Simpana 8 Software Reduces Storage Infrastructure Costs for Microsoft Customers

  • CommVault® Simpana® software leverages a Singular Information Management® approach to ensure superior data management and seamless integration with Microsoft applications in virtualized (Hyper-V) and non-virtualized environments, including Microsoft Windows Server 2008, Microsoft Exchange Server 2007, Microsoft SQL Server, Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007, Microsoft FAST content indexing, Microsoft Office Communications Server and Active Directory.
  • Simpana software takes advantage of an expandable set of application modules all developed on a single underlying code base to simplify enterprise data management and maximize overall cost efficiencies. The integration of modules for backup and recovery, archiving, replication, resource management and search, including Microsoft FAST content indexing, enables customers to streamline data growth management, lower overall costs, increase operational efficiencies and reduce compliance risks.
  • Simpana 8 includes the industry's first global embedded software deduplication, which spans both disk and tape tiers of storage more affordably and more easily than the approaches used by hardware-based deduplication appliances. With Simpana’s deduplication, Microsoft customers can use a simple Windows Server and commodity disk as a deduplication target at a more attractive price point than a comparable dedicated appliance. CommVault's unique, end-to-end approach expands the benefits of block-level deduplication for Windows file data, Exchange Server 2007 and Office SharePoint Server 2007 across all backup and archive copies within an organization, resulting in cost-effective scaling and increased performance across the entire data management infrastructure.
  • CommVault’s software is “Release Independent,” which helps simplify and accelerate new installations or upgrades to Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007, Windows SharePoint Services 3.0, Exchange Server 2007 or the latest version of Windows.
  • CommVault’s truly unified, single-platform approach also facilitates granular recovery to ease the management of Exchange Server 2007 environments as well as SharePoint, SQL, Office Communications Server, Active Directory and ADAM.

FSA Group Takes Advantage of Microsoft, Simpana software and FAST to Streamline IT

  • FSA Group, a financial services firm based in Sydney, Australia, standardized on Windows Server 2003 and other core Microsoft software to streamline IT operations. The company also deployed CommVault Simpana software for unified data management, archiving, replication and resource management.
  • Using technology from FAST, FSA Group reports that it retrieves archived documents in seconds instead of hours, which saves up to 40 hours a month on user requests. FSA also claims that it has achieved “five nines” uptime while streamlining its Microsoft software upgrades.
  • “CommVault Simpana is so well integrated with Microsoft software, it’s almost like they were designed together,” says Fred El-Tahche, chief information officer of FSA Group. “There’s a lot of integration between CommVault software, Windows search functionality and Active Directory, which makes setting up permissions simple. It’s also so much easier now that we work with a single console for data backup, recovery, archiving and email compliance.”
