Release Details

OCEANPORT, N.J., Jul 31, 2007 (BUSINESS WIRE) --

The recent introduction of the Simpana(TM) 7.0 software suite by CommVault(R) (NASDAQ:CVLT) has prompted praise from two leading industry analyst firms, IDC and Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG). In two separate and independently-written reports, both firms recognize CommVault's unique single platform approach to storing, managing and discovering enterprise information across all tiers of storage. The reports also highlight new data and information management product features in the CommVault Simpana 7.0 suite such as enterprise-wide search and discovery, single instance storage (SIS), high-performance content indexing, data classification and expanded encryption capabilities, as well as the ability to streamline and simplify access to the information traditionally locked inside backup and archive copies.

"With Simpana 7.0 software, companies can now manage data growth more efficiently and make smarter, quicker business decisions by instantly accessing the wealth of information that resides in various repositories across the enterprise," said David West, CommVault's vice president of marketing and business development. "We're pleased that these reports from two leading industry analyst firms recognize our leadership in delivering Singular Information Management(TM) solutions, as well as the technical innovation built into our latest product release, the Simpana 7.0 software suite."

What the Analysts are Saying

According to a recent IDC report, "CommVault Launches Simpana 7.0 Software Suite, Rebranding Its Data Management Software," (Doc #207758, July, 2007), analysts Rhoda Phillips and Noemi Greyzdorf state that with Simpana 7.0 software, "CommVault is well positioned to continue taking advantage of its Singular Information Management platform to deliver services that help enterprises take control of their information assets. The release of Simpana 7.0 and its new features creates an opportunity for CommVault to gain greater visibility in the market and to differentiate itself from its primary competitors, Symantec and EMC, in the enterprise space."

Commenting on CommVault's unique approach to managing information in the ESG Brief entitled "CommVault's Simpana Streamlines and Simplifies," (July, 2007) ESG analyst Lauren Whitehouse notes CommVault's approach to unifying all of these processes is logical and practical and that, "CommVault has been quietly leading the convergence charge for several years now." Whitehouse further commented that, "The power of Simpana continues to be in its unified approach to search and data management. The Singular Information Management platform offers a great deal of efficiency improvements, including a lower impact on production systems, global management of data and simplified administration, to name a few.
