This unique Singular Information Management approach leverages a single code base and single set of policies, enabling customers to virtually eliminate the backend complexity associated with traditional solutions.
  • Simpana 8, CommVault’s latest software release, features game-changing advancements, including global, embedded deduplication; snapshot data protection; simplified management of virtualized environments and enterprise content classification to streamline data retention, compliance and eDiscovery.
  • Using Simpana software to simplify how companies store and manage rapidly rising data, CommVault customers can reduce data management and related storage expenses by up to 40 percent. In addition to these business cost savings, Simpana software’s single platform approach provides customers with true operational benefits: increased flexibility of existing storage assets, improved reliability and scalability, and simplified management of storage environments.
