Unified Data & Information Management, our way.

Each and every prospective customer of CommVault has one or more issues to contend with that have a direct impact on the capital budgets for infrastructure and staff costs associated with managing their data. It’s not only data growth that highlights the financial and operational issues but the continuing reliance on legacy solutions that were not designed to meet today’s data management needs. It’s this combination that is driving organisations to discuss their requirements with CommVault.

This session focussing on Data & Information management will cover two distinct parts. The first will be delivered by Graeme Gordon; Operations Director of Internet For Business. IFB replaced their legacy Data Management solutions with CommVault some years ago. A significant part of IFB's business model is to protect their customers data in the most efficient and secure way possible. As a service provider it's imperative that IFB do this in a way that scales as their business grows but does not impact their operational cost model or service delivery. IFB has many customers with differing requirements for their data, its protection, location and retention. Graham will discuss how IFB is able to successfully deliver it's service in the face of a growing customer base and an ever increasing quantity of data.The second discourse is from Simon Gregory of CommVault and will detail the approach and technologies that are having the biggest impact on capital and operational costs. After all, no-one buys software just because it looks good. Based on customer and partner feedback, Simon will detail how to handle the ramp-up in data quantities, what to look for, where to find savings and how to effect changes that will deliver efficiencies in both operations and cost.This is only a 30 minute session so be warned it is highly unlikely that all of your data management woes will be resolved in this seminar but the CommVault team will be on hand to review your specific Data Management concerns and fill in any blanks.

CommVault Systems Stand E36

Officially, CommVault is a publicly traded data management software company headquartered in Oceanport, New Jersey. We first made our mark with the industry’s leading backup software product. But, from the beginning—over a decade ago—our founders were passionately committed to going beyond backup, giving companies a better way to organize, protect, and access business information.

Many of our 10,000+ customers started talking with us in search of a better alternative to their existing backup systems. But, ultimately, they were won over by CommVault’s unique philosophy and ability to deliver complete data and information management solutions with simplicity, infinite scalability and unprecedented control over data and costs.

In 2008, CommVault was one of only two data management software companies to receive a “Positive” rating from Gartner in their Enterprise Backup/Recovery Software MarketScope (no other company rated higher). And leading technology companies worldwide have formed strategic partnerships with us, including Dell, HDS, HP, Microsoft, NetApp, VMware, Novell, Oracle, Sun Microsystems, and Bull.
A wealth of accolades, and revenue growth greater than 3 times the software industry average further reflect the industry’s burgeoning enthusiasm for CommVault’s revolutionary approach to data management.

CommVault software is one software product with one platform designed to eliminate the need for a myriad of disparate, point-level products, with separate interfaces, hardware infrastructures, training and support requirements, and costs. It is inherently flexible, efficient, scalable and adaptable. And it naturally results in significant cost reductions.

Eschewing the inefficient siloed approach to data management, Simpana software employs licensable modules for Backup, Archive, Replication, Resource Management, and Search—all built from the ground up on a single unifying code base and common platform.

All modules are built in to the Simpana common platform, simply waiting to be turned on if and when you need them. This Solving Forward solution gives enterprise users a truly integrated data management system in place from the beginning.

Because the Simpana common platform was designed to be infinitely scalable, newly developed modules will ”talk” effortlessly to all other Simpana modules for integrated data management far into the future.

The fact that CommVault® software is all built on a single unified platform is not a marketing distinction designed to set us apart from our competitors. It is the foundation of a truly revolutionary data management approach that solves a real problem and delivers real results, helping companies better manage, access, and recover their data—all while reducing costs and risk.

For over 10,000 CommVault customers, these real-world benefits generate demonstrable efficiency and business advantages. For example, ROI analysis shows Simpana® software can reduce storage-related costs—including hardware, personnel, and consumables—by up to 40%.
Our customers experience reductions of up to 90% in off-site tapes and up to 50% of tape drives. Simpana software also virtually eliminates backup windows, and it can reduce backup administration time by an average of 42%.

The dramatic economic and operational value Simpana software delivers to our customers can only be touched upon in a small brochure. Discover what CommVault can solve for you visit www.commvault.com
