CommVault Systems (NASDAQ: CVLT) has been recognised in Gartner's 2009 Magic Quadrant for e-mail active archiving (see Carolyn DiCenzo and Kenneth Chin Gartner's 2009 Magic Quadrant for E-Mail Active Archiving, Gartner, 19 May 2009).
“The growing size of e-mail data stores, coupled with the requirement to retain e-mail records for regulatory compliance and legal discovery, has created a market for e-mail active-archiving tools,” the report states.
The exponential cost of managing ever-increasing messaging data is compounded by the complexity of storing, administering and protecting this data while also being able to preserve and quickly locate it for compliance and eDiscovery purposes.
CommVault's e-mail archiving and data retention solutions seamlessly blend as integral parts of the company's overall holistic approach to data and information management. With its unique single platform approach, CommVault Simpana software redefines how companies recover and discover enterprise information across all tiers of storage, while dramatically lowering the costs and challenges associated with retaining, searching and retrieving valuable information.
“E-mail archiving continues to be a cornerstone of CommVault's multi-tiered data retention strategy,” says Simon Taylor, senior director of CommVault's Information Access Management group. “We have consistently advanced our product architecture and continue to see year-over-year growth with new customers. CommVault's mature archiving technology addresses issues associated with data retention while seamlessly integrating with our core search and discovery strengths to provide customers flexible and holistic data and information management.”
Rob Rees, senior systems architect for ICOS/CMC Biologics, said: “Having one console to manage all aspects of our physical and virtual server environment has enabled us to elevate our data protection, archive and migration capabilities to new levels of functionality while lowering our administrative overhead.”
Singular Information Managementeases archiving for compliance, discovery, data retention:
Since 2008, CommVault has significantly grown its archiving business, expanding its total archiving customer base to more than 1 500 customers who are leveraging Simpana software to meet escalating requirements for long-term data retention and compliance management. Sales of CommVault's Advanced Data and Information Management solutions, which include deduplication, virtualisation, archiving and search functionality, have been growing at a quarterly average year-over-year rate of 69% since July 2007.
CommVault Simpana 8.0 e-mail active-archive software for Microsoft Exchange Server and Lotus Notes Domino Server enables IT teams to control server and storage costs while helping legal and compliance teams reduce corporate risk and respond efficiently to eDiscovery actions.
Simpana 8, CommVault's latest software release, features a host of product innovations to ensure ease of use and rapid archiving and data retention, including global, embedded deduplication, enterprise content classification, automated content workflow, and web-based search navigation, as well as compliance and eDiscovery management.

In addition to these business cost savings, Simpana software's single platform approach provides customers with distinct operational benefits, including improved reliability, scalability and streamlined management of existing storage assets.
