It's that time of year again...time for LegalTech New York. For those of who you follow CommVault but are not familiar with LegalTech, it is the largest and most important legal technology event in the U.S. Each January, we look forward to battling the weather and sharing with the legal community all that CommVault has to offer for creating efficiencies throughout the eDiscovery process.
The team here at CommVault is winding up a really cool little project with our friends at NetApp on a new scalable Virtual Infrastructure reference architecture and I want to take a minute to share a couple of the details on the power of this solution. This virtual infrastructure architecture represents a joint CommVault, NetApp and VMware solution that leverages NetApp SnapProtect® snapshot management technology to deliver optimized data protection for customers and partners looking to quickly build out "IT as a Service" delivery models.
Information, like knowledge, can be power. However, information without context is just data. Organizing data into meaningful or actionable content requires time, effort and familiarity with the subject to achieve meaningful value. The analysis of the multi-element aspects of large-scale data movement could consume an enormous amount of resources — resources that most enterprises have in extremely short supply. When a repeatable operational task fails to function, a background process — data backup — rapidly becomes a forefront issue, and one that may consume multiple resources, across multiple disciplines to resolve. Through the automation of data analytics, these processes can more rapidly resume background status, increasing the efficiency of enterprise operations.
While this blog will generally be reserved for topics relating to Microsoft technologies and trends, today I'm proud to write about the most recent "CommVault Hockey Helping Kids" event that took place in the Xcel Energy Center in Minnesota. We're grateful that our Platinum sponsors; Microsoft and Dell/Compellent as well as the Minnesota Whitecaps (Best USA Women players on the planet) have joined us this season to help various children's charities. Our first of three (maybe four) events this season benefited the Autism Society of Minnesota. Together with the help of the Minnesota Wild hockey club, we raised over $10,000 for the AuSM in their efforts to enhance the lives of individuals with Autistic Spectrum Disorders.
It's no secret that 'Big Data' is becoming a 'Big Problem' for organizations from a data and storage management perspective. However what organizations may fail to realize is that the best way to solve their Big Data problems is NOT by mindlessly throwing more resources at them. Rather it is to look at Big Data more strategically and then tackle the data management problems it creates in one fell swoop using software like CommVault® Simpana® and its OnePass technology.
Enterprise storage software maker CommVault won't follow the same track its competitors did, and will continue to run solo for the time being, according to a statement by Bob Hammer, the chief executive, chairman and president of the company.
