVault Archive software to address evolving storage
        management and eDiscovery needs.

    --  "The big draw for CommVault software is its unified
        architecture, which requires less administrative resources for
        managing data, and provides a scalable, seamless structure for
        supporting business needs both now and in the future," said
        Lance Osojnicki, CTO of Gilbane.

    --  "Now, our ability to manage our data is completely seamless
        and transparent," added Osojnicki. "We don't need to know
        where restored data resides as CommVault software manages all
        that data and we just click on what needs to be recovered."

        platform, we have increased our project deliverables by more
        than 25 percent each year. Simpana Software with Replication
