Business Description
Commvault is a leading provider of data protection and information management
software applications and related services. Commvault was incorporated in 1996
as a Delaware corporation. The Commvault software platform is an enterprise
level, integrated protection data and information management solution, built
from the ground up on a single platform and unified code base. All software
functionality shares the same back-end technologies to deliver the benefits
of a holistic approach to protecting, managing, and accessing data. The software
addresses many aspects of data management in the enterprise, while providing
scalability and control of data and information. We also provide our customers
with a broad range of professional services that are delivered by our worldwide
support and field operations.
Key features of our software platform include:
Data protection solutions supporting all major operating systems, applications,
and databases on virtual and physical servers, network-attached storage, cloud-based
infrastructures, and mobile devices;
Management through a single console; view, manage, and access all functions
and all data and information across the enterprise;
Multiple protection methods including backup and archive, snapshot management,
replication, and content indexing for eDiscovery;
Efficient storage management using deduplication for disk, tape and cloud;
Integration with the industrys top storage arrays to automate the creation
of indexed, application-aware hardware snapshot copies across multi-vendor storage
environments;
Complete virtual infrastructure management supporting multiple hypervisors,
including VMware and Hyper-V;
Security capabilities to limit access to critical data, provide granular management
capabilities, and provide single sign on access for Active Directory users;
Policy based data management, allowing users to manage data based on business
needs and not physical location; and
An end-user experience that allows them to protect, find and recover their own
data using common tools such as web browsers, Microsoft Outlook and File Explorer.
Commvault software is built upon an innovative single platform architecture.
We refer to the single, unified code base underlying each of our applications
as our Single Platform. Our Single Platform is unique and differentiates us
from our competitors, some of whom address market needs by offering multiple
and disparate point products that have come together as a collection often as
a result of acquisition strategies. We believe that the disparate and point
product approach forces users to install and maintain separate products requiring
their own infrastructure, training, maintenance and management which can result
in a complex and costly environment for customers who are looking for a single
solution that will improve operations, minimize risk and reduce overall costs.
Commvault software enables customers to simply and cost effectively protect
and manage their enterprise data throughout its lifecycle, from the mobile worker
to the remote office, to the data center, covering the leading operating systems,
relational databases, virtualized environments and applications. In addition
to addressing today’s data and information management challenges, our
customers can realize lower capital costs through more efficient use of their
enterprise-wide storage infrastructure assets. This includes the automated movement
of data from higher cost to lower cost storage devices, and through sharing
and better utilization of storage resources across the enterprise. We can also
provide our customers with reduced operating costs through a variety of methods,
including fast application deployment, reduced training time, lower cost of
storage media consumables, proactive monitoring and analysis, and lower administrative
overhead.
