McAfee, Inc. and CommVault Form Strategic Alliance to Deliver Integrated Data and Security Management Solutions
LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
McAfee (NYSE:MFE) and CommVault (NASDAQ:CVLT):
-- McAfee, Inc. (NYSE: MFE) and CommVault (NASDAQ: CVLT) today
announced a strategic partnership to deliver an integrated
data and security management solution built on the two
companies' respective data management, backup and security
expertise.
-- The agreement will provide customers worldwide with access to
integrated data and security management technology solutions
from both McAfee and CommVault.
-- The solution integrates McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator(R)
(ePO(TM)) software, McAfee's security risk management
platform, with the award-winning CommVault(R) Simpana(R)
software, which delivers Backup, Replication, Archive, Storage
Resource Management and Search capabilities.
-- As part of the partnership, CommVault has also joined the
McAfee(R) Security Innovation Alliance, McAfee's technology
partnering program, which is designed to accelerate the
development of interoperable security products and simplify
the integration of those products with complex customer
environments. Additionally, McAfee has joined CommVault's
PartnerAdvantage(TM) program as a Strategic Partner to help
expand product integration efforts, compatibility testing and
further align the companies' go-to-market strategies.
-- The McAfee-CommVault solution will enable mutual customers to
monitor corporate data for increased security and compliance
with simplified policy management. The integration allows
McAfee ePO users to report on the data protection/recovery
state of end point clients to identify conditions such as the
backup status. When that condition is outside the prescribed
protection policy threshold it can trigger an alert
notification or report to warn the ePO user. Additional
integration features are expected to target expanded software
distribution and data leakage profiling using the Simpana
Search and eDiscovery features.
-- This partnership highlights the ongoing commitment of both
companies to provide customers with powerful solutions that
address both security and data backup. The solution will not
only help reduce the complexity in customers' IT environments
but also improve protection, compliance and lower the Total
Cost of Ownership.
Availability
-- The initial phase of the integrated McAfee ePolicy
Orchestrator and CommVault Simpana software solution is
expected to be available in 2009. For more information on
