CommVault Introduces Simple, Cost-Effective Data Management Bundle for Microsoft Exchange Environments

--New Bundle Integrates Hardware Snapshot, Protection and Archive Software with Simplified Licensing and Rapid Deployment Capabilities--

OCEANPORT, N.J., July 13, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- CommVault   (NASDAQ: CVLT) -- The need to better manage data growth, optimize infrastructure costs, and improve availability of mission-critical messaging systems data continues to intensify as organizations adopt and upgrade to Microsoft® Exchange Server 2010. According to Sheila Childs, research vice president at Gartner, "Many companies rolling out this latest release of Exchange are considering an overhaul of their legacy backup products based on a single, unified strategy that aligns data protection, archive and discovery." As the pioneer in modern data protection, CommVault is introducing a new bundle to its channel partners designed to simplify the management, lower the cost and increase the productivity of applications running in mid-range and smaller IT environments. The new bundle combines award-winning Simpana® software backup and content archiving with a broad range of protection capabilities including application-aware snapshot management, source-side deduplication, global reporting, and leading hardware and service recommendations that simplify protection and recovery for growing Exchange environments.

News Facts

    --  CommVault is introducing a new Modern Data Management bundle to help
        users address with a single solution a variety of data management issues
        common to several applications including Microsoft Exchange, SQL,
        SharePoint, Active Directory, Hyper-V and VMware environments. The new
        bundle is available through CommVault's worldwide channel partner
        network.
    --  Unlike alternative "point-product" approaches to Exchange management,
        the CommVault bundle addresses recovery, archiving, data reduction and
        policy management, from a single platform and interface to dramatically
        reduce the cost and complexity of protecting dynamic email environments.
        This eliminates the need for users to implement separate backup
        applications and archiving products.
    --  The new Modern Data Management bundle includes advanced software, as
        well as hardware and services recommendations, and operational
        guidelines that leverage CommVault's expertise in modern data
        management.
    --  The linchpin of the Modern Data Management Bundle is a flexible capacity
        licensing model that lets customers protect Microsoft Exchange and other
        applications and file types. Users can change scope, scale and
        protection methods at will and for little additional cost or management
        overhead. Additionally, the CommVault capacity licensing model provides
        an affordable entry point and seamless growth path when compared to
        traditional, standalone backup/ recovery and archive software.
    --  The new fully unified solution packages CommVault® Simpana 9 software
        capacity licenses for both Backup/ Recovery and Archive   which include
        advanced capabilities like source-side deduplication and its
        SnapProtect(TM) technology for application consistent snapshots with
        reference architectures and implementation guidance. CommVault's long
        history of leadership in protecting Microsoft applications was
        reinforced recently when Microsoft awarded the company its 2011
        Microsoft Server Platform Partner of the Year award.
    --  CommVault Simpana 9 software was also recently named the winner of the
        Backup and Recovery category in the Best of Tech-Ed 2011 awards program
        produced by Penton Media's Windows IT Pro, SQL Server Magazine,
        DevProConnections and SharePoint Pro.

CommVault Advances Modern Data Management

    --  CommVault recognizes the pivotal role its channel partners play in
        driving successful Microsoft Exchange implementations.
    --  CommVault's comprehensive approach ensures the highest levels of
        application availability with SnapProtect(TM) technology, which creates
        application consistent snapshots of Microsoft Exchange environments in
        minutes without complex scripting. This technology makes granular
        Exchange 2010 restores much easier and faster than recoveries using
        legacy methods. The bundle also enables granular restores from previous
        versions of Exchange to Exchange 2010.
    --  The new Modern Data Management Bundle also includes Simpana software's
        advanced capabilities like source-side deduplication,   which eliminates
        redundant data at the source to increase network efficiency and reduce
        storage requirements.
    --  Overall storage costs and migration timetables can be reduced
        significantly using integrated archiving that moves old, infrequently
        accessed data from primary disk storage to less expensive, secondary
        storage tiers including cloud storage.
    --  CommVault's Modern Data Management Bundle offers end-users, IT teams,
        along with legal and compliance teams the ability to monitor, classify
        and report on the size, scope and operational characteristics of the
        Exchange environment.  Additionally, capacity usage and advanced
        reporting views help accelerate migration efforts to Exchange 2010,
        while also identifying stale data for archiving policies.
