Products
editSimpana Software
editSimpana software is a data and information management suite built on a scalable, single platform and unifying code base. Simpana software modules share a common set of advanced capabilities related to the storage and access of data and are administered through one console application. Simpana software modules and functions include: Backup and Recovery, Snapshot Management, Deduplication, Replication, Archive, Reporting and Analytics, Hierarchical Storage Management (Automated Storage Tiering), Enterprise Search and Security and Encryption. In October 2012, CommVault began selling snapshot management as a separate software product without data backup, called IntelliSnap Recovery Manager.[4]
All Simpana-managed data resides in a virtual repository called the ContentStore. Data is automatically tiered and stored according to user-defined policies. A shared index catalogs the data version and location of deduplicated snapshot, backup and archive copies. This catalog can be used for granular recovery of files in the ContentStore.[5]
The company divides its software products into nine solution categories:
- Data Protection
- Virtual Server Protection
- Laptop/Desktop Protection & Mobile Access
- Disaster Recovery
- Application Recovery
- Electronic Discovery & Compliance
- Storage Optimization
- Big Data
- Cloud Computing
Key Partners
