CommVault Expands the Power of Industry-Leading Snapshot Technology With New IntelliSnap(TM) Connect Program
-- New Partner Program Empowers Array Vendors to Deliver Unmatched Data Protection and Snapshot Management Capabilities --
OCEANPORT, N.J., Jan. 24, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- CommVault (NASDAQ: CVLT) -- The explosion of data coupled with data center modernization, virtualization and cloud computing have overwhelmed traditional backup methods and led to poor recovery times, potential data loss and higher costs and business risk. The only way to bridge this data protection gap requires a radical new approach to protecting applications, systems and data through tight integration of data management software with hardware snapshot and replication technologies. CommVault is making this modern data protection approach available to more customers than ever by expanding its support for array-based snapshots through the new CommVault® IntelliSnap(TM) Connect Program.

News Facts
-- CommVault today introduced the IntelliSnap(TM) Connect Program, an open
development program that enables disk array vendors to integrate their
array-based snapshot solutions with the SnapProtect® module in
CommVault Simpana® software.
-- With Simpana® software and Qualified IntelliSnap(TM) Connect Arrays,
customers can further consolidate and extend their SAN investments for
greater efficiency and accelerated backup and recovery performance while
reducing recovery costs and minimizing the risk of data loss.
-- IntelliSnap(TM) Connect Partners gain exclusive access to technology and
resources that help them create innovative solutions, differentiate
their storage platforms and gain competitive advantage in the data and
information management marketplace by harnessing the power of
application-aware snapshot management to provide customers with the most
scalable and reliable data protection technologies.
-- Working with CommVault's IntelliSnap(TM) program, prospective partners
are provided a Software Development Kit that allows them to rapidly and
reliably integrate their storage systems with Simpana software and, upon
completion of the program, achieve Qualified IntelliSnap(TM) Connect
Array status.
-- Qualified IntelliSnap(TM) Connect Arrays are fully supported with
Simpana software to allow users to harness the full power of rapid-fire,
persistent, hardware-based snapshots with leading data management
capabilities to protect the largest, most demanding virtual and physical
server environments.
-- The IntelliSnap(TM) Connect Program bolsters CommVault's standing as
having the industry's most comprehensive compatibility matrix for
hardware snapshot management without custom scripting or solution
modifications helping customers unlock and optimize their existing and
future SAN investments. Since the beginning of 2011, Simpana software's
SnapProtect technology has supported nine of the top 10 best-selling
storage arrays in the industry and, when the IBM DS8000 is used with the
IBM SVC (SAN Volume Controller), SnapProtect technology supports all 10.
-- Companies like Dell, HDS, and NetApp are foundational members of the
program while emerging players like Nimble Storage and XIO are working
toward full integration within the program parameters.
-- CommVault's support for disk-based snapshot management is unmatched in
the industry and includes integration with Dell's Compellent,
EqualLogic, and MD arrays, the EMC DMX, VMAX and VNX platforms, Hitachi
Virtual Storage Platform (VSP), Hitachi Universal Storage Platform® V
(USP V) and Hitachi Adaptable Modular Storage (AMS) from Hitachi Data
Systems, HP's EVA and 3PAR arrays, IBM XIV and SVC, and storage arrays
and replication technology from NetApp including their LSI storage
arrays.

The Power of Modern Data Protection with Array-Based Snapshots
-- Redefining traditional backup, Simpana software quickly captures the
application consistent copies without impacting the performance of
production applications, allowing customers to fully leverage
investments made in high performance storage arrays to tackle the 24x7
uptime and accessibility challenges surrounding mission and business
critical data.
-- With a rapid-fire, persistent, hardware-based snapshot capability fully
integrated, Simpana SnapProtect technology delivers the performance
capability to protect the largest, most demanding virtual and physical
server environments and recover them in minutes.
-- By creating snapshot copies using the storage array, backup time can be
slashed to approximately five minutes or less and production server
impact can be minimized.
-- CommVault's integrated approach to snapshot management eliminates the
need to create and maintain scripts and manage numerous storage array
tools and consoles independently. The centralized management, protection
and recovery of application data across tiers of disk and tape storage
becomes fast and simple and occurs without impacting production systems.
-- With SnapProtect technology, customers can recover individual objects,
files, whole volumes or entire applications, including Microsoft
Exchange, SharePoint, SQL Server, Oracle, DB2 and SAP.

David Ngo, Director of Engineering Alliances, CommVault:
-- "The IntelliSnap Connect Program ensures that more customers than ever
will have access to advanced, comprehensive data protection solutions.
This program is essential for our partners to rapidly develop complete,
modern data protection solutions that set them apart in highly
competitive and rapidly changing technology markets."
Dave Russell, Research Vice President, Storage Technologies and Strategies, Gartner, Inc.:
-- "Many of today's backup applications were designed and optimized for
environments that are now outdated, resulting in a greater willingness
on the part of organizations to modernize and consider new technologies
and vendors for data protection. We continue to see a growing number of
organizations turn to snapshot and replication technologies as a method
for augmenting or replacing traditional backup software and believe that
vendors in consideration should be pushed for their current and
committed road maps for new data protection capabilities, such as
snapshot and replication file sharing, and potentially cloud
capabilities."
Mike Davis, Director of Marketing for Dell NAS and Backup Solutions, Dell Enterprise Storage:
-- "Dell and CommVault work closely together to help provide integrated,
automated and scalable solutions designed to manage and protect our
customers' vital information assets. With SnapProtect integration,
Dell's customers can more seamlessly leverage our products' high
performance array-based snapshots, to better protect their data and
quickly adapt to changing demands in physical and virtual environments."
Sean Moser, Vice President, Software Products, Hitachi Data Systems:
