Customer Momentum Driven by Unified Data Management Platform

* Simpana software was built from the ground up so modules share a common
platform, letting a single copy of data be optimized and repurposed multiple
times while being managed centrally with a "single pane of glass" view of an
organization`s entire data management infrastructure. This unique Singular
Information Management approach leverages a single code base and single set of
policies, enabling customers to virtually eliminate the backend complexity
associated with traditional solutions. 
* Simpana 8, CommVault`s latest software release, features game-changing
advancements, including global, embedded deduplication; snapshot data

rising data, CommVault customers can reduce data management and related storage
expenses by up to 40 percent. In addition to these business cost savings,
Simpana software`s single platform approach provides customers with true
operational benefits: increased flexibility of existing storage assets, improved
reliability and scalability, and simplified management of storage environments.
