Gartner names CommVault as a Leader in the Magic Quadrant for enterprise information archiving

CommVault has been positioned by Gartner in the Leader quadrant of the Magic Quadrant for enterprise information archiving* for the second consecutive year.

According to Gartner, “the Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Information Archiving profiles vendors that offer, at a minimum, integrated email and some other content archiving utilised predominantly for information governance and e-discovery, with storage capacity management as a secondary benefit. Leaders have the highest combined measures of ability to execute and completeness of vision. They have a proven track record of financial performance and established market presence".

Said N. Robert Hammer, Chairman, president and CEO, CommVault: “We believe this is continued validation that our comprehensive, singular approach to data and information management is helping customers solve their biggest challenges. CommVault software goes beyond backup to reduce risk and costs to help companies seek new ways to derive value from their information.”

Gartner states that “by 2019, 75% of organisations will treat archived data as an active and ‘nearline’ data source, and not simply as a separate repository to be viewed or searched periodically, up from less than 10% today.” 

The firm also notes that enterprise information archiving (EIA) “is emerging as a commonly used technology underpinning for higher-level use cases supporting compliance, information governance, e-discovery and historical preservation of data. Originating as a technology solution targeted specifically at email applications, the EIA market has expanded to include broad support for multiple content types.”

CommVault provides users with instant information access across all data. Customers can slash costs by as much as half, reduce administrative overhead by up to 80%, and lower aggregate support costs by up to 35%. 

As part of its EIA solution, CommVault recently announced the Simpana for Email Archive Solution Set, which increases productivity, reduces compliance risk, and improves insights by integrating self-service access, simplified e-discovery and legal hold**, and cost-effective long-term retention. The software is licensed per mailbox and includes flexible archive, search and compliance options.
