CommVault Would Like To Hear Your "Tales of Achieving Oneness." Contest kicks off today!

Wednesday, November 16, 2011

Not long ago, CommVault introduced Achieve Oneness™, a phrase that best describes the unique value of our Simpana® software and our approach to solving today's data management woes. We have captured this message in the myriad of customer case studies we've published in the last year. We're proud of our customers' stories and delighted that we can share how Simpana software's unique single-platform architecture has helped IT solve the challenges they face in managing their data. Every day I speak with customers who are eager to join their peers in sharing their experiences with Simpana software – from the operational efficiencies, to the cost savings, to the reduced risk that they've achieved. And with so many stories out there, we are opening the doors to give our end users the opportunity to share their very own tales with their fellow CommVault community.

Starting today, CommVault is launching the "Tales of Achieving Oneness" contest, inviting you to share how Simpana software's single-platform approach has helped you modernize your data management practices and "Achieve Oneness" for a chance to win an Apple® iPad® 2. In a 3-5 minute video or written 300-500-word story, we want to know how Simpana software is enabling you to realize cost, labor, storage, and performance efficiencies that you never knew were possible. Tell us about a particular data management challenge you overcame using Simpana software, and share your success story about how Simpana software made it possible to reduce cost and complexity in your data center.

We hope to hear from IT professionals across all industries who have successfully replaced inefficient point solutions and, thanks to Simpana software, have Achieved Oneness.
