- CommVault (NASDAQ:CVLT) today announced that Magirus International, one of the leading European IT solution providers headquartered in Stuttgart, Germany, will now offer CommVault(R) Simpana(R) software as part of its storage and data management portfolio.
- To enable Magirus to provide its partners with a more comprehensive portfolio of data and information management solutions that complement its existing range of storage systems and services, Magirus will distribute the CommVault Simpana suite of Backup/Recovery, Replication, Archive, Search and Resource Management software to resellers in the UK, Germany, Italy, Spain, Austria and Switzerland.
- Under the new agreement, Magirus will assume local marketing, product distribution, reseller accreditation, professional services and certain support responsibilities for CommVault Simpana software.

Magirus will also gain access to CommVault's world class technical support and training network.
- With this agreement, CommVault continues to expand its footprint across the European market building on existing OEM and partner agreements which include Bull and Incentra Solutions.
- Magirus' strong background in storage and vast knowledge of the IT industry were appealing to CommVault as we reviewed potential strategic partners.

- CommVault is a strategic addition to our storage portfolio and will give our resellers a greater choice of solutions.
