    UK, Germany and the Netherlands Survey Demonstrates Clear Need for
     Improved Proactive Management of Electronic Document and File
     Discovery Processes In Order to Mitigate Organisational Risk

READING, England--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 8, 2008--CommVault (NASDAQ:CVLT):

-- A new study, commissioned by CommVault and conducted by market
 research firm Dynamic Markets Ltd., reveals the top issues that legal
 professionals and other senior managers find most worrisome regarding
 the discovery of electronically stored information (ESI) and conveys
 a marked sense of concern among those tasked with mitigating
 organisational risk.
-- The 2008 survey: Corporate Hide and Seek examines the perceptions
 of 300 in-house legal professionals and senior managers in the UK,
 Germany and the Netherlands related to the common legal and financial
 risks associated with not being able to retrieve documentation, as
 well as its impact on their organisations. Among the report's key
 findings:
    -- One in two organisations (47 percent) questioned have suffered
     serious consequences as a result of IT systems failing to deliver
     on demand critical data needed to support legal disputes. These
     consequences include the payment of penalties, loss of the legal
     dispute, or the delay or failure to produce the required
     information.
    -- 39 percent of the companies interviewed believe they are still
     at risk of receiving financial penalties for not being able to
     produce documents by legally imposed deadlines.
    -- Of those who believe they are still at risk, 58 percent have
     experienced delays in producing information and nearly half (47
     percent) have failed to produce such critical information.
    -- Nineteen percent of businesses have lost a legal dispute and 19
     percent have also received financial penalties.
    -- Despite 80 percent of organisations claiming to have made an
     investment in IT to address discovery challenges, 60 percent of
     respondents think their IT department is not always able to
     deliver information quickly enough for them to do their legal job
     efficiently. If future legislative changes shorten legal
     deadlines, this problem is predicted by respondents to worsen;
     making it even harder for legal departments to respond to
     discovery requests in a timely manner.

    Quote

    --  "eDiscovery and compliance demands continue to be of critical
        concern to many European organisations. After highly
        publicised scandals, such as Enron, we expected the research
        to show that businesses had adopted far more rigorous
        approaches to identifying and retrieving electronically stored
        information across backup and archived data aimed at improving
        litigation readiness and reducing organizational risk. What is
        surprising is most organisations interviewed had suffered
        serious consequences because they were unable to retrieve and
        recover specific data, yet the significant majority felt they
        had adequate technology in place to produce critical
        information on demand. This is obviously not the case," said
        Steven Rose, CommVault's executive vice president of EMEA.

    Additional Information

    --  "Corporate Hide & Seek" was commissioned by CommVault and
        details quantitative research with individuals responsible for
        dealing with legal issues for large companies (250 or more
        employees) in the UK, Germany and the Netherlands.

    --  A total of 300 interviews were conducted with in-house legal
        professionals (94%) or with a senior manager who gets involved
        in legal issues for the company (6%). All respondents
        confirmed prior to interview that they personally get involved
        in legal disputes their organisation might have, such as
        payment disputes, breaches of contract or NDA's, employment
        issues etc. For the non-legal professionals, job titles
        included CEO, FD, Head of Personnel, HR Manager, Personal
        Development Officer, Director of Administration, IT Director
        and Officer of Personal and General Affairs.
