OCEANPORT, N.J., April 23, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- CommVault (NASDAQ: CVLT)
CommVault today announced an expanded collaboration with Microsoft Corp. to offer a cloud storage capability that combines the power of Simpana® software with the benefits and flexibility of storing data on the Windows Azure cloud platform. As data is expected to double every two years, organizations are grappling with flat budgets and costly primary storage that may contain up to 70 percent of infrequently accessed, stale data[1], said Sheila Childs, Research VP, Storage Technologies and Strategies, Gartner. The new offering provides enterprise organizations a simple, cost-effective solution to archive, index, search and access massive amounts of data for long-term retention and compliance. This combined data management solution for Windows Azure offers up to 62 TBs of cloud storage capacity and the data and information management capabilities of Simpana 9 Express for a starting price of approximately $50,000.

A Singular Solution for Managing Big Data in the Cloud
-- Cloud data storage delivers compelling economics to any IT environment
struggling with data management. Because cloud storage providers
leverage multi-tenant architectures, infrastructure costs are shared
across many users. This helps lower costs substantially versus on-site
solutions, which require additional provisioning, power, cooling costs,
and more.
-- CommVault's next-generation Singular Information Management®
innovations empower Simpana® software customers to seamlessly leverage
the cloud to lower data management costs, reduce business and compliance
risks and easily extract data for better decision making with anywhere,
anytime information access.

N. Robert Hammer, Chairman, President and CEO, CommVault:
-- "Big Data keeps getting bigger and enterprise IT organizations are in
need of simple, cost effective solutions for storing and managing
massive amounts of data over long periods of time. CommVault and
Microsoft have worked closely to enhance the capabilities of the Windows
Azure platform, while adding substantial value to Microsoft
applications. This new level of collaborative focus on cloud computing
will bring tremendous value to our customers."
Walid Abu-Hadba, Corporate Vice President of the Developer & Platform Evangelism Group at Microsoft:
-- "Microsoft's public and private cloud solutions help cover the spectrum
of data center needs. CommVault has been adding value every step of the
way, and it's great to see such a strong on-premises company committing
to Windows Azure."
Brian Babineau, Vice President, Research and Analyst Services, Enterprise Strategy Group:
-- "According to our most recent IT spending intentions survey, 74% of
organizations plan to increase spending on cloud computing services in
2012. We attribute much of this massive growth to innovative solutions,
such as this data management offering from Microsoft and CommVault, that
simplify the transition to the cloud. While both companies have
extremely robust technology underpinning the combined data protection
and archive service, customers may very well adopt it because of the
all-inclusive, predictable pricing model and ease of implementation."
