Michael Ivanov Joins CommVault to Head Archive Center of Excellence

OCEANPORT, N.J., March 28, 2007 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX News Network/ -- CommVault(R) (Nasdaq: CVLT), a leading provider of Unified Data Management(R) solutions, today announced new initiatives to accelerate its push into the global archive market, which includes the appointment of Michael Ivanov as the head of the company's newly formed Archive Center of Excellence (ACOE).

Reporting to David West, CommVault's vice president of marketing and business development, Ivanov will spearhead the ACOE's targeting of the data archive market, increase core product competency, develop relevant sales and marketing programs, and establish thought leadership, while collaborating and recruiting relevant partners dedicated to archive management. The development of an aggressive business strategy for the global archive market will complement CommVault's existing programs for its data protection, replication and storage management product lines, and build on its growing archive install base of hundreds of customers.

"Mike is an ideal leader for our Archive Center of Excellence and his expertise will help accelerate our penetration of the global archive market," said David West, vice president of marketing and business development, CommVault. "He uniquely combines valuable enterprise experience with an entrepreneurial passion that will be invaluable as we build on the potential offered by our data archive product line. His extensive marketing and product management experience with software solutions will be especially important as we deliver additional components of our Unified Data Management strategy and increase customer adoption of technologies beyond our leading backup software."

Established in response to customer demand for solutions that address today's exponential storage growth and increasing regulatory compliance pressures around legal hold and discovery, the ACOE is a cross-functional team comprised of subject matter experts that span the organization in marketing, product management, support, services, and executive management. With advanced data archiving capabilities for file system and email data, CommVault offers customers the ability to perform discovery across all types of Electronically Stored Information (ESI) and not just email.

"In today's on-demand information and regulatory environment, and with email being such a critical communications medium, our IT team relies on rapid access to data when and where they need it," said Joe Martins, vice president, Information Technology, Design Within Reach. "Using CommVault, what used to take us two months, now takes us two days. The ability to enable end-users to search and retrieve relevant business information across all our data saves our administrators a huge amount of time. By reducing the effort required, this also translates into bottom line cost savings which delivers top line business value."

Commenting on the value of a single infrastructure for managing data rather than the fragmented approach of competitors, Michael Ivanov, senior director, Archiving Business, CommVault said, "The convergence we are seeing of archive data from email to file system data, SharePoint, and other unstructured content, as well as integrated archive with backup, replication, snapshot, and other information management capabilities make CommVault's unified approach highly relevant and strategic to customers today. I am looking forward to building on our data archive momentum and helping CommVault attain the level of recognition and visibility it deserves within the archive marketplace."

With over 14 years of experience in marketing management in the storage industry, with an emphasis on technical, strategic product marketing, Ivanov joins CommVault from Mimosa Systems. As vice president of product marketing, he was responsible for all aspects of marketing including product management, product marketing, and corporate marketing. As the first executive hired outside of the co-founders, he was instrumental in defining the product, building Mimosa's brand, and was a key evangelist for the company. Prior to Mimosa Systems, Ivanov was senior director of product management for VERITAS Software (now Symantec). Over the course of his nine year tenure at the company, which he joined as part of the 1999 merger with Seagate Software, Ivanov was responsible for the overall Windows strategy and managed the Backup Exec, Volume Manager, Storage Replicator, Storage Migrator, NetBackup Professional, and WinINSTALL product lines. Ivanov has also held product management and sales positions at Micro Design International, developers of SCSI device driver solutions.
