CommVault SYSTEMS TO SUPPORT StorageTek SN6000 ENVIRONMENTS

CommVault Systems, a provider of enterprise data management solutions, and StorageTek, a storage services and solutions expert, have announced that CommVault Galaxy, version 4.1, data management and protection software supports the StorageTek StorageNet 6000 ("SN6000") virtual tape system. The combination of CommVault Galaxy software and the StorageTek SN6000 virtual tape system provides enterprise customers with automated tape storage and access to libraries housing terabytes or even petabytes of stored data.

"Our customers are always looking for ways to better leverage their data and storage resource investments," said Larry Cormier, vice president of marketing and business development, CommVault Systems. "By pairing the SN6000 virtual tape system with Galaxy, customers will be armed to easily manage the complexity of their growing heterogeneous enterprises. The SN6000's efficient tape asset management, coupled with Galaxy's fast data backup and restore capability, allows customers to consolidate storage resources while being assured that data is available, when and where they need it."

"The SN6000 and its software allow customers to more effectively and reliably perform the backup and restore operations that are critical to maintaining business continuity," said Pierre Cousin, StorageTek vice president and general manager, storage networking. "We are excited that we can now offer these benefits to CommVault Galaxy users."

The StorageTek SN6000 uses a breakthrough architecture that enables seamless, scalable and highly efficient management of tape storage resources. When combined with the SN6000's Virtual Transport Manager (VTM) software, the result is the core of a virtual tape solution that delivers a unique combination of utilization, reliability, and scalability benefits, allowing customers to more effectively manage more data.

CommVault Galaxy Backup and Recovery software, version 4.1, offers a unified, scalable data management and protection solution for distributed, heterogeneous environments, including UNIX, Linux, Windows, Netware, Oracle, SQL Server, Microsoft Exchange, SharePoint Portal Server, Lotus Notes, NAS devices and SAN architectures. With Galaxy, policy-based data protection can now be enforced across operating environments and applications, helping customers simplify complex storage networks. Its robust media management provides flexible control of backup libraries, drives and media that is comprehensive, automated and transparent. CommVault Galaxy software is fully integrated with CommVault QiNetix, the single, automated platform that manages and moves data, based on its attributes and storage environment.
