Highlights: Simpana® 9 enables organizations to:

1. Deliver near-instant backup of hundreds of virtual machines and applications within minutes.

2. Easily recover VMs, applications

and data stored across tiers of storage and tape.

3. Reduce the amount of data

backed up and archived by up to 90%.

4. Implement centrally managed

global, end-to-end deduplication across 100’s of clients without losing the ability to tailor data protection and retention needs.

5. Have independent retention

periods for replicated copies so that administrators can control how long data remains online for each copy of data.

6. Use capacity-based licensing

with dashboards and trend analysis to obtain visibility and ease of management while eliminating time consuming audits.

7. Simplify and automate the

reporting and migration of IBM TSM and Symantec NetBackup clients to Simpana.

Simpana® 9 Revolutionary Technology Delivers Significant Enhancements to Improve Operational Efficiency, Agility and Reduce Storage Costs

Simpana® 9 provides IT departments with the tools needed to modernize their data management strategy to contain costs and improve efficiencies. By leveraging a single

code base and platform, Simpana software simplifies an IT organizations ability to manage data across its lifecycle with integrated modules for Backup & Recovery, Archive,

plication, Resource Management and Search.

This modern data management approach enables IT departments strengths of this “common” platform combined with unsurpassed featureperformance against alternative point-level solutions to address data across its lifecycle.

Virtual Server Data Protection

Unanticipated surges in virtual machines and data growth makes virtual environments very dynamic, difficult to predict, manage and protect. Existing products and procedures often no longer work or may not be applicable to large environments. With hundreds to thousands of virtual machines (VMs) driving rapid data growth administrators find that meeting backup windows becomes very difficult and application and file recovery is a multi-step, complex process that takes too long.

Simpana 9 delivers unique and necessary capabilities for administrators protecting virtual

nments. With support for thousands of VMs and integration with array-based snapshots, hundreds of VMs running applications (Oracle, SQL Server, SAP, DB2, MS Exchange) can be backed up in a consistent state within minutes. Via the Simpana user interface administrators can automate and create multiple recovery points each day, catalog content residing within sdata across tiers of storage and tape.

As new VMs come online, Simpana software automatically discovers and protects using pre-defined data protection policies which ensures new VMs are unprotected. Advanced reporting provides administrators with a 360 degree view of their environment and describes the physical environment and the contents of individual VMs.

Simpana 9 revolutionizes application recovery in virtual environments knows where application data is at all times, administrators can use

January, 2009 CommVault introduced Simpana 8 which included -based embedded block-level deduplication solution spanning both disk and tape.

This unique end-to-end approach expanded the benefits of block-level deduplication across an entire organization’s backup and archive copies and addressed the limitations of hardware-based target devices. Customers achieved up to 90% savings on disk and ape at much lower cost, the ability to select their storage system of choice

Simpana 9 introduces Gen 3 Deduplication which eliminates redundant backup andarchive data by up to 90% starting at the client. This extends deduplication across the enterprise from client-to-disk-to-tape with one solution and reduces the amount of data
