CommVault
(NASDAQ:
CVLT), Oceanport, NJ, Nov. 11, 2008
- CommVault today announced that it is enhancing its strategic
relationship with NetApp to better address archive concerns as they
relate to storage optimization and eDiscovery. NetApp selected
CommVault as one of the few vendors to enter into its Strategic
Alliance Partnership.
- NetApp recognized CommVault as a strategic partner because of
its next-generation capabilities, which are part of the
CommVault® Simpana® 7.0 software suite. Unique in the
marketplace, the Simpana suite, working in conjunction with
NetApp® storage solutions, provides customers with archiving,
backup and search from a single platform, while increasing storage
efficiencies and driving down associated archiving costs.
- In recent years, requirements for archiving, compliance and
eDiscovery, including changes to the Federal Rules of Civil
Procedure, which regulate Electronically Stored Information (ESI),
have become more complex and interrelated. While competing
solutions typically have taken a point product approach, the
Simpana suite, with its Singular Information Management®
approach, better addresses the way organizations manage the
retention, access and compliance of data without sacrificing cost
and performance.
- Through joint development, the Simpana suite integrates tightly
with NetApp SnapVault® and SnapMirror® offerings to
provide the right mix of data efficiency and accessibility,
regardless of which NetApp storage system is being used. This helps
deliver true flexibility in archiving over the full lifecycle of
retained data and will enable joint customers to support multiple
classes of storage and policies within a single architecture.
- Additionally, as part of this relationship, CommVault and
NetApp have integrated their complementary solutions to better
archive, search, migrate and manage data assets. This is achieved
with one truly scalable and flexible approach that drives down
operating costs and consumes less physical storage while increasing
overall access to information.
- According to an October 2008 report by ESG1,
archiving requirements have changed over recent years and, as a
result, organizations require more agile management solutions that
optimize the way data is controlled across storage technology
without sacrificing accessibility, particularly as it relates to
compliance and eDiscovery. Today's announcement shows that true
data management efficiency is achievable without duplicating
efforts or processing data unnecessarily.
