CommVault announces enhanced data management capabilities

By David Rubinstein

April 2, 2009 —  An updated platform for managing data across Microsoft’s servers and ActiveDirectory was released Monday by CommVault. Simpana 8, the company said, improves recovery management, the ability to organize content and reduce data, and virtual server management.

Further, the software adds heterogeneous online and offline records management capabilities for SharePoint, and it embeds Microsoft’s FAST indexing engine to manage data at a more granular level, the company announced. The release also facilitates disk and tape data deduplication, expanding the benefits of the block-level dedupe for SharePoint Server.

"Simpana 8 software is a significant step forward for Microsoft customers who have come to rely on CommVault for their data management needs," said Randy De Meno, chief evangelist at CommVault. "We're excited to work with Microsoft to deliver innovative features such as Records Management for the Records Center site in Microsoft Office SharePoint Server. With CommVault embedded software deduplication, users can enable a simple Windows Server to be an extremely cost-effective deduplication device.”
