Since its introduction in July of last year, adopted by thousands of customers, CommVault’s Simpana software suite, addresses the problems end-users face as they try to manage data to fulfill their current risk mitigation, disaster recovery, or archive and compliance requirements. Storage management technologies, with CommVault Simpana software, are unified to meet customer demand for a single data and information management platform rather than having the user be the integrator for multiple point solutions. While improving the responsiveness and agility of the IT organization, CommVault Simpana software, by giving businesses a single, holistic view across multiple data silos and storage tiers with its unique Singular Information Management® approach, enhances an organization’s ability to remain competitive by helping to maximize business resources and reducing costs.
