CommVault Simpana Software Solves Data Protection for Physical, Virtual and Cloud Environments

Simpana software solves the problem of protecting enterprise data – from the data center to the edge, and to the cloud – by integrating application intelligence with heterogeneous hardware snapshots, indexing, deduplication, and replication to efficiently capture, move, retain, find and recover data from any storage tier, including snapshots, disk, tape and cloud.
Simpana software is one product built on a single platform to intelligently manage and protect data and information across heterogeneous applications, hypervisors, operating systems and infrastructure from a single console.
With a single, modern platform, CommVault Simpana software replaces legacy solutions which are a collection of loosely integrated tools, appliances and disparate point products that impact operational efficiency, are costly and leave businesses at risk.
