Added Platform and Application Support Widens Gap between CommVault Simpana and Conventional Storage Management Software

Customers Gain Unparalleled Control Over Their Data Through
Comprehensive Storage Reporting and Resource Management
OCEANPORT, N.J.--(Business Wire)--
Responding to storage administrator's demands for solutions that
simplify storage operations, CommVault (NASDAQ: CVLT) today announced
an updated version of CommVault(R) Storage Manager, one of five core
modules in the CommVault(R) Simpana(R) software suite. With new,
heterogeneous support for several platforms and applications,
CommVault Storage Manager 7.0 identifies data types, growth trends,
and cost metrics across complex heterogeneous environments, allowing
users to adopt a proactive approach to tracking and analyzing data
with intuitive information management capabilities. By improving the
breadth and depth of this latest offering and ability to optimize
tiered storage infrastructures by leveraging the entire CommVault
Simpana software suite, CommVault is widening the gap between
CommVault Storage Manager and conventional storage resource management
(SRM) and reporting products.

"The first step towards making our Singular Information Management
solution a reality is understanding your data, where it resides, how
much it costs to manage and store, as well as the value it brings to
your organization," said Michael Marchi, vice president Product and
Segment Marketing, CommVault. "CommVault Storage Manager gives
customers the tools they need to better understand how storage
resources are being utilized. Using CommVault's SRM software,
customers can address the increasing requirements to lower storage
management costs and improve data availability and system
performance."

The newest version of CommVault Storage Manager 7.0 offers robust
management capabilities across heterogeneous environments with
exceptional scalability. In addition to extensive heterogeneous
platform support which includes Microsoft Windows and Microsoft 64-bit
technologies, Novell NetWare, Solaris, HP-UX, and AIX, CommVault
Storage Manager extends support for the latest Linux versions,
including Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and SUSE Linux Enterprise 10.
CommVault Storage Manager also adds significant new NAS reporting
capabilities for EMC Celerra and the latest NetApp (ONTAP) storage
systems. Storage Manager 7.0 software enables IT to implement
consistent usage policies across platforms, applications, geographies
and departments to provide customers the broadest choice in platforms
and applications available today.

CommVault Storage Manager is designed to help customers reduce the
time spent each week reporting on IT performance, trends, costs,
backups and/or utilization. "We expect that customers could see a 30
percent reduction in the time spent on reporting on their IT
environment through the use of our SRM software," added Marchi. Upon
deploying Storage Manager, customers benefit from the ability to
reclaim wasted storage, track trends and optimize storage utilization
to reduce storage spending, working heterogeneously across all
platforms and applications.

According to Noemi Greyzdorf, research manager with IDC's Storage
Software group, "Storage resource management can no longer be thought
of as a standalone product but rather an integral component of any
unified data management suite. SRM provides the necessary visibility
to simplify the task of managing storage and data resources in today's
complex environments. The ease of deployment and integration across
the CommVault Simpana 7.0 software suite has enabled CommVault Storage
Manager to gain traction and to position itself for growth in response
to market demands for greater integration of storage and data
management products."
